CITIES AND TOWNS ARE
CALLED ON TO "DO THEIR BIT
They Should Cultivate in Food and
Feed Crops All Vacant Lands In
and Adjoining Them

A"C"
Raleigh, April 3O-The cities and
towns of the State are being called
upon to edo their bit" in the cam,
paign for increased food and feed
production being energetically push
ed by the State Food Conservation
commission. Governor Blcketts
proclamation in the interest OF more
home gardens was effective to a
marked degree, but the food commits,
sion is now going a step further and
calling upon the cities and towns OF
the State to undertake the cultiva-
tion in food and feed crops of all
vacant land in and adjoining them.
"The farmers are rallying to the
CALL" declared. Executive Secretary
John Paul Lucas of the commission,
sbut many of them are handicapped
because Of the shortage of workstock
and labor. 1t is evident to me al.
ready that, while practically all OF
our farmers are going to be wise
enough to raise sufficient food and
feedstuffs for their own establish
ments, and many of them surplus
that will be available to feed our cit
les and towns and mill communities,
We are still going to be short. 1t is
going to require a tremendously in
creased acreage to produce sufflcl-
ent stuff to take the place OF the
$50 1000, 900 of food and feedstuffs our
State has been importing. To pre-
vent want and hunger our cities and
towns must rally to the cause.
"There is vacant and idle land in
and near to every town and city IN
North Carolina. There is in every
city and town some workstock and
labor that can be temporarily divert
ed from other less vital activities to
the more important work OF tilllng
these lands. We are calling upon the
mayors, the commercial organlza..
tions and the progressive citizens OF
our towns and cities to act promptly
in getting all of their idle lands in
to food and feed crops, such as corn,
soy beans, peas and potatoes. In
Raleigh the Rotary club, which re-
Gently purchased garden seed for 100
poor families, has volunteered to as
sist in this important work.
"Our towns and cities can and
must be- a factor in increasing our
acreage and production of food and
feedstuffs. They will be the great
est suffers if the stuff is not pro-
duced and they are in a position to
rerder service to the nation and to
themselves in the same measure as
the farmer who has the workstock,
the labor and the land necessary to
increase his usual acreage. THIS
work can be undertaken by individu-
ais, sydicates, by the municipal au-
thorities or otherwise as local condl-
tions may determine, but our peo-
pie, to get the results demanded by
necessity, should act promptly"
In order to relieve the labor situa-
tion with the farmer to some extent
if possible the Food Conservation
commission is calling upon the may
or of every city and town in North
Carolina to rigidly enforce the vag-
rancy statute and force the loafers
to the farms or factories.

Paying the Piper.

Our war bill is likely to transcend
the estimates already made. The ST.
100000 that the President called
for in April is only a beginning. The
pending revenue measure is based on
the assumption that our militarization
will not cost more than this for the
ensuing fiscal year. But it is certain
to go far beyond this.
The expansion of the war program
has been marked within the past few
weeks. Saturday the House appro-
pTiated more than 500, 100000 for
aeronautics after four hours debate.
The Senate will not be as speedy, but
it will not keep the measure waiting.
Numerous other things are coming up.
Experiments with anti-submarine de-
vices may cost millions. New devel-
opments in shells and guns will greedi-
ly devour gold. We must keep UP
the pace, no matter what it costs us.
The nation will not tolerate any sec

Secretary OF the Navy Daniels re-
Gently gave an illustration of the
Wholesale scrapping of aeroplanes by
both sides in Europe. The invention
of new device-sometimes found on
captured enemy plane-has re-
peatedly rendered whole feet of fly
ing machines useless. They have been
cast aside regardless of the money
loss.
The determined attitude taken by
the administration regarding profiteer,
ing will save the American people
many hundreds of millions, but never
theless our bill is going to be magnifi-
cent, and beyond all our anticipations.
1t becomes evident that future gen.
erations must pay the bulk of it, that
Secretary McAdoo's plan of raising
approximately 30 per cent of it by cur
rent taxation must be utterly aban-
doned. The impost will not be borne.
The people will submit to a large and
generous measure of taxation, but the
scale which the head of the Treasury
originally proposed cannot be MAIN
tanned. That much is evident.
War is a business which simply de-
iies niggardliness. Victory cannot be
won when national parsimony enters
into the equation. We are in a po-
sition whe-e we can more calmly con-
template the lost of things than can
France, or England. or Russia. Any
of these nations are willing to ap-
proaeh the brink of bankruptcy IL win
ming the war reqgiIes it. Happily. We
are far. far away from that bridge,

Another sketch of prominent
army officer:
Born in Minnesota October Is, 1874,
and commissioned a first lieutenant
in the Twenty ninth Infantry Febru-
airy ,, 1901, from the State militia. At
the OF toreak of the Spanish-American
war. he was a first lieutenant in the
First Minnesota Infantry and was
later commissioned in the United
States volunteers. He is an honor
graduate of the Army School of the
Line, graduate of the Army Staff Col
lege and served on the General Staff,
19l1-l912.
Surgeon General Braisted. Of the
navy, has issued the following state
ment:
The health of the navy afioat and
ashore at the various naval stations
is excellent. Reports from the fleets
and other ships, both at home and
abroad, are satisfactory. Measures
for the control of certain commune
cable diseases which were carried to
few of the training stations some
time ago by the rapid expansion of
the navy and extensive recruiting
among susceptible young men in civil

were abnormally prevalent are pro-
crossing desirably and conditions in
this resrect are approaching the
and most of the patients remaining
are convalescent.
THE enlarged division of sanitation
is proving to be of great value and
many questions of interest are al
ready being handled. such as the
elimination of mental detectives at
the training stations, the detection
and treatment of those affected with
animal parasites, as well as germ
carriers of various types. All stations
are rapidly being covered by close
daily sanitary inspections. Great
activity is arUarent in new construc-
tion to care adequately for the pres
ent and future expansion of the
navy"
The American Library Association
has been asked by the War Depart
ments commission on training camp
activities to furnish public library IA
cilities to the thirty-two cantonments
and National Guard training camps
to be opened by the War Department
about September ]. and the associa-
tion has undertaken to render the
desired service,
Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of
/ the commission on training camp ac-
tivities, in a recent letter to DIR. Her
ert Putnam, Librarian of Congress
and chairman of the associations pre-
liminary committee to make plans
for this service, wrote as follows:
Because your organization can call
to its service the trained abilities of
ali the librarians of the United States,
1t seems natural to ask you to ad-
minister this problem for the gov
ernment. We approach you with more
assurance of your attitude, perhaps,
than We would otherwise be justified
| in feeling, because of your evident
Willingness to undertake this task, as
expressed in the resolutions adopted
by your organization in Louisville
last week.
Briefly we have in mind the erec-
ton in each camp of suitably eauip-
ped central library which will be
| under your management and direction.
The funds for the erection and equip.
ment of these buildings will have
to be provided from private sources,
and l trust that your organization
will be successful in obtaining ample
financial support"

and we will not cross it until We come
to it. In the meantime our credits to
our allies must be maintained by gen.
erous grants, since they are drawing
on the country heavily for supplies.
They are leaning on US economically
and financially, just as we are leaning
on them in a military sense. 1t is
a temporary arrangement of mutual
advantage.
Democratic civilization is worth saw
ing at whatever price it calls for in
the war market. The United States
is ready and willing to pay its share.
