Gates was the first one in Forest
City to become a member of the
Potter County Chapter of the Red
Cross, or rather the second, ye
editor being the first one
On Wednesday Mrs H. j. Eidam
also became member.
Since the farm forest, or wood
lands, supply firewood, fence posts,
poles, building and other timber
necessary for successful agricul-
ture, their protection and manage
ment become legitimately part
of farm work. by the sale of
choice grades and surplus common
produces woodlands add directly
to farm profits. The farm forest
if properly handled is bank &C
count against which the owner can
check each year in the form of
timber removed without any re.
duction in capital.
In the value Of forest products
derived yearly from the farm, &C.
cording to the last census, North
Carolina led all other states. The
materials, including 6rewood, fenc-
ing timber, logs, railroad ties,
poles, naval stores, cooperage
stock, and some other products,
amounted ln value to S11, 1864, 1874.
This was an average for the 6l.S
per cent of the farms reporting of
S72 per farm. Forty-eight per
cent of this amount represents the
value of materials used on the
farm, and the balance, or s., ,949,-
674, the value of all cut products
sold or, for sale and standing tim
ber sold.
Twothirds of the total forest
lands of North Carolina are in
farms. These II, 100000 acres of
forested farm lands possess great
possibilities for timber PREDICTION.
Fire protection is obviously far
easier and more effective than over
the large tracts in thinly settled,
unclearea regions. The location
near the homes Of the owners and
in regions of intensive local mar
kets is very advantageous. Pro
duction can be brought to a high
standard, and both cutting and
utilization be carried on under the
personal supervision of the owner.
Farm woodlands should add a
substantial lot to the farm income.

New York Leads in
Sale of Thrift Stamps
Cleveland Is Second and Bos-
ten Third in War Saving
CAMPAIGN

Nsw York leads every other city IN
the nation by nearly 100 per cent in
the sale OF thrift stamps. According
70 latest reports, G25,9s5 tariff stamps
have been distributed through the Fed
cral Reserve Bank in this city. The
postofices in the greater city have sold
approximately 100000 thrift stamps In
addition to those disposed Of By the
banks. Cleveland is second, with 3s7,-
900, and Boston third, with $4,000.
In the distribution Of war savings
stamps through the Federal Reserve
Bank New York is third. The Chi
eago banks have taken $4,000 war saw
!ngs stamps and Philadelphia $4,000.
The showing made in New York may
be due TO the fact that only few o.
ths larger banks have taken advantage
Of the opportunity 70 become agents
Of the second class. This situation will
be remedied as soon as more banks
apply for appointment as agents.
Figures received yesterday from
Washington By Director Frederic W.
Allen show the Federal banks through
out the country have sold sl2,5oo,000
worth of war savings stamps and SoOO,-
600 worth Of thrift stamps.

Il Is not very difficult for a
hotel to play square with its
guests If the proprietor IS nat
urally inclined that way. The
fellow who is not inclined to play
on the level might be induced to
do 80 under pressure, but even
then nobody trusts him.
The hotel man who pledges
himself to observe 'meatless
and "wheatless' days and then
does not do II is a traitor to his
country.
The Hotel Mems Association,
national, state and city, has gone
on record with a pledge to sup
port the government in conserv-
ing food.
The Belleclaire is keeping its
pledge and will do so. No guest
need expect to be served with
meat or wheat on days when it
has been agreed they shall not
be sold.
But-there is always good
food, plenty Of it, and splendidly
cooked, for the guests of the
Belleclaire every day in the

Priority Orders
Delay transportation

Here in this scientifically laid out
ward. representing the last word in
American experience in distributing
cars. making up trains and dispatch
ing them, are to be seen on every
hand the evidences Of the way the
priority orders are turning efficiency
into ineficiency and are actually de-
feating their own purposes by re-
tarding the volume of freight move
srnent and reducing its speed.
In normal times these yards, with
out any apparent effort, have re-
ceived and forwarded eight thousand
cars a day. Those were the piping
times of peace, when a little delay
was Of no Importance to any one.
Now. in these strenuous war times,
when delay of traffic often means
disaster, the yards, working most
strenuously and faithfully, find
their capacity down to 4,5OO cars.
Weather conditions have something
to do with lessened capacity, but the
main cause is the priority pest, the
pest Of pests that an uncoordinated
central government, ignorant OF
railway conditions and limitations,
has imposed upon the railways.
Every priority order is a dam and
damn of the stream Of traffic.
Each one delays the velocity of the
transportation current, each one in
terferes with that steady and or
derly movement at an even rate
which alone insures movement of the
maximum volume.
Every passing day the situation
grows worse. Nothing can relieve 1t
but authoritative brains at Wash
ington-brains that can correlate the
governments requirements TO the
limitations Of the transportation
systems.

|hED BLOOD AND BIG MUSCLE

The full -blooded man or woman usually has large muscles. Pale peo- |rle are ordinarily thin; their muscles |are small.
 Muacles are red not only because of the blood in them but because they contain hemoglobin, the same substance |that gives the rcd color to the blood And it is this hemoglobin that carries |oxygen in the blood and stores it up in the muscles.
 We'll oxidized blood is necessary if we would have strong muscles. In fact oxygen is the great supporter of life. Oxygen is used up when we work. When 2 set of muscles are active, as those of the back when we lift some- thing, their oxygen is used and unless the blood is rich and red with oxygen bearing hemoglobin those muscles ache.
 If you are pale and your back aches don't blame your kidneys. Try build- ing up the blood with Dr. Williams Pink Pills. These pills cause an in- crease of hemoglobin in the blood and SO enable it to carry more oxygen. There is renewed life and ambition. Everywhere that the new blood goes it carries vigor and this tonic treatment N the one thing that most rundown, facilitated people need.
 Your own druggist sells Dr. William1' Pink Pills. Price 50 cents.

Amethyst Reports Engaging in Battle With German Auxiliary Cruiser
 and Submarine.

Buenos Ayres, Feb. 2.-After a fight with a German submarine and Ger man auxiliary cruiser the British cruiser Amethyst has arrived at Per- nambuco, Brazil, according to de- spatches received from Pernambuco.
 The Amethyst reported that both German warships withdrew from the fight and made good their esca pc. The fight took place on Monday in the At lantic north of Pernambuco.
 This despatch is the first definite news confirming the many reports that that the German raider is accompan- jed by one or more submarines, hich are operating near the South Ameri- can coast It has been reported that the raider carried several very small submarines of totally new type.
 It is supposed that the auxiliary cruiser mentioned in the despatches is either the original raider which left Germany, reported to be the famous Moewe, ~or is one of her prizes out fitted as a raider. The British steam ship St. Theodore has been reported to have been thus converted.
 The Amethyst is fast British scout cruiser, displacing 5000 tons She can make 23.42 knots. Her armament consists of nine 4-inch guns The raider has been described as car rying much heavier armament.
