Food Administration" at 1920 f. o. b..
Chicago, which means, freight added,
approximately $40. 1t is a crime,
under the law to exact more; it can
not sell for less, because the govern
ment will pay that price for it. The
price of the 1918 crop is fixed by the
Food Act. Approved August 10th, at
not less than 5000, Chicago-which
means 1920 in North Carolina. 1t can
not be less. this much is guaranteed;
it may be more. 1t would therefore
seem clear that we can produce in
North Carolina a much larger crop of
wheat than we have been producing
at profit. Every consideration of
humanity would urge us to do all we
can whether at a profit or a loss)
to keep fed a hungry world. In many
countries women and children are
dying of hunger; many thousands
every week.
Patriotism calls for Especial Effort"
which we are best fitted. and thou
sands OF us here in North Carolina can
best do u war bit in the line of
food production and food saving.
Let us double u wheat acreage
this year:
First: 1t will pay us in dollars and
cents.
Second: 1t will help to save mil
lions of starving people.
Third: 1t is our line Of service
to our country; a concrete and
worth while expression Of patriotism.
I wonder if every minister in North
Carolina who breaches weekly to land
owners will, for the next three or four
Sabbaths, briefly urge his people to
this duty?

Bigger Better Babies Contest.

The biggest Better Babies contest
ever held in the state and probably in
the South will be held here at the
state fair next month, October 1920.
Fol this purpose a wing or section OF
the new Woman's building, recently
constructed and used this season for
the first time, has been set apart and
specially equipped. The interest of
the babies has been we'll looked after
in the new building, and their pres
ence with that of their mothers is
counted on as being n of the biggest
features of this years fair.
The babies are already enrolling.
Miss Mae Reynolds, who is secretary
of the Better Babies contest, is re-
ceiving applications and requests for
information almost daily and says that
such interest in the contest has not
been shown this early before. The
names of one-hlaf dozen fine babies
have already been placed on the list.
The contest will be again under the
management of the Woman's Club of
Raleigh, with Mrs. W. A. Withers as
chairman. The same rules and regu-
lations as those governing the contest
last year and previous years will be
observed this year. Babies from six
to thirty-six months old will be admit
ted and the same system of making
the examinations and keeping the
scores will be used. The services of
expert physicians baby specialists,
and trained nurses will be secured.

HIRE VILLA FOR e
THEIR DIRTY WORK
CONTINUED from page Il =

noint villa was making his headquar-
tiers at that time.
The Villa plan WAS to be USED
chiefly In the event OF failure 20 IN
duce Carranza to enter an intrigue
auzinst the United States and AS
possible means Of bringing pressure
to bear on carranza. It was hoped
to involve the defaeto government
and the United Staes in new, serious
complications, making the retention
Of a large part of the army along
the border necessary 3
That friction between carranza ana
the United States would tend 70
weaken the defacto power, was
pointed out to Villa by the Germ an
agents. -.
Mexican capital had set active IN
deruround influences to work upon
the first chief and his advisers to
induce them to consent to an ait
ance. The famous note sent by Car
rama to the neutral powers, asking
them to unite in refusing to furnish
supplies to belligerent countries, was
enuineered by the German propagan'
dsts It was the original Intention
to lead the first chief to order the
oil fields Of Tampico to be closed to
export. This was later modified to
the form in which IL was sent, be-
cause most Of the fields are owned
by English companies and large
amount Of the oil is used by the
English fleets and such action, there
fore, would have brought complica-
tons between England and Mexico.
Among officials in Mexico City
stories are afoat that tsso govern
ment officials In the firstf chiefs I'M
mediate circle Of influential men
were cooperating directly with Ger
man agents. One Of the newspapers
| in the capital 10 said to be under
subsidy to the Germans to print news
| from the German angle. In other
ways German money and Influence
are at work to sway the actions OF
the defacto government. Such efforts
| are rendered comparatively easy by
the cross currents Of jealousy and
ambition Of the different military and
political leaders.
| Stringent military censorship at all
the cable and telegraph offices IN
Mexico prevents the sending Of any
dispatch not approved by the gov
eminent.
Fay is in Mexico.

Robert Fay, wko plotted to destroy

ton received by the district attor
ney's office here.
Agents Of the department Of JUS
tice traced him to Mexico and found
he was engaged in a plot to stir
Villa to new attacks upon the Car
rama government, according to an
nouncement here. The United Press
