Hawaii Has Furnished Nearly 2,00O
More Men Than Its Quota for Army

Explanation of the quota allotment
for the selective draft army, as an
nounced on the 18th, shows that the
territory Of Hawaii stands in a class
by itself among the States and Ter
ritories, having already furnished
nearly 1000 men as volunteers in ex-
cess of the number required from the
islands to fill up the first army. Ev-
cry other State or Territory has been
benefited accordingly a reduction in
it's net quota.
This accounts for the adjustment
factor included in the tables fixing
quotas given out on the 18th and al
so for the fact that no quota is Civ
en- to Hawaii and that the Territory
will not be required to furnish any
men whatever. under the Presidents
call for $1,000.
On the basis Of population, Ha-
waits gross quota was 2,4O3. On
April 1, the territory had 4,237 men
in the national guard, or nearly double
the number required to fill the quota
Since April l, 142 additional guards.

War Department Says Col. Cox is FL

W Il DCpdl GIuOHN Gays SOAs IVA - Ell
igible-May Now Raise Regiment
Col. Albert L. Cox has been de-
clared eligible by the War Depart
ment and the late judge Of the sew
enth district may hold the commits
sion given him by Governor Beckett
if the regiment Of artillery is raised.
The War Department was asked a
few days ago by the Raleigh office
to pass upon Judge Cox's eligibility.
The jurist had been on the border
and resigned his place as captain of
the Raleigh company. He was then
a civilian with commission in nation
al guard and federal service gone,
even membership being absent. The
war department in Raleigh desired
a ruling on this question of eligibil-
ity and the department. at Washing
ton gives it in favor of Colonel Cox.
The ground on which the eligibility
of the new colonel is determined is
his service in the army as an Off
Ger. In the late Mexican sortie the
national guard got into the national
service.
The first issue having been settled
in favor Of Colonel Cox he ma now
proceed to the more difficult work
of raising the regiment. Things look
decidedly better today. 1t looked sub
stantially certain today that all the
batteries will be accepted. In the
Lenoir company la and in Moores.
Vile 80 were reported. The infirm-
airy company has been recruited tc
full strength and will be inspected in
Wilmington July 10. Only the sup.
ply with headquarters companies are

The police court judge in Washing
ton who the other day gave sixteen
world without amen White House
picket women suffragists the altern-
alive of paying a fine of SIS each or
serving 60 days in the District OF
Columbia workhouse, is quoted as
saying "his duty was exceptionally
difficult as they were women Of po-
sition, refinement and intelligence:
The fact that they were women Of
that class makes their conduct all
the more censurabfe. Better conduct
is expected of women Of position, re-
finement and intelligence. If they
were ignorant women who never had
"a chance there would be some excuse
for their conduct and they might de-
serve less punishment. But there is
small cause to worry about those wo-
men. They'll never serve out the SEN
tence.

SAVE ALL THAT'S BEEN MADE

"Good morning. Are you going
to dry today? If not, what are you
going to CAM"
That, beloved, is the salutation that
the Governor Of this Commonwealth
suggests as the most appropriate for
use right now and for quite some
spell. "Save all that has been made
and gather up the fragments that
nothing be lost" he urges in a proc
lamation which follows naturally now,
since he urged time back in his
planting day proclamation that all
the people give heed and plant every
little back yard and lot and hitherto
unused field with a view to making
record crops or something to eat. That
proclamation reached a people who
have Gears to hear" and record
breaking crops Of fruits and vege-
tables are at hand.
The Governor sounds warning
that the United States government
in all probability will purchase the
entire output Of all commercial can
neries in this country and therefore
the people must depend upon their
own efforts in canning and drying
fruits and vegetables. He urges that
something be canned every day and
that all who have not already done
so, write at once to DR.. B. w. Kilgore,
Raleigh, for circulars Nos. so and II,
which contain all necessary infor:,
nation about canning and drying.
For drying fruits and, vegetables the
Governor suggests that tobacco barns
be used. He suggests that cabbage
be put up in brine, the heads being
quartered for the purpose, instead OF
in saurer kraut.
Wherefore we judge that the Gov
ernor himself has been studying some
bulletins on canning and drying-or
maybe he slipped down to Robson
one day ard attended one of the all
dav canning demonstrations that are
being held. 1t is to be hoped that
his words of wisdom will be needed
by all the people: So shall there be
plenty in the land against the winter
time, and want shall remain afar
off. Otherwise, evil days draw nigh.

SPENT YEARS ON ISLE
TO CAPTURE "SEA cow"

Down on the east coast of Florida on
tiny island has lived for year in
solitary seclusion. John Barlow. Bare
foot, with his long locks nearly reach
ing his waist. unshaven, in the tattered
garments cast-off by residents of near
by towns. he has spent many years on
a single mission, the fulhllment of which
eliminated when the first manatee or
sea COW to have been captured in Year,,
was brought into Eau Gallie. Florida. by
Barlow ten days ago. Yesterday the
Southern Express Company delivered the
cow to the Johnny Jones Show, whose
management had reached an agreement
with Barlow some time previous.
Barlow was, 1t seems, years back a
well-known Snowman. Obsessed with the
idea of capturing a Manatee for ex-
hibitional purposes. Losing his money
in vain expeditions to recover the lost
prehistoric bovine of the briny deep,
Barlow gradually sank into melancholia
and took up his residence on barren
Banana Island. And now, his dreams
realized. Barlow is to return to civiliza-
ton and exhibit the sea COW throughout
the land.

Psychology of Printed Matter Ana
lyzed by Dr.. Sheferman.

That advertising suupercedsS the sales
man in importance and has become one
of the mightiest Industrial forces in the
world was the point brought out by DR..
n. w. Shefferman in an address on the
Psychology Of Advertising" delivered
before the Salesmanship Club of Wash
Ington, in the Oak room OF the Raleigh
last night
DR.. Shefrerman began his address with
an exposition OF the psychological in
ferences reacting on the minds of those
who read. and dwelt on the attention
compelling factors which created a IA
vorable frame OF mind.
Systematic observation Of the reac-
ton Of the advertisement on the class
to which one is catering shows the true
value Of the ensemble said DR. Shelf
ferrnan, "for It must be borne in mind
that the successful copy writer must
create a mood to get interest"
He spoke OF the value of first impress
sions and the importance attached to
conciseness. He spoke of hereditary en-
vironment and its psychological import
ance to the readers, who, DR.. Shelter
man said, would feel reaction going
on whenever an advertisement recalled
a jarring memory without furnishing q
remedy"

series by DR.. Shefferman on salesman
