WHAT IS. 0, S." MEANS

In talking with the wireless opera
tor many ship passengers ask the
meaning of the three letters used in
the distress signal, IS. o. S." There
seems to be general opinion that
the letters are the abbreviation of
three separate words with definite
meaning. Persons of an imagin-
alive trend will tell you that the
letters stand for Save Our Ship,
Send Out Succor," Sink or Swim
or some such meaning. The letters
signify nothing. but that a ship is
in distress and in need of assistance
The call is used by all nations as d
universal code, so that any Wireless
operator, regardless of the language
he speaks, can Immediately inter
cept the call of distress. In as much
as the call is in use by all countries,
it can be seen that the signal can
have no meaning in any language.
The character of the code makes it
a call that can be picked up easily
from other signals. being composed
of three dots, three dashes, three
dots.

ATTENTION FARMERS

The government is calling on
every farmer and property owner to
do his best this year to get every
available foot of land in cultivation
in order that there will not be want
aud restitution later on. The wheat
crop is little better than halfa crop
and it is going to take a greater
abundance than ever now since the
United States is at war to feed the
allies as we'll as her own people
Soldiers and sailors canuot hight on
EMPTY stomachs-food is worth
more at times than cannon balls
and it is the patriotic duty of every
farmer to see that every available
foot of land is used for crops. 1t
will be needed and there will be q
good price paid.

A Training School for the purpose OF
preparing American citizens for service
as commissioned officers during the pc;
Rod of the present war will be held as
above Indicated
Those who satisfactorily complete the
preparatory work will be commissioned
as sotficers in the U. S. army. It is not
necessary that applicants should have
any previous military training. The pur-
pose of the school is to make officers out
of citizens. o.
The United States is now entering the
greatest war in it's history and has on
its hands the job of raising an army OF
twelve hundred thousand men, with no
other officers than those Of the regular
army and National guard to start with.
The Immediate and imperative need IS
FOR additional officers who can train and
handle men, and for this we shall require
in the next four or five months approx
imateK forty thousand officers in all
branches of the service.
North Carolina is called upon to FUR
nish. one thousand of these, and all that
is necessary to start with is sound
BODY, clear thinking mind, and the de-
sire for patriotic service. Surely this
GREAT state will not fail to furnish her
full quota.

WHAT WALL STREET rs DOING

A syndicate of Wall street tnan-

York $l0,00O,0OO in unsecured loans
at four and one half per cent to en-
able them to buy seed and hire
labor. That is magnificent and
munifcent. The interest is very
low, and the individual notes of the
farmers will be accepted. In what
other states will the capitalists make
CORRESPONDING propositions? This is

MCCORMICK FAVORS
DECORATIONS FOR
THE u. S. SOLDIERS

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Medill McCor-
mick. congressman from Illinois, who
recently visited the allied front in
Europe, told the United Press today
that he believed that congress should
enact legislation permitting American
soldiers and sailors to accept military
decorations of allied governments dur
ing the war"
In the past. by special act of con-
gress, Americans have been allowed to
receive decorations from foreign gov
ernments," said Mccormick. This
savors of favoritism and is manifestly
unfair.
Il believe this privilege should be ex-
tended to all Americans, regardless of
rank. 1t is common practice among
the allied nation"
Mccormick declined to state whether
he would include such a provision in
the bill he intends to introduce at the
next session. providing medals for
American war heroes. But he said
sailors would receive the same consid :
Grafton in his bill as soldiers.
