News From The

Raleigh, April 24.-If the I'M
official reports from over the
State reaching here this week are
fairly indicative Of the real con
ditions, North Carolina is respon-
ding we'll to the urgent appeals
Of President Wilson and Cover
nor Beckett, and the t. S. and
State departments Of griculture
to largely increase the yield Of
food crops and live stock and cut
down the acreage III tobacco and
cotton this year
Secretary Mccullough, speak

thousand acres of the seven thou
sand acres, under cultivation at
the big state farm OH the Roanoke
river titled by convicts, will grow

acres will be planted III corn, 800
acres in wheat and the balance

Of course, sufficient quantity Of

Government Must Regulate
Prices
But the subject of most imme-
diate concern along this line IS
the militant and very positive de
mand now being made all over
this country that Congress shall
at once get throttle hold on the
heartless shylocks who BY specu-
lating in the Chicago wheat pits
and corn market are running the
nrices for the .'staff Of life 50
high that a flour famine IS al
ready threatencd-honr the same
-four that a few weeks ago sold
for nine dollars being held now
at nearly $i5 a barrel, with the
threat that it Will reach $50 per
barrel.
The growers who marketed the
wheat get none Of this lnhuman
profit. The wheat has been IN
the hands Of the spectators a
lone and there will be trouble II
the extOrtion goes on. Probably
some Of the men in Congress may
be justified Indirectly through
speculation to eXtort money from
our own people because of our
necessities.
The people Of the United States
will not stand for this sort Of
thing very long, when Congress
has the undoubted authority and
power to correct such a diaboli-
cal evil. 1t is worse than treas

''LTTTLE ITALY" RESPONDS.
Kenosha Italians Send More Than
$1,000 to the War Refugees of Italy
After Strenuous Campaign.

Thanks to the patriotism of the 1tal-
ians of Kenosha for their sunny Italy,
row partially devastated by The Prus-
sian hordes, ST 200 was cabled to Prime
Minister Orlando on Saturday to be
spent in alternating the suffering among
the refugees of northern ITALY. The
exact sum-11 900 liras or $1,279.15-
was all raised among the four thousand
inhabitants of "Little Italy" in Keno
sha and stands as a tribute to their
generosity and immediate response to
the call of humanity and freedom. The
money was procured in lightning cam
paign of two days among the Italians
of the city under the leadership of a
committee composed of DR.. G. A. Ger
mano, Louis Gentle and Gregory Mic
colatzo and it was largely due to their
efforts that the money was paid in so
quickly that it could be cabled Satur-
day, through the Lammachio Agency,
to the italian premier. Prominent in
the subscriptions were the gifts of the
various italian societies as follows:
st. Francis Society, 800; Society Carl
baldi, 800; Society San Mikele, $50,
and the Columbus Society, $25 The
italian White Club gave as individuals
and helped largely to swell the fund.
The donation will not at all interfere
with the Italian support to the Patriots
Fund. Tt is probable that further as
sistance for the distressed Italians will
be procured through the committee of
disbursement of the Patriots Fund but
the $1,000 already sent will go far to-
wards paying Kenosha's share of i'm
mediately alleviating the sufferings of
the peasants.

TIE WISE FOX
By Roma Truax

Once upon a time there was a fox
and a rabbit. The fox was an indus
trious and sensible fellow while the
rabbit was decidedly opposite in char
acter. While the fox was storing up
food for the coming winter days, the
rabbit spent most cf his time romping
with no thought Of the future.
ttOh why work so hard?' sneered
the rabbit, "the harvest is plentiful
you will not starve.'
fCome and help me-" said the fox,
$50 we may be comfortable for the
coming winter. y
ooh no! I'm not going to work, =
and he was off.
When winter came the fox was COM
Portable and had plenty to eat.
The rabbit found it rather hard to
get along for it was cold and he had no
food.
He came. to the fox one day and
asked him for something but the fox
gave him nothing.
"You would not help me store up the
food, so you will not get what I have
worked for"
Moral: Conservation is a wise policy.

word ne brought back memories of each

'sleep on my brothers, in the still

rest nor call disturb thy dream. Above
thy pulseless forms the lilies bloom
and in their chalices hold resurrect-

Thy work by willing hands is carried

Of storm, thy brothers, true to every

1.-TWO cultures are set over against
each other in this war, - declared Rev.
Theodore Faville in his sermon to his
congregation at the First Congrega-
tional Church on Sunday morning.
Insofar as we Americans are engag-
ed in it, it is the "kultur" of the
Kaiser against the culture Of President
Wilson, it is the "kultur" of German
Imperialism, German jingoism and
German militarism, which is now at the
helm Of the German state against the
culture of democracy" Following
this theme the Kenosha minister show
ed in detail the difference between the
blood-thirsty desires of German war
mad princes and the altruistic motives
which had led President Wilson and
America to enter the war. With tell
ing quotations from German philoso-
piers, statesmen and thinkers he re-
vealed the real nature of the menace
which now threatens civilization and
contrasted it with the spirit of
America, who desires to "vindicate y
by the sword "the principles of right
and JUSTICE
In his sermon of Sunday morning,
Rev. Faville urged that the principle
for which we are fighting abroad
should be applied more universally in
our own country. He urged every in
dividual, rich and poor alike, to prac-
tice the culture of democracy in home
relations between man and man. He
used the story Of Lazarus and the rich
man to illustrate the conditions which
in large manner exist in America to-
day and widen the breach between
capital and labor. Without defending
the unpatriotic action of the members
of the /. w. W., Rev. Faville con
demned the conditions which had made
their lives almost uncomfortable. The
capitalists who persist in their systems
of economic oppression were marked as
just as surely undemocratic as the war
lord of Prussia.
The great gulf between the pampered
rich and the poverty stricken poor
demands in America the immediate ap-
plication of the principles of democracy
which we are trying to enforce on
Europe. The patriotism of the poor
and even the members of the I. w. w.
would not be questioned if American
economic conditions should be so re-
arranged as to give them something
to be thankful for to their country.
Without condemnation of the wealthy
interests which are concerned in this
war, it was a forceful plea for the
thousands of 'FLazaruses of America. "
As a solution, the Rev. Faville sug-
gested the practicing of the doctrine
OF good will from the lowest to the
highest. Such plan would destroy
the bitterness which now exists and if
not quenched will some day burn up
the structure of our government with
its fury. In conclusion he held out
hope for the future of democracy at
home and abroad. "There will come
future day when the vision will come
true. He hath put down the princes
from their thrones and hath exalted
them of low degree. The hungry He
hath filed with good things and the
rich He hath sent empty away Wheth-
er that day is day of blood or a day
Of peace depends on you and me. "

are being well taken care of.

more Kenosha lads, all well known
among the younger people of the city,
left for the war today by the volun-
teec path. One of these, Harold
Tacki, the son of Mrs. Joseph Tack,
of Chicago street, went to Chicago
where he will begin training in the
aviation corps. He did net know to
which aviation camp he would be sent
by the authorities. The other volun-
teers have enlisted for service in the
truck department and hope to be sent
to Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indian },
where six other Kenoshans have been
for the last two months. All six had
high hopes that with a short period Of
training they will be able to do their
bit on air and land for Uncle Sam and
democracy. These with six others, who
enlisted through the post Office, will
place twelve more names on Kenosha s
list Of volunteers.
Six more Kenoshans chose the volun-
teer route to paths of glory in France
during the latter part of last week and
have already been sent on their way
to the training camps. Two of them,
Harold Rock and Arthur Bedore, were
accepted Saturday and were sent i'm
mediately to Jefferson Barracks. The
others are still in Milwaukee but will
be sent to different environments of the
army as soon as possible.
