REORGANIZATION
WILL BE PRESSED
Campaign to Inspire Genuine
Allegiance and Teach Lam
guage to Immigrant.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-war
Americanization is a significant fea-
ture Of the third America First
campaign announced today Dy the
department Of the interior, bureau
Of education. This unique plan is al
ready being worked out in New
York city by an official Of the nation
al committee of 100, which is as
sociated with the bureau as advis-
DRY council on Americanization. In
that city the appeal for war Ameri-
canization met with such an en-
thusiastic response that upon the
suggestion OF the mayors defense
committee. the board of education
appropriated $4,000 to carry out the
plan.
The national scheme has been in
process of formulation for several
months and has been carefully
worked out in consultation with fed
eral officials, Representative Of ma
tional organizations and school au-
thorities. Details will be announced
in a few days.
The aim of the third campaign
will be directed toward stimulating
the acquisition Of the English Ian
guage by all immigrants, and toward
inspiring a genuine allegiance 20 the
United States on the part of all citi-
zens. The bureau will again be as
sisted in the campaign by the ma
tional committee of 100. appointed
last year by the commissioner Of
education TO assist bureau officials
in all matters pertaining TO Ameri-
caniZatiOn. To render effective aid,
the committee has opened headquar-
tiers in Washington from which il is
esta blishing contact with national
organizations and officials. Already.
leading cham bers of commerce, sew
eral large cities. and a number Of
patriotic and fraternal organizations,
representing several million mem
bers. are negotiating with the bureau
for the purpose of entering into
the campaign according to speci-
fications outlined in official circu-
lars.
Ofcial records show that approx
imately 100000 foreign born
whites residing in the United states
do not speak English. Only a small
number of these have attended even
ing school 10 learn the language in
dispensible TO employment, business
and social relations in this country.
Concerted effort will be put forth TO
induce these immigrants TO learn
English and acquire a knowledge Of
the government, institutions and
ideals of the United States. Ameri-
cas- part in the war and the obliga-
tons of an immigrant TO the coun-
try during the war, officials Of the
bureau believe. should be made clear
TO all those attending evening school.
To give this information, will be an
important phase of the war Ameri-
caniZation plan.

Everywhere Hudson holds the record

pressed by what people say in praise Of
the Hudson Super-Sx. Best Of all, YOU
are assured that the Super-Sx stands pun

never compare the Super-Six with cars
sold at or near its price. 1t has always

You will want a Super-Six eventually.

The private soldier who is thus
honored is Adam Linard. "a years

WESTERN GRAIN A
TRAFFIC PROBLEM
Transportation of Soldiers
Complexities Matter-Urge
Intensive Loads.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-How to
handle the western grain crops
promptly. when they haven't
enough cars for other freight traf-
fic 10 be moved is a problem that
is worrying operating officials of
the railroads.
The problem is complicated by
the fact that during the next six
weeks. when the grain movement
will be at its height, the railroads
will be obliged to run a large num-
Der of special passenger trains to
carry over $50 900 men drafted for
the new army to the various
environments in the United States.
According 10 latest estimates, the
crops this year will be, in bushels:
Wheat, $50, 600, 600; corn $780, 900,
600; oats. $4,000. 900; barley,
eos, 100000; rye. 100000; total.
all cereals, $3.50, OOO,O bushels.
This will be an increase of $780,
100000 bushels over the yield in
1916
The average actual loading Of
the cars moving last years grain
crop was: w at, 10000
pounds; corn, 1880 pounds; oats.
81. 900 pounds; rye, $4,000 pounds;
barley, 10000 pounds.
on the same basis of loading, if
all the grain grown were shipped,
to move this years crops would
require: For wheat, $50, 600 cars;
for corn, 2,S57,143 cars; for oats.
1853. 500 cars; for rye, 81, S11 cars;
for barley, 1866 cars. Total for
all cereals, 4,161,170 cars.
It is needless TO say that not all
Of the grain grown will be ship
ped from the farms. but the facili-
ties Of the railroads will be taxed
TO the utmost TO handle what is
shipped. In addition to the great
volume Of government business and
the heaviest commercial traffic ever
known.
The railroads cannot meet the eX-
traordinary demands upon them
unless every shipper loads cars
promptly and 10 the heaviest weight
possible. and every consignee IN
loads cars with the least possible
delay.
Assuming that all the grain this
year will be shipped. an increase Of
only 10 percent over the average
car loading last year would effect
a total saving of 416,117 carloads
In other words. il would add 49,
.117 to the number of freight cars
available for service during the
year. The total number of all kinds
of freight cars owned by the rail-
roads is only 100000, and only a
fraction Of them are available for
grain traffic.
Recognizing the necessity OF
heavier loading cars this year than
ever before, the boards Of trade and
gram exchanges throughout the
country. from St Paul to Boston,
are urging grain buyers 70 place
their orders for maximum car
loads. instead Of minimum carloads,
as I'm former years. These organiza-
tons are also emphasizing the nee
essitv for more prompt loading and
unloading of cars by shippers and
consignees Intensive loading or
cars is also urged upon all farm
ers.

Rate System Breaks Down.
The breaking down Of the old

gave the river towns preferential
rates. with constant distress 10 the
boats, has begun. the factor of COM

fed by the altered relationship com
U-rCe bears 20 transportation.

ing increasing difficulty in protect

rates from successful attack.
Potential navigation seems no
longer sufficient. and boats operated
solely To give some community the

boats merely as club on rates

Get Your Hudson Super Six
Now While You Can
Present Prices Can Not Last Long
81 Cars Haze Already Advanced

From the standpoint of real value, the
Hudson Super-Six is the lowest-priced car
on the market
Recent price advances on 81 cars have
entirely upset the usual standards by which
motor car values have been determined
In each price group cars naturally found
their own place But now, because some
makers must supply their material wants
in the present high market and because
Hudson has limited supply bought last
year, the selling prices of cars do not indi-
cate their values.
Those companies which faced the ne
cessity of buying materials in the high
market had to advance their prices in
proportion. 1t added as much as 500 to
500 to the retail price of cars. 1t forced
former 200 and 81, 400 cars up to ap-
proximately the price of Hudson Super
Six.
Hudson prices for the time being re-
main unchanged. Judged by todays ma
terial market the Super-Six would have to
sell at approximately $4,000. Today YOU

In Regard to Parkton Man Reported
Wounded and Missing

In Thursdays Robesonian was
printed dispatch to the effect that
a Robson county man, C. H., Marsh,
who had been with the Canadian
troops in France,was reported wound
ed and missing. The following from
the Fayetteville Observer of the LIST
in this connection will be of interest
to Robesonian readers:
Mr.. Dan Marsh of Parkton, who
was in Fayetteville yesterday, re-
ceived telegram from the War De-
partment of Canada, stating that his
son, Charles Henry Marsh, was among
the wounded and missing at the bat
tie front in France.
Mr. Marsh, who had been serving
in the United States army for about
three, years, enlisted in one of the
Canadian regiments about ten months
ago and left for the battlefields of
France soon after. 1t is supposed he
fell fighting with the Canadian troops
in the fierce battles around Vimy
Ridge, which was finally captured by
the Canadian forces, with whom no
doubt many Americans were fight
ing.
This is the first news Mr.. Marsh
had Of his son since leaving for
France, and he is naturally much
concerned over his fate, as to which
he is seeking further particulars.
