STATE PATRIOTIC
FROM PEAKS TO SEA
GOVERNOR BECKETT SAYS DEVo.
TON OF MoUNrAINEERs Is
100 PER CENT PURE.
IN ADDRESS At SALISBURY
Chief Executive After Three Weeks
Stay in Mountains Returns to Of
flee in Raleigh.

alisbUry-Governor T. w. Beckett
made war speech in Salisbury. He
was heard by about 1000 people from
all sections of the country and his ad.
dress made a deep impression for
patriotism.
The speaking was in a large taber-
nacle and Mayor Walter H. Woodson
presided while Postmaster A. H. Boy.
den introduced the speaker. Patriotic
music was discoursed by a band. Tho
Governor was given a rousing well
come. This is his first visit to Sails
bury since becoming Governor.
Governor Beckett has just completed
a stay Of three weeks in the noun
tains rusticating and declared that he
is profoundly impressed with three
things: The grandure of the scenery
around Mount Mitchell, t1e vastness
OF the corn crops and the intensity OF
the patriotism of the mountaineers.
He asserted that in three weeks he
has not heard a word savoring of un-
patriotism and the devotion Of the
mountaineers is 100 per cent pure.
In discussing the war Governor
Beckett defended the draft as emin-
emily fair and businesslike. Saying
that "the time for debate has ended
and it is now a time to fight" he
branded as traitor and murderer
any man who says or does a thing to
weaken the cause of the United
States.
The only time the speaker referred
to politics was when he declared that
the fellow who squalls loudest about
equal rights takes to tall timber when
equal duty is mentioned. He brought
a sever arraignment of Germany as,
responsible for the war, and praised
Wilson for his calm, deliberate decla--
ration that the world must be made
''safe for Democracy" The Governor
declared he has been in every one Of
the counties in the state and there
is not a yellow streak to mar the
patriotism from the mountains to the
sea. Governor Beckett appeared at his
best. He wore a light summer suit.
straw hat and no suspenders and was
a fine mixer while here. In Salisbury
he was entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. R.N
L. Bernhard. Immediately after the
speaking he left by automobile for
BARRIERS to catch a western train.

quiet cOlors, are characteristic of the
season. Colors most popular are those
classed as "the fur colors" including
taupe, gray, brown castor, beige. Dark
wine and the shades of amethyst in
the richest tones relieve a range that
would otherwise be too grave. Dark
blue is good as always.
One of the new fall suits is shown
in the picture and is a model which
looks we'll in any of the popular wool
materials. The skirt has a panel with
two plaits at each side down the back,
which correspond to plaits in the coat.
1t is otherwise plain.
The coat is semi6tting with two
straps of the material across the back
at the Waistline. Below these is a
straight panel like that in the skirt.
A panel finished with three rows of
braid at the bottom is set in at eacn
side below long side body which
fastens over it with button.
The pointed muff1er collar is a new
development of this admirable and
popular style in collars. From every
standpoint this is a fine example
among Well-tailOred suits.

]. P. LUCus GETS. FOOD JOB
Arrives in Raleigh to Become Execu.
tive Secretary to State Food
Administrator Page.

| Raleigh-John Paul Lucas. OF
Charlotte, was named executive sec
rotary to Food Administrator Henry
Page and arrived in Raleigh Monday
morning to take up his new duties.
Mr.. Lucas, during the life of the North
Carolina food conservation commits
| sion, was executive secretary to that
organization and brings with him to
his new task an experience highly
valuable to Mr.. Page.
AS executive secretary to Mr.. Page
Mr.. Lucas will be charged with a re-
spOnsibility much greater than devolv.
ed upon him by reason of his connec-
ton with the food conservation com
mission but begins his work thor
ughly familiar with the North Caro-
lima situation. His activities during
the life of the commission won for
him commentator and praise
throughout the state and North Caro-
ina's food administrator feels elated
over his good fortune in securing Mr..
Lucas services.
Some plan, possibly one of state
wide registration, will be pursued
from Mr. Pages office to reach every
home in North Carolina and carry to
the homes the governments appeal
in the present crisis.
Mr.. Lucas was the retiring presi-
dent of the state farmers convention
that met here some time ago. He is
a former newspaper man and promi-
nently connected with the Charlotte
Chamber of Commerce. He was nam
ed executive secretary to the food
commission by Governor Beckett when
that body was formed last May, retir-
ing when it automatically expired
after making a splendid summer cam
paign for conservation.

Has Four Boys In Army.

Fayetteville.-When the West Point
graduation ceremonies came to close
another Fayetteville woman could say
that she had four boys in the active
service of the United States army.
DR.. and Mrs. J. W. Mcneil have three
sons and one grandson in the army
Norman McNeill, who received his
commission as a second lieutenant at
the hands of Secretary Baker at the
military academy recently; Kenneth
McNeill, corporal in company r,
second North Carolina infantry;
Lauchlin McNeill, private in company
A, North Carolina engineers, and
George Stancill, a private in company
r of the second regiment. The last
named is a grandson, but has always
lived with DR.. and Mrs. Mcneil and
the relation is practically that Of pa
rents and son. Young Stancill tried
to join the navy, but was too young.
Both he and Kenneth Mcneil are I'M
der draft age.

The performance Of the Canadian
soldiers in the great war will reflect
glory on their country and race, as
long as history lasts. But their rec
ord is matched by that Of the women
of Canada who have thrown them
selves heart and soul into war work of
all kinds. They have shown energy
and endurance and bravery equal to
that of their men. There is no calcu-
lating the value of the services they
have given and the sacrifices they
have made.
The same disposition to help shows
itself among women all over this cOun-
try. There are few among us so dense
as to fail to see that it is disgraceful
to be a Stacker in times like these.
The government cannot do all the
work that must be done for the SOL
diers and for those he leaves when
he goes out to war. The soldier must
be provided with clothing, socks, I'M
derwear shirts, sweaters, muff1ers and
mits, when on duty. These things wear
out and must be replaced. Hospitals
must be supplied with sleeping gar
ments, slippers, bandages, dressings,
and an endless stream of surgical sup
plies must flow into them, besides
sheets, pillow cases and other things
that are made by women. Comfort
kits are to be furnished for every
fighting man, and every one is entitled
TO messages from someone back home,
whether he has relatives and friends
there or not.
Prisoners and the men in hospitals
are to@be remembered with letters and
provisions, when possible. And be-
sides all this, for the soldiers, there
is the work of looking after the well
fare of the poorer families left at
home.
All these things require the vOlun-
teer work of women, money and more
money. Women are showing them
selves equal to the task set them. The
thing for each one to do is to decide
what part of the service she will enter.
and to enlist in that and serve as long
as she is needed. Social distinctions

Batik work, which first made a gen.

use in the future. Various fabrics are

produces such unusual and interest

not unusual form of trimming on aft

State is Best Hog Market.

North Carolina farmers have a bet
ter market for hogs than the farmers
of the Central West have" This strik-
ing declaration was made by Mr.. l..
w. Shook, of Edgecombe county, who
was in attendance at the State Farm
ers' Convention. Mr.. Shook ought to
know what he is talking about be-
cause he raises and sells several car
loads of hogs every year. The Rich
mond and Baltimore markets pay soc.
to 75c. per hundred pounds more for
hogs than the Chicago markets, &C.
cording to Mr.. Shocks observation.
It will surprise most North Carolina
people to know that farmers of Edge
combe county have shipped during the
last twelve months twenty carloads of
hogs. A carload of hogs, geenrally 80
to 100 head, at present prices is worth
from $4,000 to $4,000, depending upon
the weights of the animals. The
twenty carloads shipped by Edge
combe farmers were sold at an aver
age of Is or Ice. a pound, netting the
farmers of the county approximately
$50 900. It is the opinion of live stock
men that IL WILL De d AOuS CAAS OO-
fore the price of hogs drops much
below the present level of $40 hun
dred.
North Carolina farmers are prepar-
ing to take advantage of the high
price of hogs by largely increasing the
number of hogs produced upon their
farms, old breeders enlarging their
herds and farmers who heretofore
have paid little or no attention to hog
raising establishing herds. Agr1cul-
tural and livestock exports, however,
are warning both classes OF breeders
to plant for their hogs forage crops
which may be planted at this time
and grazed during the winter and
spring.
Crons suitable for this purpose are
rape clover, vetch, and rye and other
small grains The profits that may
he derived from hogs are great where
thew are raised largely on pasturage'
but it has been demonstrated that
hogs cannot be profitably raised by
the lot method.
