A number of experiments have
shown that the dressed weight Of hogs
is on an average of 1914 per cent
tasted live weight.
When hogs are fed corn or other
concentrated fat-producing feeds the
dressed weight may be so per cent OF
the live weight. On this estimate the
blood constitutes % to per cent OF
the live weight; the liver, 1.3 to 1.5

In no other way except by the use Of
a marker. In drawing the first line
the ground should be squared up &C

marks as well, setting 1t exactly 16
inches from the last mark.

The literary address delivered by
Prof r.. E. Sentelle, superintendent
of the Lumberton schools, to an ap-
preciative audience at Red Oak farm
life high school on April 30th, was
gem in thought, lucid in argument
ard replete with oratory. The speak
cr held the closest attention of his
hearers. while he spoke of "Some Les
sons from the War;" The following
were very forcibly discussed and en-
larged upon:
Our relations are worldwide. In
Independence of nations >;emand that
worldwide laws be maintained. The
United States has worldwide rights
based upon such laws. These have
Keen violated.
Germany has the invasive spirit.
, Belgium and France have been invad-
ed. Germany is now looking with
lustful eyes toward America. Amer
lcan democracy must be made safe.
ard thereby place liberty, justice, and
self-government within reach Of the
people of the whole world
In times of war, our fredeom is
more clearly defined. 1t is our duty
now to fight, to produce, to conserve,
to obey Government orders It is
better for individuals to die honorably
than for the spirit of liberty to per-
ish from the earth.
Republics must be saved. Russia
torn and bleeding, must be muolded
into democracy. We must not for
get our Indebtedness to the "mother
country" We must be faithful to
j France because of her aid to us in
the Revolution. Belgium, outraged
must be restored. 1t is the duty OF
the United States Government to oD.
pose with all her resources any viola
tion of Right.
Although peace-loving nation, we
were forced to enter the "Big Fig hit. ,
We could have obeyed Germany's or.
ders, but it would have meant sub.
lection to foreign foe.

MENACE TO HEALTH
IN SODA FOUNTAINS
Spread


Through the Use of the Soda Foun-
tain Glass That is Not Cleaned.
State Board of Health Bulletin.
The common drinking cup on the
trains has gone, never to return, but
the common drinking glass remains
in most of the soda fountains in
North Carolina as constant menace
to the health of each community. AS
the warm days of summer come the
soda fountains will be patronized by
an increasingly larger number Of peo-
pie, and with proportionately in
creasing menace to the public health.
An examination under the micro
scope of one carelessly washed soda
water glass has shown in the invisi-
BILE coating which covered it both in
side and outside more than 10000
human cells and bits Of skin. Cling
ing to single one of these cells there
were counted $50 germs. The total
germ population of the glass was es-
timated at 100000, representing a
dozen serious diseases.
The glasses at the average soda
fountain do not receive a real clean
ing. They are given a click and a
promise" Yet the fountains serve in
discriminatory all who stand before
them, and the same glass passes from
lip to lip throughout the day. Tu-
berculosis, diphtheria, whooping
cough, venereal diseases, infantile
paralysis, and many other communi
cable diseases can easily be spread
through this medium.
The soda fountains in and near the
training camps have been placed un-
der the strictest sort of regulations
| for the protection Of the health OF
the soldiers in training. Strict rules
provide for the sterilization of the
! glasses, or, in lieu of sterilization
the provision of individual paper con-
tainers. Either method is safe are
inexpensive
The leading fountains in several
of the cities of North Carolina have
adopted the individual paper contain.
er. All will do so, or else provide q
method Of sterilization, when then
patrons demand it.

THE CRY OF THE WOMEN.

A war correspondent describing the
capture of 700 Germans by Belgian
troops in an attack made last week on
the sector held by the latter relates an
exceedingly suggestive incident. The
Germans were rather glad to be cap
tured, it is said, but as they were
marched through village in the rear
between lines Of Belgian women they
lost their self-confident air and quail

finite hate and scorn that came from
the women spectators.
This cry of suppressed fury, of fury
that will patiently bide it's time, but
which will never renounce it's ven
geance, is we'll calculated to strike
terror into the German heart. It is
a more dreadful sound than that of
machine gun or heavy artillery. 1t

Hupp Motor Car Corporation

With freight equipment scarce, and
with every one determined to give

on our railroads, automobile drive
aways are the rule instead of the ex-
ception. Not only are these drive
aways being conducted by groups of
dealers but prospective owners find
it pleasant to make up a party and
come to Detroit and drive away their
own cars. 1t would seem timely,
then, to give a few simple instruc-
tons to these amateur pilots, soma
