CHANCE TO MAKE
GOOD CROP OF CORN

Among the cases that have been
brought to the attention of the
farm labor committee is one involv-
ing 40 acres OF corn and cotton that
has been planted and sufficiently
worked to be brought TO 4 good
stand. but now is in a neglected
condition. The man VINO started
this crop has abandoned it and will
probably release in writing ali mis-
rights to the crop. The place is
south of Wilson and near the Love
county line. On the place there are
sufficient tools and work stool; to
make the crop. If the crop is not
made the food supply of she United
States will be just that much short.
The labor committee is anxious to
secure the services of a competent
man to handle this case. and it can
be handled on a basis on which the
man undertaking it will be fairly
compensated for his services.
The owner OF the land will donate
the rents 10 the Red Cross pro-
vided the man working the land viii
donate an equal amount of the
crop.

The formation of the Bohemian
regiment gives definiteness to the
recent congress held in Rome of
representatives of the various Slav
elements which seek to throw off
the Austrian yoke-Scrbs. Croats,
Slovenes, Czech SlovakS and Poles.
The Serbs, Croats and Sloyenes
have an independent national or
ganization known as the IugoSlavs,
while the Czech-Slovaks and Poles,
the northern Slavs, also are work
ing toward independence. All are
bound together by the bond OF
Slav sympathy and are animated by
the aspiration TO throw off the ty-
ranny OF Austria.
In addition to bringing all the
Slav elements into accord, the meet
ings in Rome have brought the
JugoSlavS and Bohemians into clio
ser accord with the allies. The
close relations established between
Italy and the Jugo-Slavs are Of es-
pecial importance to the harmony
OF the allied cause. for together the

Italy predominates on the west
and her aspirations extend to be-

extensive Slav frontage on the east

complete harmony. with Italy and
the allied cause.
Albania was the only one of the
Adriatic communities not repre-
sented at the recent congress. The
Albanians are not Slavs; they are
an ancient race with 4 language OF
their own. An Italian army now
sustains the burden OF holding back
the Austrians in Albania, and the
Italian government. by road ard
bridge building and other public
works, is doing much to open Al
