CRANCE no LIVE AND HOPE

North Carolina teachers, who have
drawn the wages or bod carriers and
less from time immemorial, have at
last reached the ear of the neWspa-
ners. No domestic subject in a long
time has called out expressions Ken
eral sympathy as the increased pay
of teachers.
Tn a statement issue last week Dr.
] Y. JOINER, State Superintendent,
issued a warning to the people n a
the schools are being fOrsaken and
that remunerative employment for
men and women are being found IN
other work for which the teachers are
fitted by discipline and study. THESE
drafts on the schools are being felC
when every school should be kept open
for the call from the commonwealth
for the rebuilding makes demand upon
the best citizenship that we have.
The cause was not mysterious.
North Carolina was paying her Wnlte
teachers only $293.62 annually, less
for a whole year than $500, or $zo a
month. While actually at work the
salaries of these teachers barely
amounted to $45. This applied more
e~specially to schools in the country
hut instances in abundance OF city
teachers, much better paid DOM IN
wage and in length of term, were
given showing that salaries are Deng
supplemented from home and the
barest living is made often lmposslple'
Herein is the serious aspect OF IN
adequate pay. 1t only takes the heart
from the teacher to face perpetual
debt and an old age of mend1cacy ana
bitterness, but lit threatens such
abandonment of the schools as NAV
result in their return to unframed
and idealless teachers who use them
for making pin money" before QUIT
ting them for more menlaI out more
profitable employment.
The perseverance of this unjust and
contradictory thing IN our advancing
civilization can be explained only by
the fact that North Carolina hasn't
taken it's educational obligations ser1-
ously. 1t has allowed to stay at the
foot of the list among those pad for
valuable services, those who are do
ing our most valuable service. There
has been registered a slight ADVANCE
in North Carolina and other States,
but it is little comfort to find North
Carolina in the same evil u as other
commonwealth.
The condition is nothing less than a
stigma upon our civilization which
demands strong men and women for
its best service, then gives to them
the smallest modicum of pay. There
is no way to right it but to join with
the teachers in their campaign sala-
ries in the hope of bringing them near
er the pay OF those who labor in the
most mental employment and those
who riot in less useful occupations

MADE IN.GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED in CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation &C.
cofding to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
: troller by the United States food adj
miniStration.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion Of soldiers.
"Stories without even a vestige Of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"NOr have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public indignation.
'They are insidious, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
'Tt lies with every individual to for
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean NOR than the majority Of
people yet realize"

MERCHANTS AT SEA ON
DELIVERY BUSINESS

The HendersonVille merchants are IN
a dilemma.
They are e~ndeavorng to adopt o.
servation methods but about every
merchant has a mind Of his W as
it applies to the peculiar features OF
his business, hence no universal plan
has been adopted.
The economical committee OF the
National Council of Defense is urging
fewer deliveries and a decrease or ex-
pense and the local merchants are
working to this end. Some favor elm
mating delivery altogether. Others ia
vor a price f. o. b. store and an add
tionaI price for deliveries, on a sliding
scale, the price to be governed by the
size of purchase and distance deliv-
cred. Some favor one delivery ON the
same route each day and others ia
vor two.
A meeting of merchants Monday az
ternoon resulted in the appointment
of a committee to feel the pulse OF
other merchants on the question of
a delivery fee or two deliveries free
each day.
The committee consists of Raymond
Edwards, w. H. Zimmerman and N,
M. HOllowell.

Early Hatched Chickens Stronger.

The early Matched chicken is not
only the chicken that lays the winter
egg, but it is the chicken best able to
withstand disease and parasites.
1t is in the midsummer months that
chickens are hurt most by lice. The
late Matched chicken has not had time
to become large or strong enough to
resist lice attacks, but the early hatch
ed chicken by midsummer has become
strong and hardy enough to do so.
And because the early development of
the early Matched bird has preceded
the extremely hot months, it is more
apt to live through the summer.-U,

UNWORTHY CLASS OF CITIZENS

Governor Beckett made a stirring
talk to the members of exemption
boards gathered in Raleigh Monday,
in which he declared that any man
who not willing to meet his whole re-
sponsibility in waging this war under
the recent calls of President Wilson
and to go to the front if called upon
to do So, has served his usefulness
and is unworthy of his people, his
state and his nation and the men who
would shirk their duty and stay at
home and live on their wives should
be rushed to the trenches by parcel

DAIRY COWS ON EVERY FARM

To have dairy COWS IS a part of the
equipment on every farm, enabling
tenants to become self-supporting
throughout the year and at the same
time maintain desirable soil conditions,
is a plan recommended by the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, among the
landowners of the South. The plan is
accompanied with an active campaign
for feed production; as a result a
marked increase in the acreage of
1egumes, particularly velvet beans and
peanuts, has been shown,
Every effort is being made by field
men of the department to aid in bring.
ing in a sufficient supply of good COWS
to establish dairying and to fix the
type of good cows in the minds
of the farmers. The readiness
of bankers to help finance the
purchase of dairy cattle is an in
Gication of how we'll established the

CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACY'SW
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
1 Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat Of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3,OOO,OOO,OOO bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials Of the
United States food administration be-
Iieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keen the body in a state Of health and
when used according to the scores OF
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
y dian warriors in colonial days lived on
marched corn alone for many days at a
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration OF
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been n to Europe.
Today there are approximately 80
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five BUSH
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American ~cOlOnistS from famine On
many occasions, just as it served as a
staple food during the War of the Rev
OlutiOn and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autOcracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed s in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
Iy-is gaining a greater popularity
than " before. Housewives are
coming to realize hat every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ-
ated in the wal.
There are a of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
,~granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn Oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filled by salad oils,
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ OF
the corn.

SAVE THE HENS.

Every pullet and young hen sold for
1000 this winter e a reduction of
from hVe to twelve dozen eggs in the
potential egg supply of next spring
and summer.
Hundreds of thousands of farmers
who have not raised poultry will do so
mex spring and summer-responding
to the demand for more chickens and
eggs so that beef and pork will be re-
leased to help win the war. They will
need young hens.
The United States Department of Ag-
r1culture urges the saving of fowls of
producing qualities, so that thew NAV
be used for stock in the early spring.

GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
 THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
 FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Save your hair; Double its beauty in a few minutes
 try this!

If you care for heavy hair. that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incOmparable soft ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine
 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it i'm mediately dissOlves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice. heavy. healthy hair if you have dandruff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and it's very life. and if not overcome it produces a feverishness ard itching of the scalp: the hair roots famish. loosen and die: then the hair tails out fast.
 If your hair has been neglected and is thin. faded. dry. scraggy or too oily. get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine at any drug store Or toilet counter; apply a little as directed and ten minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made.
 We sincerely believe. regardless Of everything else advertised, that if you desire soft. lustrous. beautiful hair and lots of it-nO dandruff-no itching scalp and no more falling hair-yOu must use Knowlton's Danderine. If eventually-why not now?
