vertlsements must be handled in
the order in which they are receiv-

hours Immediately before time to
go to press it is impossible to
handle them satisfactorily and
sometimes impossible to get all of
them in type in time. We make
every effort to give the best SER

insertion of advertisements that are
not handed in before the day of
publication. Always in the last
hours before going to press there
is rush of news matter that can
not be gotten earlier and there is
a limit to the amount of copy we
can handle on publication day. By
remembering this and turning in

Bull Ding MORALE
OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work OF Jewish Welfare Board Pro-
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale ameng
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than By the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-
gagged In its task Of keeping up the
lines of communication between tho
Jewish men in the trenches and
training CAMPS and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle Of
morale against "kultur" the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organiza-
ton is making its chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral hbre
among the soldiers OF the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers IL urgent
and rabbis, professional men. Journal
lists, social workers and others are

Welfare Board to make up the 400

WHEAT ACREAGE
Food Administration and Agricultural
Authorities Urging Greater Pro-
duction-No Restrictions on Seed
Wheat.

Raleigh.-The Food Administration
and the state and national agricul-
tural authorities are mbining in a
drive to increase the wAeat acreage
in North Carolina this fall There was
a very considerable increase in wheat
acreage in this state last fall but it Is
expected that the response of patri-
otic farmers of the state this year
will be greater than ever It is
well.known fact that wheat growers In
North Carolina received last year and
are this year receiving a higher
price than the wheat growers OF any
! other state in the Union, the average
price for wheat in the state at this
time being probably above $235 per
bushel, notwithstanding the poor
grades.
| The Food Administration and the
Bureau Of Markets have interested
themselves in locating seed wheat,
and the Food Administration in addi-
tion has suggested to the flour mills OF
the state that they give the growers
in their immediate territory assist.
| duCo III lOCdIluS anu financing Qur-
chases of seed wheat
The Food Administration has an.
nounced to farmers having sound,
plump seed wheat that there are no
restrictions regarding the sale Of such
wheat for planting purposes, either
as to purchaser or price
One factor that promises to in.
fuence an increased acreage o.
wheat is the policy of the Food Ad
ministration in giving preferential
treatment with regard to flour con
sumption to wheat growers Whea
producers are allowed to have thei
entire seasons supply Of -four grount
at one time and are allowed to figure
their requirements on the basis o
IL pounds per person per month
whereas the voluntary rationing sya
tenn for non-producers OF wheat il

tire time not a single shell fell near them.
 Within the next 24 hours they , brought the gun to the assigned place and set it up.
 Tough Luck
 And then," said Sergt P--, we had our first piece of rotten luck. We had cleaned her all up, and she was oiled and polished and bright as a new quarter. And then, all of a sud den, there comes a shell slap into a pool of mud , yards away It didn't do a thing to our gun but cover it all up with mud so. you couldn't hardly tell what it was. Of course. We had to go to work and clean itfall up again"
 The battery was out at this post 15 days. They exchanged daily compli- ments with Fritz, and for every shell that came whizzing over from the German line, they sent back three. It was reported from the observation dugOut that whenever the Americans opened fire the Germans ducked and ran for cover. Up to the 18th day there was not casualty in the Ameri- can battery.
 On their last day. just before they were to be relieved, high-eXplosive shell came sailing over the ploughed up land and dropped right among them
 There was two killed and five of us wounded" Sergt P- explained, 'I got mine in the leg, and it was a nasty one. But l was treated fine. Within a few hours after I got hurt I was on the operating table. The wound was infected bad, just like all the shell wounds are. They flushed it out with Dakin's solution. and they kept that up until there wasn't any infection left. The queer thing about that stuff is that it never hurts a bit when it touches wounded flesh. It's cnly when it gets on sound flesh that you can feel it.
 "They kept me over there until 1 was well enough to send home, and now I'm here, waiting while they fit me with a new peg. Some day l ex- pect I'll be walking around almost as good as if had a regular foot"
 At this moment mess call sounded, and the men filed out on the porch to "chow" Some walked upright, a few were on crutches, and one walked with a limp. Among them 1 discerned my first informant, walking cheerfully along, swinging his stump of an arm. 'As I looked at him, I felt and under stood what he had meant by saying that half of the American people do not know that We are at war. Nothing but first-hand contact with the casual ties will ever make us appreciate the actual horror of war. Nothing else will impress on us the vital need of fighting this to a finish so that anoth- CT war will be an impossibility.
