on the other Allies and would still leave
the prices considerably under those
prevailing in London, Paris and Rome.
The sugar committee of the food ad.
minstration has succeeded perfectly
in stahiIiziug prices but is now con,
frontcd with the necessity of keeping
production up to the maximum and in
this direction it has as yet done little.
There has been objection to raising the
retail price but Chairman Rolph of the
sugar committee has admitted that
steps to keep mp production are now
needed and has indicated for months
past that a raise in Wholesale and re
tail prices, following an increase in the
prices for raw, was inevitable.

The early cultivation of that crop
has not been affected by labor shortage
though it is now feeling this and will
continue to until it is harvested next
winter and summer. Neither has that
crop been in any important way affect
ed by the shortage of nitrates. 1t may
show some loss for lack of fertilizer
later, however. Hence there will not
be, judging from present indications,
an alarming falling off in the 1919
crop. A lack of information on what
labor can be hoped for is sure to make
it difficult for the, plantation managers
to make preliminary estimates this year
and it is to be expected that extreme
conservatism will be shown in the first
estimates, issued around December.
Falling of Sure

be so serious as has been feared al

SAVE MATERIALS FOR
MAKING GAS MASKS
Boys and Girls Can Render a Very
Rea! Service in Winning the War.
To the School Boys and School Girls
of North Carolina:

To the School Boys and School Girls
of North Carolina:
Citizens of North Carolina, in COM
mon with other Americans, are called
upon to engage in the merciful work
of providing material for the manu-
facture of gas-mask carbon. You can
help, and you will.
The indecent and cruel introduction
Of poison gas into warfare-by the
Germany enemy, not by ourselves or
our Allies-makes it necessary for
every soldier at the front to carry a
gas mask for instant use. Otherwise
there is imminent danger of protract-
ed suffering or a horrible death.
The carbon must be of the first
quality. The materials needed for the
manufacture Of gas-mask carbon are
as follows: Peach and apricot stones,
date seeds, prune and olive seeds,
cherry pits (if native), plum pits. and
the shells of brazil nuts, hickorynuts,
walnuts, and butternuts. It is not nee
essary to extract the kernels from
peach stones or other fruit seeds.
These materials may be new or old
(not decayed). In all cases they must
be dry. The various kinds of mater
lal need not be kept separate, DuJ
must be dry. Ii they are not dry to-
day, you have only to put the sun to
work on them.
1t is suggested (D that you search
your homes and premises for last
years hickorynuts, walnuts, dry peach
stones, and other gas-defense mater
ials; (2) that you promptly and regu-
larly save such material whenever
fruits and nuts are used; (3) that you
organize parties to gather this years
crop of nuts and keep record Of the
amounts collected. Begin at once an
honorable rivalry in this patriotic
work. You will not allow German gas
to stop your soldiers; you will not
even keep the army waiting. A large
supply is needed at once.
The shipment of the materials has
been put in charge Of the Red Cross,
which already has facilities for the
handling of supplies. Collection Of
the material is entrusted to you in
the belief that you will be glad to
help. You can be gas-defense SOL
diers even without uniforms or Off

THE POOREST PEOPLE
AFTER THE WAR
Those Who Bought No Securities Nor
Did Anything to Win the War.

Winston-Salem, Oct. 1.-THE poorest
of poor people after the war will be
those who will not only have nothing
coming to them from the Gvernment,
by way of redeeming War Savings
certificates and receiving pay for Lib
erty bonds, but who will have also no
record of any service rendered the
country towardthe winning of the
war. There are going to be such peo-
pie, many Of them, who made money
fast as they made it satisfying their
sands intended, however, to invest a
securities, such as War Savings
stamps and Liberty bonds, but neg
lected doing so till their own desires
were gratified. Finally the war ended
and the Government withdrew it's Of
fers Of war loan securities, leaving
these people with nothing to meet
hard times after the war, except a
record of disgrace to themselves and
to their posterity.
The Government has foreseen the
hard times that are coming and has
provided protection against them. It
has offered the people its best securi-
ties in the form of War Savings
stamps and Liberty bonds which they
can buy with daily and weekly say.
ings. It foresaw also scarce labor
high wages, and much money in the
hands of the people. 1t offered them
the means of saving some of their
earnings while money was plentiful
It also offered them way to render
their country service, which was tbs
most valuable they could render or
this side of the battlefield in France
Many are letting both opportunities
escape. The Government is going tt
withdraw it's offers Of war loan securi
ties as soon as the war ends. Lacl
of foresight and patriotism is going tx
make them the poorest of poor peo
pie after the war.
