ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea Of the quantity Of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July i, 1914, to
January 1, 1913, Is given by figures
Just announced by the o. s. Food Adj
m~inistratiOn. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly ratons for 57,100,93S people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for 22,1o4,57O additional men.
The total export Of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3~S4,000,O00 bushels.
Pork exports for the 3h years amount
ed to almost 2,OOO,O0O,O00 pounds. Ex-
ports Of fresh beef totaled 443,494,4O0
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that SEM to the western allies.

FEDERAL CHILD LABOR LAW.

The United States Supreme court
has. by a vote of five to four, sus-
tanned the decision of Judge Boyd
declaring the Federal child labor law
unconstitutional and the long contro-
versy between manufacturers and
the opponents of child labor ends in
a legal victory for the former.
Under the Federal law, which
passed both branches of the congress
BY an overwhelming majority, no
child under fourteen years of age
was permitted employment in any
factory, mill, workshop or cannery,
whose products were shipped in in
terstate commerce., and no child I'M
der sixteen years of age was allowed
employment in any mine or quarry.
Nor were children under sixteen
years of age permitted to work long
err than eight hours per day.
The Supreme court decides that
the regulation of shipments in inter
state commerce of articles produced
by the labor of small children is a
matter over which congress has no
supervision and consigns the child
labor law to the scrap heap. So
those who profit by the efforts of
small children may now proceed with
the grinding of '%the seed corn"
The decision of the Supreme court
in this case appears inconsistent
with its findings touching the Webb
Kenyon prohibition law, the Mann
White Slave act and the Adamson
Eight-hour law, the provisions of
neither of these having been found
in conflict with the constitution of
the United States. Practically the
same issue was involved in appeals
which brought these cases before the
court as the one upon which the ma
jority opinion was based in render
ing the child labor law imperative.
But the justices did not then exalt
the question of states rights above
the rights of society to handle social
problems. If the court was right in
those decisions, how a it oe right
in this one?

THRIFT WEEK FOR PATRIOTS.

President Wilson appeals to every
man., woman and child in the coun-
try to pledge themselves on or before
June 28th to save constantly and buy
War Savings stamps literally and
designates the week beginning June
22 as National "War Savings Pledge
Week"
During this period the President
would have every class and condition
of men, women and children enlist
in the movement and suggests that
not a single living person throughout
this broad land of ours shall fail to
register upon this honor roll of the
republic. In harmony with the proc
lamation of the president, Governor
Thomas W. Brickett chimes in with
one of the strongest appeals that has
yet emanated from his fertile brain
and facile pen calling upon the peO-
pie of North Carolina to unite whole
h~eartedly in a determined effort to
secure the forty-eight million dollars
this state is asked to pledge in Thrift
stamps and War Savings certificates.
The movement is two-fold in pur-
pose. First, it will aid in providing
the sinews of war, without which the

cute successfully its plans for reach
ing the point of 100 per cent eff

and navy. Second, the appeal is ex-
pected to induce the people to Join
in a national concerted thrift move
ment by saving for themselves and
storing up capital with which to con-
duct the business Of the country at
ter the war Is over.
The appeals leave no loop-hole Of
escape to anyone. Every citizen is
to be given an opportunity to show
whether he is a Stacker or a patriot.
A house to house canvass is to be
made so that every living patriot in
this Gland of the Free and Home of
the Brave" may be left without a
reasonable excuse for not doing his
best. No n is asked to give, but

eminent. The people everywhere

DOUBLE EFFECT OF ECONOMY.
nA!E AG -


When an American citizen, instead
of spending 800 for something he
wants, denies himself and lends the
money to the government he per-
forms a double service.
First, he furnishes the government
with 800 to use in the prosecution
o fthe
Scond, he has relieved to the ex-
tent of 500 the drain on our goods
and services;" that is, materials and
labor. To make the article or articles
he would have bought, or to manu-
facture others to take their place in
the market, would require materials
and labor. In addition, to get the
article to him labor and freight space
would be required. By doing with
out the article, he has left free a GER
tain amount of material to be used
for. war purposes, a certain amount
of labor to be used in the same way,
and he has also relieved to a certain
extent the transportation facilities of
the country.
This may not be much in the indi-
vidual case, but when hundreds of
thousands and millions of Americans
pursue this course it means millions
and millions Of dollars loaned the
Government +TapoondoTS ouop+i+ioS
of materials left for uses of the ma
ton in this war, millions of hours of
labor free to do war work, and a
vast amount of freight space free for
national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make;
are small and trivial compared to the
sacrifices that our soldiers and sailors
make daily while they offer constant
ly their lives for their country, the
greatest sacrifice of all:

the government by obligating them
selves to increase the production IN
the fields and factories, to conserve
food and fuel, and eliminate non-es-
sentiaIs in the conduct of home and
community institutions; to devote
their labor only to the most neces-
sary tasks and use exclusively those
things absolutely essential TO lnol-
vidual health and efficiency.
All n~atriots, who understand the
plans and purposes of this THRIFT
movement, will respond to the call
gladly and invest literally In Savings
stamps as an evidence of their 10y
altv to home and country.
Some folks may be getting tired OF
hearing war speeches and appeals or
the government for funds with which
to carry out its plans for bringing
victory to the self-governlng peoples
engaged in the worldwide struggle
for liberty. Some may be gettIng
impatient with appeals from n Red
Cross and the Young Mems Chris
tian association, which r doing so
much for the relief of III soldiers
in training camps and on Cne OaCCle-
fields. To these we would suggest
that the brave boys who are night
ing for home and country may be
getting tired too. 1t is for them that
the folks at home are asked to sacrl-
flee by giving until it hurts. The
bows who remain constantly on
guard day and night to prevent the
passing of the Hun are the folks the
American people are asked to sup
port by the purchase of Thrift
stamps and war Savings certificates.
It is for the soldier boys who labor
long hours in the very jaws of death,
day in and day out, that those en-
joying the comforts of home and
country are asked to pledge their
support in the approaching drive for
the sale of savings stamps. And all
r~ed-blooded Americans will respond.

The a~ll-absorbing question before
the American people today is "when
will the war end?" We shall not at
tempt to predict any definite length
of time for the continuation of the
momentous struggle, for we cannot
say just when this great country of
urs is going to throw the full weight
of it's financial strength and it's man
power into the conflict. But it is a
safe bet that the end will come soon
after that is done. So long as there
are slacker-men and slacker-dollars
in the land we may expect the war to
continue. 1t will be necessary to
employ every resource of the govern
ment of the United States in order
to assure victory for the Allies and
the American people may as we'll
realize right now that there is no
room for a Stacker of any class or
kind in this country.

The republicans are. quietly pass
ing the word along that they actual
ly expect to carry the state this year
and capture the legislature. They
have a habit of indulging in this kind
of talk every two years and there is
no disposition or the part of the
democrats to deprive them of the
privilege of making claims. This
year the dominant party in the state
is ~engrossed with the work of. help
ing the government win the war and
politics will be made a secondary
consideration. If the republicans
take advantage of the situation and
make a vigorous fight developments
might become interesting. The dem
Ocrats had a close call in the Tenth
Congressional district at the last
election, IN account of the absence
of soldiers called to service on the
Mexican border, and should profit by
tthfS experience. The movements of
republicans should be closely observ-
ed and fanked at every turn of the
way. Let the slogan be "America
First" and a democratic victory in
North Carolina second. Take no
chances.

THE STACKER

TILE SLACAER
Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment
toward the Stacker is crystalizing and the fine finger of
scorn and contempt is searching him out.
There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some
Of them: MISUNDERSTANDING n @sS+Na&Hgs }4~u
The service slacker-the man who should be in the
ranks and is not.
The labor slacker-the man who is able to work and
doesn't.
The food slacker-the male or female hog who refuses
to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our
Allies for those foodstuffs which may be exported.
The financial slacker-the individual who can but does
not buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps.
American boys in France.
Stacking in, America means starvation for innocent
women and children in England, France and Italy.
SlacklGg at home is a menace to the success of the
American, British and French arms in France.
THE SLACKER'S REWARD
The intelligent, observant, patriotic people Of America
will not forgive stacking.
The Stacker is a marked man. Not only during the
war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come
in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent
citizens.
After the war is over he will be an object of contempt.
He will be without the regard of decent people in his
community. His children and his children's children
after him will pay a bitter price for his disloyalty-For
his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by
humanity.
MEMORABLE fate is setting him apart and he will not
escape.

EARLY MATCHING IS DESIRED
1t will Increase Number and Size of Fowls and to Farmer It Means
 Much Larger Profits.

Prepared by the United Ssates Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 To the country at large early hatch ing by every chicken raiser means much. Early matching will increase the number and size of fowls and the number of eggs produced next year It will mean bigger birds and birds that will lay in the winter months. To the individual farmer 1t means more profit. He will get more chickens, as a larger proportion will live; he will get more actual meat, not only be- cause more will live but because his chickens will be larger; and he will get more eggs, when eggs are scarce, for early matched bullets will lay in the winter.
 The recognized importance of food in the greatest war makes 1t seem that the hen must take her place among those who are helping to win 1t for the forces of democracy. This place will be an important one in proportion to the response this year to the call for increase chicken and egg production. The hen, of course, always has shown q willingness to do her duty, and doubtless she is willing now. All that is to be done is for her masters, the farmers of the nation and the city dwellers who are helping on back yard scale, to make sure that the hens opportunity will not be neglected

Always Possibility of Recrudescenee of Ghenols Khan In Mysterious
 Land of Northern China.

The wayfarer in China who turns south to Anglicized Hongkong. multi tudinous Canton, or that vivid hybrid of East and West, Shanghai, fails even to brush the strangest and most an- cient mystery of the dragon kingdom. That mystery lies in North China, an immemorial mystery that wraps Pe- king like an imperial mantle, a somber northern inscrutibility that enfoids the great wall as impenetrably as the mists obscuring its turrets, says Asia. It is a mystery so invincible, that once in mans blood, there Is little choice left behind him but to follow its lure on and on seeking its source in that hinterland still farther to the north. From the great wall one can gaze far over this unknown land rushing swift ly away to the north, not days, but months, by caravan. Once yellow armies flooded across 1t as the sun- shine floods acros 1t today. Now a single horseman picks his way along the trail. Over all brooks the utterly vanished-from- -the-earth silence which marks the home of people who are no more. Is there no life now in that stiffness, which once beat so f1ercely upon the civilization below that a bar rier must be hurled against 1t over the mountain tops? What of these latter day sons of Ghenis Khan?
