utmost difficulty last spring in OBJ
tanning seed, and the very poor
terminating quality of most OF the
seed that was then available.
'Threshing of small grains Is in
progress throughout the eastern
MALT of the district and the Yields
are uniformly good. In this gem
eral area the returns from wheat,
both because of price and the yield,
will be better than the farmers have
ever enjoyed before. Threshing re-
turns from other grains are very
satisfactory.
In the western half of the dis
trict, and particularly in western
North Dakota, the yield is proving
to be somewhat better than prom
ised 30 days ago, and the govern
ment price for wheat will give the
farmers a money return that will
compare fayorably with what they
formerly received in an average
year.
THE substantial rainfall during
the last half of August damaged
the small grain in the shock, but
was OF considerable advantage to
flax and pasturage.
More or less. of the new wheat

Business conditions throughout
the district remain about the same,
excepting as war influences are
making themselves felt in grad
ually increasing shortage OF ex-
perienced help, accompanying which
there is steady growth in the
number of women engaged in cleri-
cal and office work and in industry.
Banks, in particulars have suffered
severely through loss of experienced
men, and are being compelled more
and more to rely upon women. At
the present time approximately half
of the force OF the Federal Reserve
bank consists of women, and much
the same condition prevails in all
the larger institutions. Under these
conditions banks continue to cheer
fully and periodically render ex-
tremely valuable public service, in
the placing of successive issues OF
treasury certificates, and in other
work for the War Savings and Lib
erty loan campaigns" 10 s--y..

Mendina for the soldiers.-R

Mending for the Soldiers.-Real.
red -blooded Americanism is athrob in
the heart of every woman in the Pied
mont, as Is evidenced by the fact that
on Saturday alone at Camp Sewer the
conservation and reclamation division
received offers to repair $4,000 more
pairs OF hose than were on hand at
the time. For the past week hundreds
of garments have been shipped to the
various Red Cross chapters through
out the Piedmont and indications are
that there will be no let UP until every
garment has been repaired.
The response Of the Red Cross chap
ters to the appeal sent out several
weeks ago to assist in the repairing
OF soldier clothes has been most graf
flying to the Camp Sewer reclamation
officer. Each day has seen an in
creased number of orders for goods to
repair until Saturday when It was i'm
possible to fill all orders. However,
every one will be given an opportunity
to participate in the work as more
garments will be shipped at once.
Word received from every town where
Camp Sewer goods have been sent for
repair is that young and old alike are
entering into the task with enthusiasm
that has not been witnessed since the
days Of '65. In almost every home
from the red hills Of Newberry to the
North Carolina line deft fingers and
willing hearts are now mending socks
shirts and sweaters for the boys who
wear the khaki.-J. D. @.

FIGHTING WITH BAYoNET.
British Revel In Such Work; But Ger
mans Don't Like IL.

There is no question of the fact that
Hcinic does not like the hayonet.
II doesn't suit his temperament.
The British on the other hand have
always led the world with the weapon
They invented the kind OF bayonet we
are now using. which bears little re-
srmblancc To the old style instrument
II is ono edged knife with Il handle,
attached to the rifle muZzlc. and In
form suggests likeness to the short
sword of the ancient Roman legion
airy.
At close quarters the hayonet may
often br employed to greater advan-
tagc as knife. chiefly for thrusting,
as the Roman soldier used his favor
itc weapon. II is held low and thrust
upward at the encmy's ritals-a sort
of iah that is hard to ward off.
Use of the bayonet as a knife is an
importan; part of the instruction given
our fighting men while in training. But
all the rules of bayonct practice now
accepted Cor the American infantry are
copied from the British manual"
which Is the text book of the final au-
thority on the subject.
II was the British who developed.

are usually sacks stuffed as solidly
as possible with straw and shavings.
and sometimes strengthened by the
introduction of wood sticks TO coun-
forfeit human bones.
In practice work these dummies are
suspended from overhead horizontal
poles or attached to stakes driven into
the ground. Most commonly they oc-
cupy trenches. which infantrymcn
under training fcrociously attack. II
is the business of the attackers TO
stab the dummies swiftly in vital
parts, which arc sometimes indicated
by painted spots or attached disks.
One of the points most difficult TO
teach the average recruit is that he
must not thrust too hard. The vital
parts of Il human body are easily PEN
ctratcd; il is successful aim that is
important. IL the hayonct passes
clear through the advcrsary's body 1t
cannot he easily withdrawn. and IN
the meantime. while trying to wrench
il loose. the soldier is helpless against
a second or third enemy.
The bayonct (and the same rule ap-
plies TO its use as knifc) must never
he drawn back for thrust. IL
must always hc held in advance OF the
body. counting upon the impetus OF
the charge and the forward stretching
of tho arms TO plant 1t in the encmy's
carcass. If it sticks fast II may us
ua!ly he released by firing the gun,
which breaks the bones that hold it,
\ jab ut Heinc's throat is at once
the most disconcerting and. If we'll
aimed the most Immediately disabling
of thrusts. 1t will at least force him
back. giving chance for thrust at
some other vital part. If he turns tail
n puncturc in the kidneys will finish
him.

Of his own. II is deadly kind OF duel
ing. Skillful fencing may win the
combat. But no foul is barred. The
business Is one Of killing: and mus

How Heinie Got His Furlough.-
British officers on the French front
are telling a story about a lanky
good -natured Australian who brought
in band of prisoners. He noticed all
were happy but one. He told the pri-
soner who spoke English TO ask the
sullen "Heinie" what he was grouchy
about.
The solemn one said he was blue be-
cause he was to go on leave the next
day and wanted to see his wife and
children.
"Oh," drawlcd the Australian. SIS
that what's ailing him? Well 1t Is
tough luck to be caught on the eve OF
a furlough.
"T guess the British government
won't fret itself over a humble Fritz,
seeing tho huntin's been so good OF
late. Tell your gloomy friend to beat
it while the COINS good and not to lin
ger before change my mind"
Bystandcrs say they could scarcely
see that Heinie through the dust his

SUNDAY JOY RIDING.
Saving Of Gasoline Sufficient to Load
Ten Ships.

The saving effected by the autolcss
Sundays has enabled the government
to send TO France ten shiploads Of gas
olne, of $4,000 barrels each. NJ. L.
Requa director OF the oil division OF
the fuel administration declared In
speech at Cooper Union. New York
last Monday night. If the American
people had not complied with the fh"l
administrations request, nc added
the ten cargocs could not have gone
forward.
The oil administrators presented an
array of interesting figures on oil pro-
duc,ion and consumption upon which
the request for gasoline conservation
based and voiced tho opinion That more
GASOLINE had TO be saved II a scarcity
was to be avcrtcd. He said:
1--WE will need this year to meet
only normal increase in consump-
ton not less than 25.O0O.o00 barrels of
crude oil more than last year we
used more than 16O0O.000 barrels in
1897. This grew to l6e,000,0O0 barrels
in 1907. If we are to meet the normal
rate of growth we must have not less
than 365, 100000 barrels in 1918. This
is &C per cent of the total production
Af+4sI.->-ld-an and yet is not enough.
the 1rst hall gek 1Sll soalf gnsus
line production has Increased more
than 100000 barrels, but our con-
sumption has more than kept pace
with this. Our stocks Of kerosene are
2.O00.0 900 barrels less than on the first
OF this year and our stocks OF crude
oil are 100000 barrels less.
AN demands for export will con-
tinue to be met from the 350.O0O,O00
barrels OF crude Oil. the S0.000.00 bar
rcls of kerosene and the 170,000,000
barrels of fuel oil that will probably
hc produced this year"
The 100000 barrels thus exported,
hc said. was equivalent to 20,000,000
Gallons. which represented an approx
imation OF the saving accomplished by
the autolcss Sunday.

MIGHTY ENGINEERING WORK.

American army engineers are doing

engineering project was, and more also
than was ever done in day on all the
river and harbor work of the United
States. This comparison gives some
idea of the magnitude of the army
construction now going on in Europe

ever undertaken at home.
