Government Will [
Grades of Cotton.
Use Cheaper

Receipt of complaints from the cot
ton industries of North and South
Carolina that low grades of cotton
cannot be sold advantageously because
of the Government refusal to use
them for tents and similar army and
navy supplies brought an important
concession Friday from the war in
dustries board. Hereafter the Govern
ment will use some of the chea per
grades of cotton for these supplies.
This announcement, which comes from
the office &C Senator Simmons, is of
great Importance to all cotton pro-
ducing States.
Senator Simmons and Senator Eli
son Smith, of South Carolina, took
up with the war industries boar
which largely controls Government
purchases, the complaints coming
from Southern States that low gra lie
cotton is difficult to sell because of
the Governments restrictions as to
it's use for tents.
After informing the war industries
board of the Importance of the South
ern States of the use of the lover
grades of cotton which may be used
advantageously for certain kind of
war fabrics, the war industries board
promised to afford greater use OF
the lower grades of cotton, and Ser
ators Simmons and Smith feel there
will be an immediate adjustment.

USE RYE FLOUR AND
SOY BEAN FLOUR
Cheaper Than Wheat Flour and Con-
tain More Nutriment.

Raleigh, June 29.-Going step be-
yond his request to dealers to refrain
from further purchases of flour from
outside the State, State Food Admin
istrator Henry A. Page has called up
on the hotels, restaurants, bakeries
and institutions of North Carolina to
substitute for wheat flour to as large
an extent as possible rye flour and
soy bean flour. County food admin
istrators in at least two North Caro-
lima cities have declared that the best
bread on their markets at present is
rye bread, and the food administra-
ton has sent to all bakeries and 9TH
er large users a list OF North Carolina
mills which can supply rye flour.
Soy bean flour is included in the
list of cereal substitutes which may
be purchased with wheat flour and
is being used in large quantities in
some sections. One North Carolina
mill three weeks ago had shipped 1000
barrels of soy bean flour to Northern
cities for use in bakeries, hotels, and
restaurants and had contracted for
the delivery of 400 tons more. North
Carolina produces more soy beans than
any other State in the Union and
should be a pioneer in the consump-
ton as we'll as the production of this
product, according to the food admin
Istration.
Rye flour and particularly soy hean
flour are both produced in North Car
,olina and their use would relieve the
transportation situation to a consid-
,erabie extent In addition, rye flour
and particularly soy bean flour are
considerably cheaper than wheat flour
Rye flour is jus as nutritious as wheat
flo.n am, soy bean flour contains mere

Death of Miss Patsy Webb-Home
Boys in Navy.
St. Pauls Messenger.

SC. fdulS N1tSSSlISCIs
The people in town were shocked
last Saturday morning when they
learned that Miss Patsy Webb, who
made her home with her brother Mr.
J. T. Webb, was dead. Miss Webb had
been in falling health for some tine,
but it was only about ten days ago
when she gave up her usual house
work, and died Friday night. The
burial was at the Presbyterian ceme-
terry, Saturday afternoon.
Rev. J. M. Hester, who is now chap
lain on one of Uncle Sans fighting
ships, came in Monday morning, and
Monday night at the open air service
stand he gave a good audience his ex-
perience, and chaplain's duty among
the sailor boys. He gave an inter-
esting account of his first voyage
across the sea. There is evidence to
believe that Jim is going to be an
Influential chaplain in the United
States navy. He left yesterday to
return to his post.
Mrs. F. A. Berlin has just returned

just returned from France, having
taken over $1,000 troupes. While go
ing over they were attacked by 1S
U-boats, five of which were sunk by
the guns on the Leviathan. Mrs. Ber-
lin found her son we'll and as much en-
Unused in whipping the Germans as
when he went into the navy % months
ago, and says he is not satisfied tax
ing troupes over, and sinking sub
marines but wants to join the ma
rines, who are doing the heavy work

CHAPTER TX.
Suicide Annex.

Twas in my first dugout and looked
around curiously. Over the door of
same was a little sign reading "Sui-
eide Annex" One Of the boys told
me that this particular front trench
was called "Suicide Ditch" Later on
I learned that machine gunners and
bombers are known as the Suicide
Club"
That dugout was muddy. The men
slept in mud, washed in mud, ate mud,
and dreamed mud. I had never before
realized that so much discomfort and
misery could be contained In those
three little letters, M q D. The floor
Of the dugout was an inch deep in
water. Outside it was raining cats and
dogs, and thin rivulets were tr1ckling
down the steps. From the air shaft
Immediately above me came a drip,
drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole
eight feet wide, ten feet long and six
feet high. It was about twenty feet
below the fire trench; at least there
were twenty steps leading down to 1t.
These steps were cut into the earth,
but at that time were muddy and slip
perry. A man had to be very careful
or else he would "shoot the chutes."
The air was foul, and you could cut
the smoke from Tommy's fags with
knife. It was cold. The walls and
roof were supported with heavy square
strengthened with sandbags. Nails had
been driven into these timbers. On
each nail hung a miscellaneous assort-
ment of equipment. The lighting ar
rangements were superb-one candle
in a reflector made from an ammuni-
ton tin. Ny teeth were chattering
from the cold, and the drip from the
airshaft did not help matters much.
While I was sitting bemoaning my
fate and wishing for the fireside at
home, the fellow next to me, who was
writing a letter, looked up and inno-
Gently asked, "Say, Yank, how do you
spell 'conf1agration'?
I looked at him in contempt and an
swered that did not know.
From the darkness in one Of the cor
ners came a thin, piping voice singing
one of the popular trench ditties en-
titled:
"Pack up your Troubles in your Old Kit
Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile.'
Every now and then the singer
would stop to cough, cough, cough, but
it was a good illustration Of Tommy's
cheerfulness under such conditions.
A machine-gun officer entered the
dugout and gave me hard look. 1
sneaked past him, sliding and slipping,
and reached my section of the 'front.'

the sergeant, who asked me, "Where
in - ave you been?"
made no answer. but sat on the
muddy fire step, shivering with the
cold and with the rain beating in my
face. About half an hour later I
teamed up with another fellow and
went on guard with my head sticking
over the top. At ten o'clock I was
relieved and resumed my sitting posi-
ton on the fire step. The rain sud
denly stopped and we all breathed a
sigh Of relief. We prayed for the morn
ing and the rum issue.
