you desire and expect in boys
knicker booker, is it not?
You may expect it but hopes and
realizations are words of strong
contrast and will be until the boys
are camping on the kaiser's lawn.
Quality and quantity we have,
we might add price we hope to
get.
But as Fred says: Getting
down to brass tacks, the situation
Is this
Five hundred pair of Buys knick-
ers are piled upon our tables,
bought by us at 10 to 100 per cent
above pre-war prices. We have
averaged the retail price until it
appears rather reasonable, ranging
from ST. to So.
The $l.00 price is a knicker that
was before the war soc and we
never regarded them as any good.
That's our opinion now.
To get a really good trouser you
need expect to pay 81 to So, but,
and here's where we don't fool
you nor you yourself. THEY ARE
GOOD.

One of your most pressing prob.
lens and one to be acted upon without
delay, is the matter of obtaining your
fertilizer
In spite of the best efforts of the
manufacturers and the Government,
materials for making fertilizers are
scarce and high in price. Therefore,
it is ell the more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the farmer Is
capable Of giving.
The Mobilization of our army, re-
curing a maximum movement Of
troop trains and supply trains, has ov-
as never before, and in order for fer
| tilizers to be distributed this season,
the movement must of necessity, be-
| gin early and the unloading of cars
at destination be done with utmost
despatch. Every car must b, loaded
| to canacity.
| Today fertilizers arc cheaper than
! farm cops or farm labor. A bale OF
CO; on, q bushel of corn, oats or
wheat, will buy more pounds of fertil-
izers now than ever before, hence to
assure the performance of a patriotic
duty, with great profit to yourself, or
der your fertilizers promptly so that
you may be sure to get them. And
when you get them, use them with
the greatest degree of intelligence.

To the Women of North Carolina:
With victory in the great war de-
pendent upon the food supplies which
we can send to the armies and civilian
population of our Allies in Europe;
and with several hundred thousand
women and children in the neutral
countries of Europe appealing piteous-
ly to America to save them from star
walton. we face the greatest and most
insistently pressing demand for food
stuffs that has been made upon peo-
pie in the worlds history.
Russia has collapsed because Of dis
orsanized and insufficient food sup
plies for it's armies and for its civilian
population in some sections, and more
American blood will be spilled in
France because Of Russia's failure to
push the war. Any failure upon our
part to supply necessary fooodstuffs in
France. England and Italy would
threaten a similar collapse in those
countries which would immeasurably
increase the war burdens of this coun-
trv and the cost of variety.
The neutral peoples of Europe have
/! always imported large quantities OF
! foodstuffs from North America, South
America, Asia and Australia. Because
\ of war conditions and transportation
! difficulties practically all supplies are
now cut off except those from NORTH
America and representatives of those
peoples are making the most heart
rending appeals to cur country for aid
It is an appalling fact that DESPITE
the most we can do for those peopl
after supplying our Allies tens
thousands of them must perish iron
hunger during the next few months.
In the face of those conditions i
Europe we have exported all our MOI
NAL surplus of wheat. Every pound c
wheat or -four which we export froI
now on must be saved from our no
NAL consumption. The same thing
approximately true of beef and por
products and fats while the situate
with sugar is even worse.
Jackson County journal. (Sylva, N.C.) 19??-19??, 1918-01-04

Our government officials are doing
their utmost to meet the situation
and every consumer of foodstuffs In
America may realize and feel sure that
every ounce of wheat, every ounce
of fats, every ounce Of sugar and
every ounce of beef and pork which
they save from their normal consump-
ton, either by reduction in consump-
ton or by the substitution of other
foodstuffs not suitable for export, will
reach a soldier in the trenches or q
woman, child or man who may. starve
to death if it is not provided for them
by us. Every particle of exportable
foodstuffs saved in every North Caro-
lima home will release just that
amount to help win the war and to
help prevent the actual starvation and
suffering of innocent women and chill
dren and men on the other side.
Most of our people are realizing
their obligation to their country and
to humanity and are consuming q
much smaller proportion of wheat
flour, beef and pork products, fats and
sugar than they were accustomed to
under normal conditions. Many have
not realized the seriousness and the
horror of the situation.
To every woman and every con-
} ! sumner in the State, I appeal to do your
| utmost in the saving of the food pro-
ducts named This is an individual
problem and must be solved by the in.
dividual The responsibility is indi
vidual and no single person can escape
the responsibility that is imposed
I upon them in this matter. We have
4 ample foodstuffs aside from those de
sired by the government for expor
q and none of us need suffer.
