SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food Admlnistra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year sPved fully
5000, 600 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley.
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from SO grain states to the u.
IS. Food Administration. Other states.
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and ~threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest POSI-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
Ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.

Believe Chances for Landing
Governorship to be Stronger
Than Ever Next Election

TRENTON, Nov. 29.-JudgiDg from
present indications the Democratic
State Committee will not have to "in-
vite' candidates noxt year to enter the
lists for governor as II was forced to
do in the recent campaign for United
States senator.
The gains the Marty made through
out the state and tho many encourag-
ing pheses OF he etsction from the
Democratic standpoint have been re-
sponsible for the stirring of much In
terest within the weeks hat ave In
tervened since the recent election.
The cutting of Governor Edges TO-
900 plurality down to rs, 900 together
with Baird's plurality of less than 15,-
600; the gain of two congressman. Civ
ing the party five out of twelve and
the big increases In the Democratic
representation in the state legislature
have brought from the political bomb
proof hiding places Democrats who
disappeared>in the party debacle of
two years & In New Jersey and a
not stirred a han since In its interest.
I'VE rave a fine chance to elect a
governor next year." Is the emarK
tina is heard wherever Democratic
politicians foregather, and already
certain individuals who are under
stood to ave aspirations in that di-
rection are quietly saying a word here
and there.
Al this writing there seems to be
only one avowed candidate,
elect and former State Comptroller
Edward 1. Edwards, of Hudson
ty. 1t Is said that since his run against
Governor Edge for senator. George M.
LaMonte believes he Is the logical cam
didate, and that Charles O'Connor
Hennessy also thinks he Is the man.
1t is freely admitted that several
Democrats said to be strong in North
Jersey missed the opportunity of their
political lives In not accepting The par
ty nomination for United States
tor in the recen campaign. Politi-
clans declare that had either Federal
Judge Haight or John r. Hardin ac-
cepted the proffered nomination which
was practically offered to each or
them they would have come pretty
near carrying off the prize. La Monte
was regarded Is a weak candidate for
the long term against Edge and the
question Is now being asked what
would have happened with a strong
rival Cor the governor.

Of Russia, the reveiw merely says

While the operation Of American

FARMERS SHOULD USE LEAVES
AND PINE STRAW FREELY.

When the writer was growing up,
every available winter day was used
for 'raking and hauling litter'-leayes,
pinestraw, and woods mold. This
winter, especially, every day that can
be spared from other farm work ought
to be utilized in the same way.
Mr.. G. c. Logan of the North Caro-
lima Extension Service has prepared
the following table showing the value
of fresh, dry forest leaves as COM
pared with stable manure-a table
which will surprise thousands of far
merS:
Pounds of plant food per ton and value.
Cow manure, nitrogen SO, phos. acid
So, potash S.8, value $3.50.
Horse manure, nitrogen 9.8, pros acid
90, potash SO, value 1852.
Forest leaves, nitrogen 15.2, phos acid
So, potash 8.4, value $S.15.
In this table Mr.. Logan figures on
present commercial values of 35 cents
a pound for nitrogen, 6 cents a pound
for phosphoric acid and 80 cents a
pound for potash. AS the North Car
DINA Extension Service adds:
1T can be seer that the plant food
in a ton of fresh, dry forest leaves is
with SOuS4u01 dUIy -uOI0 LHdu lille
plant food in an equal amount OF either
COW or horse manure. In addition tt
his greater fertilizing value, the leaves
would supply about four times as
much organic material as the same
amount of manure, since the latter un-
der ordinary conditions, contains about
80 per cent water
The leaves in your woodland MAJ
never again be worth as much as to
day. Now while fertilizers are high il
the time to lash in" on all leaves am
pinestraw. Haul them up now AM
convert them into high-priced farm
products next year instead of holdini
them out until crop values may be GU
in half.

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.

North Carolina is n of the three
states in all the union that have a dis
tinctive flag. All the others simply
display the State Seal upon a blue or
white field.
North Carolina has the honor of be-
ing one of three states to have a state
song. the other two being Maryland
and Kentucky.
North Carolina was the first country,
if it can be SO termed, on this CONT
nent, to declare its independence and
establish an independent republic. this
being done at Halifax, April IL, 1776 by
authority of Congress, and this is why
that date and the the single star are
shown on the North Carolina flag.
North Carolina is one of three south
ern states admitted to birth registra-
ton area by the Federal government.
The other southern states are Virginia
md kentucky. The other states ad-
mitted to the birth area are New York.
Pennsylvania. Michigan and Minnesota.

AMERICANS, PRO-GERMANS AND
YELLOW DOGS NOW IN THE WAR

tits time that we began to think in
concrete personal terms about the bus
mess of winning the war. To a good
many people in America that has been
and still is somebody's else business.
The President can't win this
The Democratic Party can't win it.
Neither can the Army nor the Navy
nor the farmers nor the laborers nor
the capitalists. George can't do it.
You, whoever you are and whatever
you are doing, must win it personally.
The business of winning is everybody's
business. Anv man who is not ready
to make it his personal affair is a
coward running from the field of bat
tie.
From this time. on there can be only
three classes in the United States
Americans, pro-Germans and yellow
dogs. Many people would lump the
two last, but wrongly, because in the
third group there are many who, once
awakened to a class consciousness of
their yellow-dogginess, may be saved.
We refer, of course, to the men who
are seeking party and partisan ad-
vantage in this crisis; to the red-tap-
ers and incompetents who are OBJ
istructing and muddling everything they
touch; to the grandstanders and lime
lighters who see nothing but an OPP
portunity for personal advertising and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT in the national peril
and to the proiteers, to whom all dol
lars look alike. even those that are
b~lood-stained.
Let there be no misunderstanding in
the mind of any man about these
things. Votes made by specious ap-
peals to discomfort mean lives lost
Incompetents continued in Office neal
trenches taken by the enemy. Strikes
that squeeze the last penny out of our
need for haste mean men drowning in
the Atlantic and soldiers sacrificed in
France.
The yellow dogs are in a minority
They must be converted or sent to the
pound. The pro-Germans should be
there now. The great majority OF, US
who are single-hearted for America
cannot be soldiers, but every nan anC
woman of us can back up a soldier tt

TAKES OFF DAMDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get a small bottle
Of Danderine right aow-AIso
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, oolorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruf. It robs the hair
of its l~ustre, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which if
rot Pemedied causes the hair roots to
shrink loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
nIght-now-any ,time-wil surely save
your hair.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderjne from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dan
derine. Sa~~ vo"tr hairi Try it!
