OF INTEREST To THE
PEOPLE OF JACKSON

To the people of Jackson County and
the patrons of Jackson Co. Fair
| have had several people to suggest
that we do not allow any Carnival
Company to come to the Fair this
fall, but that we allow the people of
the County to furnish the amuse-
ments and credit the proceeds of
the amusement, which would have
gone to the show people,, to the Red
Cross work. Iwant to ask the peo-
pie of the different sections to con-
slider this matter and let me have
expressions through the mails and
the paper so that l may know how
to proceed in this matter. If it is
the desire of the people to put on
the amusements at the Fair, and
some one will suggest a meeting
date to be held in Sylvia at once, we
may discuss plans for this work. |
must have an expression at once
regarding this matter, as l am al
ready receiving inquiries from show
people for propositions.

AUSTRIAN FORCES
Fleeing in DISORDER

The defeat of the Austrian armie,
on the western bank of the Piave
river is complete. Admission is
made by the Austrian war office
that the troops of Emperor Charles
nave been forced to evacuate the
Montello plateau, over which they
nad hoped to press their way and
gain the Venetian plains, and some
sectors" of the positions they at
tanned last week on the bank of the
river between the plateau and the
point where the stream empties
into the Adriatic.
Bad weather, and the rising of
the Piave under the heavv
ralnfalls are assigned as the
reasons of the withdrawal of the
Austrians. But the Rome war Of
hce asserts that it was the impetu-
Gus attacks of the Italians that
brought about the failure of an
operation which was started with
the l-tentlon of crushing the armies
OF General Diaz and force the Ital-
ians, like the Russians, to accept a
Teutonic allied peace.
All along the river the Italians
nave pressed back the invaders of
their territory until only small units
remain on the western bank and
across the stream King Victor
Emmanuel's men are keeping well
on the heels of the retreating enemy
who is fleeing in disorder. Again
the cavalry has been thrown into
the fighting and is sorely harrassina
the enemy. while machine guns from
the ground and from aircraft, some
OF the latter operated by American
aviators, are working havoc among
the fleeing Austrian columns.

The lime offered for sale by the
State is much more soluble than
any commercial lime on the market
in this State. Hence, the State lime
is much more valuable, because it
becomes available for the use of
plants more quickly.
1t should be borne in mind that
even the purest and best ground
lime is rather slowly available in
the absence of an excessive amount
of organic matter. Consequently
the lime sold from the State plant
is more desirable.

FROM A FORMER
JACKSON CO. BOY

Mr. Thomas S. Fortner and Family.
Dear Brother, Sister and Nephew:
will answer your letter of the
18th of March.
Was glad to hear from you. This
leaves me well and feeling fine;
hope you are all the same just
got a letter from home today. Everv
body was we'll.
We are iilving fine weather ont
here; the leaves are coming out.
II come to the eastern camns 7
will let you know at once. Would
have been glad to have been with
you on Easter Sunday, but you
know how ii is.
AS you know we are in the war
and it is up to us to play the game
and play it hard and try to beat
the Germans at their own game.
Uncle Sam is making sharp-shoot-
ers out of his men. We have been
doing nothing for the last two
months but work on the range and
there is only one man who made
a better record than did, and that
was Jerry Reece. We will 20 on
the Range again the first of May,
and then these who qualify will get
their badges. Jerry and I have
more than made our record by 35
to 40 points. l think we will get to
be Shippers; we are going to try for
it.
There are many things l would
like to tell you. but it is not wise to
write it. If l could see you l would
tell you all about it.
think we will get the Kaiser all
right. I am pretty sure there will
be change in the war this summer.
Yes, l and 28 others of our COM
pany were left, and you can't imag-
inc how sad it was to see the boys
start for the western front and
leave us here. There were many
sad partings between US, but I think
they will see us before next Christ
mas. for as long as we are all to-
gether we can do the work much
better, as we we're trained together
But we are all as made of stone, for
Together we stand, divided we
fall" We have the power and the
jazz and the people at our back and
we must win this war. For we are
foundation pillars on which freedom
must be gained for the boys and
and girls just on the eve of man
hood and womanhood; also for those
who are beyond the war age. 1t
isn't a question of win if we can
but we must win, and we are going
to. We have offered all that we
can : our li1es blood to paint the
b ttlefeld with the brave and good
and may our blood which we are
Offering to lay on the altar of the
great and powerful Ruler, which, il
we trust in Him, will be washed
away and painted as white as snow
Yes. it will be great day wher
the flag OF pure white will rise from
the leeward side of Europe and the
bells of victory 60 ringing from
Maine to Florida and from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic.

"'''' '"'"''' F FAVORED POSITION

Raleigh. June 28:-With the coming
IN OF the new wheat crop, North
Carolina farmes who were patriotic
and wise enough to raise their own
wheat will be allowed to have an
entire seasons supply of flour
ground.
The only condition to this privil-
age, according to State Food Ad-
ministrator Henry A. Page, is that
while wheat is still in poor milling
condition, a supply sufficient
to last until October 1st. shall be
ground.
On and after October 1st the re-
quirements Of a farmer for his house
hold and for tenants or other. ten
ants or other dependents whom he
custom:rily supplies until the next
harvest may be ground.
All wheat producers as well as
other consumers ale requested to
continue to observe the present con-
servation program of the Food Ad,
ministration which calls for the use
of as much corn meal and other
cereal substitutes as of wheat flour.
The maximum measure of con-
sumption of flour from new crop
wheat for wheat producers will be
IL pounds per person per month
inst ad of the present requested
voluntary rationing of 6 lbs.
On account of the short wheat
crop last year and of the absolute
necessity from a military stand
point of supplying our armies and
the armies and civilian population
of our Allies with at least a partial
ration of wheat flour, the Food Ad-
ministration was compelled to Make
drastic rules and regulations gov
erning the distribution and grinding
of wheat of the 1917 crop even to
the extent of limited the supplies
which farmers might have ground
from their own wheat. About
months ago the Foods Adminstra.
ton at Washington issued milling
rules which prohibited all wheat
mills from delivering more than a
80 days supply of flour to any one
including wheat growers. Food
Administrator Page granted an ex-
ception to this rule insofar as N. C.
was concerned so that farmers live
ing more than three mile from 6
mill could secure their supplies up
to 80 days. Thus, after all, North
Carolina farmers have suffered lit
tie or no inconvenience.
