RETAIN BULKY CROPS
INSTEAD OF SELLING

Experience teaches that the
less bulky crops we sell the
less likely are we to find the
cost of marketing excessive.
Raw materials must be man
ufactured into finished products
before they become staple and
have the highest market value.
A good way to convert raw ma
terials, such as hay, silage, fod-
der, grain, grass, etc., into fin
ished products, is to feed good
animals and market animal
products.

Mr.. Folk was born and reared in

ALLIES STILL VICTORS
WAR NEWS SUMMARY

The allied armies have obtained fur
ther successes over the Germans IN
fighting in the scissors Rheims Sec
tor and to the north in the Montdid-
ier region, and still further north in
Flanders between the Lave and the
Clarence rivers.
East of the town Of Braisne on the
vesle River, midway between scissors
and Rheims, American and French
troops, after the swiftest kind of
fighting, have crossed the river and
held all the POSITIONS gained. The
French, to the north of Rheims, have
penetrated the German positions for
more than 400 yards in the railroad
triangle beginning at Rheims and run
ring northeastward toward Rethel and
northwest to Laon. In addition, all
the positions previously gained BY the
allied troops throughout the entire
Rheims Scissors salient have been sol
idly held, Notwithstanding counter
attacks and the heavy artillery fire the
enemy has poured down from the
heights north Of the Vesle upon their
antagonists.
Near where the Vesle enters the
Aisne, east of Scissors, the French
have overcome the resistance of the
enemy and taken the village of Cry
Salsogne.
In the Montdidier sector the French
south and southeast of the town have
further advanced their line on this
important sector, which represents the
junction point of the armies of the
German crown prince and of Crown
Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria.
1t remained for the British, however,
to deliver the hardest blow against
the Germans Wednesday. Following
up a previous advance on the famous
I.ys sector northwest of LaBasse,
Field Marshal Haig's men pushed for
ward their line over front of nearly
five miles to depth of a thousand
yards, between the Lave and Clarence
rivers. The details of this advance
are not yet in hand, but the maneuver
doubtless will go far way toward les
sening the point of the nasty salient
that has stood for months as menace
to the British lines north and south Of
it.
Next in Importance is the further

Americans across the Vesle, where the

In the democratic primary held
throughout the state on last Thursday
for the purpose of selecting nominees
for United States senator, governor,
congress and representative to both
houses of the state legislature, there
were only two contests in the county,
namely, United States senator and
governor. The vote cast fell short of
that polled in the regular election by
about 100 votes, notwithstanding the
fact that there were no contests in the
regular election.
There was a good deal Of rivalry and
excitement both in the race for U. S.
senator and for governor. In the for
mer Rye received 476 votes and Shields
SOP, Shields winning by 26 majority
In the gubenatorial race Roberts re-
ceived 454, Peay 439 and Shropshire
n, Roberts winning over Peay by IA
votes. Garrett for congress, Bond for
the legislature, Kahn for Floater and
Beard and Rice for state committee
men had no opposition in this county.
Reports from various sections of
the state show that Shields and Rob-
erts are the winners in their respect
i've races. Shields seems to have
about 10000 majority over Rye and
Roberts about 5000 over Peay.
Elsewhere in this issue is published
a tabulated report of the primary vote
in Haywood county by precincts.

GOVERNMENT TO RAISE
ARMY OF 100000
So Says Gen. March is Advocating Man
Power Bill: Plans to Speed up Pros
ecution of War. :

Washington, Aug. Tin urging en-
actment of the Administrations man
power bill, extending the draft ages to
from IS to IS years, Gen. March told
the senate military committee today
that the war department army plans
an army Of approximately five million
men to be raised as soon as possible.
While realizing importance Of the
measure, Genarl March said he did not
believe it was necessary to recall con-
press before the present recess plan
expires on August "a, providing the
bill could be reported at that time.
About July 80 General March said,
the United States reached decision
to enlarge its military program to car
ry out the policies agreed upon at the
recent inter-aliled conference at Pairs
to speed up prosecution Of the war and
bring it to an early conclusion.
General March said the shipment OF
men overseas would be continued ac-
cording to the program now in effect
for the present.
The chief of staff entered into a gen.
cral discussion for amending the pres
ent law.
Questioned by senators regarding
the apparent "change of front" Of the
war department in its war program,
General March told Of the govern
ment's decision in accord with the
Paris conference.
For the new program Secretary Ba-
Iker and other officials concluded that

biIlty OF the subject.
Senator Chamberlain said he was
not sure just when the committee
would be able to report on the bill.
Secretary Baker. who is now out of
the city, is expected to return Saturday
and the committee desires to hear him
before taking action. A number Of
ether witnesses probably will be call
ed in addition to representatives Of
the navy department.
The prohibition controversy may
hold up consideration of the draft bill.
Under the unanimous consent agree
ment the war time prohibition question
is to be taken up when the senate
reconvenes, with final vote on Aug
ust 26. This can only be set aside by
unanimous consent, and Senator Shep-
Fard of Texas, prohibition leader in the
senate, expressed the opinion today
that a unanimous consent agreement
could not be obtained unless the draft
bill can be taken up and disposed of
with practically no debate.

Wy has for some time been acting as
chief deputy to J. w. Byrn, Haywood
county food administrator, and is ia

of the food administration.
Mr.. Byrn has for some time been
engaged in work outside the state and
for this reason was forced to give up
this position, in which he has render
ed splendid service to the food admin
istration. However, Mr.. Morgan was
fortunate in being able to secure Mr..
Levy as his successor. He will fill
the position in the same efficient, pat
riotic manner which has characteriz-
ed Mr.. Byrn's administration.

rate AZ eod upon by the commlveo
Ju- tic.s Of the supreme court and
all other members Of the judiciary, and
all other officials, federal, state, coun-
ty and municipal, would be included in
the rate-paying class. They are ex-
empt under the present law.
There is story around the commit
tee rooms to the effect that President
Wilson always has paid his income
tax, although specifically exempted by
the law.
The committee is not at all sure
that the proposal to collect income tax
from the president and other officials
named in the amendment would be
constitutional. In fact, the committee
took the position, in agreeing to the
amendment, that the question should
be passed up to the courts for an au-
thoritative decision.
In 1869 Attorney-General Hoar
wrote an opinion to the effect that
tax on the salary of any Of the officials
in question amounted to a "diminu-
ton" of that salary and therefore the
proposal to levy such tax was uncon-
stitutional The committee, after a
long discussion Of the question, today
reached the conclusion that an income
tax was not "diminution" of the sal
ary, and that it is not prohibited by
the constitution
Several members Of the committee
took a decided stand in favor Of max
ing the income tax apply to the sala-
ries of those officials, including the
president. They cited in support of
their argument the words of the in
come tax amendment itself, which read
that the tax SHOULD be levied on all
incomes from whatever source deriv-
ed"
The committee decided also to
change the law so that the interest on
state, county and municipal bonds may
be taxed. The tax will not apply to
bonds issued for the refunding of ex-
isting indebtedness.
Some changes in the deferred pay
ment plan were announced by Chair
man Kitchin today. The new bill will
contain section to permit individuals
and corporations to pay their income
tax in installments, the plan being as
follows:
First-Third of the total amount to
be paid when the return is made, one
third within three months and the bal
ance within six months of the date of
the return. Persons who transmit the
full amount of cash with their income
tax returns will be entitled to de-
duction equal to one and one-ninth
per cent of the total amount of the tax.
The committee adopted an amend
ceeds of all life insurance policies in
provide for the inclusion Of the pro-
ceeds Of all ife insurance policies in
excess Of $4,000 as part Of the gross
estate. The purpose Of this amend
Rent to the inheritance tax section be
to prevent wealthy persons from put
ting their money into life insurance
policies in order to escape the Inherit
anee taxes.

there must be an extension of the draft
age.
While about three million men are
now under arms, army officials think
thr should be approximately five mil
lion men at home and in France. In
order not to disturb the present draft
system and to avoid calling men who
had been given exemption, extension
of the draft age is necessary.
From General March's testimony
and other information received the
committee has gained the impression
that while all men between the ages Of
Is and 45 would be subject to military
duty under the new law, it is proposed
that those between 18 and 20 years Of
age shall be kept in this country until
the last.

The regular August election was
held throughout Haywood county on
last Thursday, August 1st. In this
election there were fewer than a
thousand votes cast, due both to the
fact that democratic nominees had no
opposition, and to the general lack OF

than the great war. The entire tick
ct, both state and county, received
practically the full vote, there being
very few scratches.
Following is a list of officers elect
ed. We cannot give the results by
