RED CROSS TO COLLECT
CLOTHING FOR BELGIUM
Hoover Asks Davison's Aid In Work
OF Relief

Beginning March IS and ending
March rs. seven day, nationwide
campaign will be carried on by the
American Red Cross and the
Commission for Relief In Bel
GUM to secure minimum
quantity Of 5000 tons of clothes
Tor the destitute people of Belgium
and the occupied portions Of Northern
france. At the request Of Herbert
Hoover. chairman Of the Commission
for Relief In Belgium, Henry P. Davi-
son. chairman Of the Red Cross War
Council. has granted the use Of the ma
tional Red Cross Organization for col
Letting the needed clothing
AS the commission has allowed most
OF Its local committees to disband be-
cause OF the financial arrangements
made last June with the government,
II has turned to the Red Cross Tor
help. Where the local committees OF
the Relief Commission are still intact,
they Will work side by side with the
Red Cross Chapters.
The practically entire exhaustion OF
clothing, shoes, and leather in occupied
Belgium and Northern France and the
shortage Of these necessities in the
worlds markets are making 1t in
creasingly difficult for the Commission
to keep clothed and shod the unfortun
ate people in these territories. In ad
dition to new material, gifts OF used
and surplus clothing, shoes, blankets
flannel cloth, etc, are needed In large
quantities from the people OF the Unit
ed States.
The donations will be shipped al
once 10 the Atlantic seaboard and semi
overseas for distribution.

WEAT AND CORN 10 NOW At
HIGHEST.

Raleigh.-North Carolina farmers
who are holding last seasons wheat
and corn for prices above those that
are ruling at present are warned BY
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page that they are taking an exceed.
ingly long chance Mr.. Page has made
two trips to Washington in the inter-
est Of North Carolina wheat growers
and roller mills and as result OF his
efforts the wheat grower is getting
considerable advance over the price
that he would have gotten otherwise,
hence, Mr. Pages good faith In his
present warning to the farmers cannot
be discounted.
The situation with regard to wheat
and corn Is this:
Through the activities OF the q. 5.
Grain Corporation, the price OF wheat
has been stabilized at $2.2O per bushel.
Chicago basis. Mills are unable to
secure any except local wheat except
through the Grain Corporation; and
elevators, and dealers and farmers
having no market at higher figure
are selling almost altogether to or
through the Grain Corporation. So. re-
gardless OF any shortage or other con-
dition which ordinarily might lead to
high prices, the price Of wheat is no
more likely to advance than the price
of sugar. In fact, a maximum Of $3.50
per barrel has been fixed upon -four
and this doesn't allow higher price
for wheat than that which Is ruling at
present In North Carolina.
AS for corn: The price Of corn va.
ries at different points in North Caro-
lima and the United States from sl.2t
to $500 per bushel. This variation il
due entirely to the congested condt
ton OF the railroads. Corn for March
delivery in New York and Chicago is
selling at $1.24 per bushel, notwith.
standing the fact that cash corn is
selling around s177. As the railroad
conditions are cleared the variation
m prices will disappear and corn will
probably be steadied for the season
Al somewhere around $3.50 per bushel.
The Government and the Food Ad'
ministration feel that the farmer who
makes his crops by the sweat OF his
brow Il entitled to every consideration
insofar as the marketing Of his crops
n concerned. Absolutely no restric
lions have been placed upon him a. 70
time or prices at which he shall sell
ne truth Is that the farmers comprise
tie only class In ths country that has
been exempted from every restriction

AT Prague all schools were to be
closed for full month, from Decem-
Der 16 to January 10. At zizkov (near
Prague) the schools have already been
closed for a month, and the holidays
are likely to last three months. AT
Budenitz, close to coal mines, the
school is closed. At Smichow strin-
gent measures for economy in the use
of electricity have been taken owing
to the lack of coal; for example, pri-
vate consumers are ordered to restrict
their consumption to a single lamp.
The lighting of stairs and vestibules
is restricted as much as possible and
must in no case be continued after .
p. M; the closing of the electricity
works is threatened.
"At Lemberg the electric trans

Director General McAdoo and the
food administration have arranged to
cooperate in the distribution of cars
for the food and feed trades
The grain and grain products and
feed shippers are to first apply for cars
in the usual way through railroad
agents; in case of not being furnished
within a reasonable time they may
then apply to the zone representatives
of the food administration grain d.
vision at the various terminals, stat
ing the cars required, point at which
1t is desired cars should be sent, char
acter of the product to be loaded, the
destination of shipment, and the con-
slgnee.
The shippers of sugar, beans, rice,
vegetables, live stock, meat, and per-
ishables generally, should first apply
for cars in the usual way through rail
road agents; in case not being fur
nished within reasonable time they
may apply directly to the food admin
istration in Washington, stating the
cars required, the point to be sent, the
character of the commodity to be load
ed, the consignee, and destination.
Persons in military service are per-
mitted, under certain restrictions. to
write for publication in newspapers
and magazines. They may not re-
ceive payment for material furnished
by them.
All letters containing matter for pub
l. To- too OF
be sent through officers, who will de-
lete all references capable of furnish
ing important information to the en-
envy.
Regular newspaper correspondents
not in military service are not required
to submit copy for censorship being
guided by the requests for secrecy pub
lshed by the committee on public in
formation. If these are ignored the
privileges of the camp may be with
drawn in the discretion of the camp
commander.
None of these rules apply to troops
in France, where the commanding gen
eral of the expeditionary forces will
establish such regulations as are nee
sary.
Wood pulp Is being manufactured
into cloth in Germany, according to ad-
vices received by the bureau Of foreign

The pulp is spun into thread and

be durable and to stand washing five
or six times. 1t is utilized for cloth
Ing of all kinds but especially for

Ike the present, as can be imagined. because even
when no epidemic RACES, men in such conventions
often run up dangerous temperatures and there are
moi mfrcquent evidences of dclirium accompanying
the fever.
1t has been suggested that there are gcntlcmro
in both parties who would be- willing To accept.
individually, the responsibility ot selecting party
candidates. Also II has been proposed that commit
tees OF three might be- named from each party to
choose the names to be offered 10 voters on tI,
county tickets. Neither course however. would be-
likely Ia prove satisfactory 10 the voters: aud II Is
a moral cinch that the procedure proposed would
not be acceptable to all candidates for nominations
Another suggestion has been that each party
committee cause the names of all aSpirantS for
nominations to he posted upon a convenient black
board and that duly elected delegates to the CON
