FARE OF RURAL PREACHER
North Carolina Food Official Is Moved
to Come to the Aid of tie
Oppressed Minister,

Envy Of the rural prea her who is
still paid in kind can % too far.
High prices for butter and eggs are
not the Indifferent matter to him
that one would suppose. Even in
ordinary times it has been the Gus
tom of his devoted pensioners to
bestow upon him the cheaper prod
ucts, reserying the more expensive
for the market. He must eat his
Eli Of eggs when they are not more
than 80 cents a dozen if he expects
to know what they taste like Wheat
he is sure to have in abul .ance
along with the expense and trouble
Of getting it to the mill and home
again, during harvest time. The
rest Of the year he is at the mercy,
of those who on Sunday mornings
are at his mercy. But the war is
not too much occupied with vast
issues to consider his low estate, OBJ
serves the New York Evening Post.
Just as we are having bumper crop
Of wheat, with the consequent dan
ger that bread will form almost the
only article of his diet for an indefi-
mite period, a county food admins
traitor in North Carolina comes to
his rescue with an order that this
year the rural preacher must be
paid, not in wheat but in its cash
equivalent. If this example should
be copied to any great extent might
it not be well to issue a circular for
the preachers containing pictures of
the various coins in terms of the
more familiar products of the soil !?

"JUST HUMAN, AS YOU ARE"
Mysterious About the Presiding
Deity of the Telephone.

Central" isn't any one person,
writes Marion E. Bailey There
are thousands of "centrals" all over
the world, and they are just people
like you and me. Wherever there
are telephones there has to be one
place where all the telephone wires
meet. This is called the central Of
fee, and there are people in these
ofices-the people we call Central"
because we do not know their
names-who connect one wire with
another, so that your message or the
message of whoever is telephoning
will reach the person he wants to
talk to. When you take the tele-
phone receiver and put it to your
ear it lights tiny electric bulb in
front of the nearest central" She
puts wire with plug ON the end
of it into hole near the light, and
then she can hear your message.
You tell her the number you want
and she takes another plug and puts
it in the hole that has that number
That rings your friends bell and
connects the wires so that you can
talk and be heard. All day long
those thousands of "centrals7 sit be-
fore the "switehboards" where the
holes and plugs and lights are, and
connect one persons telephone with
another persons telephone, and then
at night other "centrals" take their
places and sit there all night, so
that no matter what time it is you
can ALWAYS telephone.

HIGH-P0WER RADIO STATION
Navy Department Building Equipment
That viii Make II Independent Of
Present Gable Lines.

The navy department is erect
ing a high-power radio station in
France at a cost Of $2,500,000,
which will be ready for operation in
August next. The French govern
ment will take it out of our hands
after the war is over. 1t will be
used in connection with the great
station fast nearing completion at
Annapolis, which will be greater
than the one at Arlington, Va. The
present French stations are not pow
erful enough for communication
across the Atlantic ocean, being of
about the same power as the station
at Arlington. All of the equipment
and structural parts, continues Wire
sizes Age, are being made in this
country for the foreign station. A
station is also being built in Porto
Rico. The British are establishing
a high-powered station in the Azores,
which will be valuable as a relay sta
ton. At present about 10000 words
day are possible by wireless, and
the new station at Annapolis will
add $4,000 words per day. The great
er part of the communication at the
present time is by cable. If the
cables are cut, it is estimated that
the Annapolis station and SayviIle
and Tuckerton would probably be
able to take care of all absolutely
necessary military business. There
is but little necessity for the use of
the Pacific coast stations at this
time, as practically all of the naval
operations are on the Atlantic coast.

from which came the rumble of ar

came upon a chaplain, waiting be-

FLIES GIVE AID.

The ranchers of northern Modoc
county, Oregon, are assured that
they have powerful ally in small
fly which is helping to destroy the
grasshopper pest. Vast numbers of
nests, each containing eggs, were left
by the 1918 crop of hoppers, but
close examination shows that this
special variety of fly also deposited
its eggs in the same nests. These
are now Matching out in the form of
grubs, which feed upon and destroy
the grasshopper eggs. Grasshoppers
did great damage in this country
this season, and their, return next
season is regarded with apprehen-
sion.

YANKS EMPTIED HIS CISTERN
man Couldn't Understand Why
Americans Preferred Water.

The A. E. F., take it from every
body who knows anything about it,
is remarkable for its temperance.
But temperance has its drawbacks
sometimes. Witness the plight of
a Frenchman of middle age, who
has a home and the things that go
with it, up in the Marine country.
"Ah, m'sieur," he will tell YOU
81 like the Americans very much
Only-they drink too much of the

but not one drop would the young
Americans touch. Instead, they

HE NEEDED MORE "IKro."

Recruits at Vancouver barracks,
Washington, for Uncle Sans "Hun
Tanners" don't intend to have any
German spies put things over on
them, and they are full of pep and
caution.
The officer of the day, making his
rounds in the general neighborhood
of midnight, came upon sentry,
who challenged him with the usual,
Halt, who goes there?"
"Officer of the day"
The "rookie" sentry was doubt
full, and he decided to test the in
truder.
"Well, if you're officer of the day,
what's the number of my post?" he
asked.
AS the officer hadn't set out the
sentry posts, leaving that to ser
geant, he couldn't answer, and the
sentry promptly took him to the
guardhouse.

WEST SHORE NEWS
Constables Refuse to Serve
Warrants, Justice Reports

West Fairview. Aug. s.-Declaring
that local constables refuse to serve
warrants. Justice of the Peace A. B.
Hoke has reported the conditions to
the Cumberland county court and
urged imme diate action.
The local justice says that he is
unable to clear up some work in the
borough without the assistance of
officers and that these men refuse to
follow his orders. Judge Sadler ad-
vised Justice Hoke to get some one
who has brought a charge and whose
warrant has not been served to start
proceedings against the constable
for violating the law of 1860. This
law compels the constable to serve
a warrant when possible.
