KING sMAsHEs PRECEDENT.

London, Nov. 19.-Another precedent
went the way of other precedents to-
day, when King George, ACCOMPANIED
by Queen Mary and the Prince of
Wales went to the palace at Westmin-
lister to receive and reply to the loyal
ty address passed by the houses of
parliament yesterday. Heretofore it
had been the custom of the parliament
to go to the king on such occasion.
The royal party drove to the palace a.
Westminster without escort and was
loudly cheered along the route
Arriving at Westminster, the royal
party went Immediately 20 the ga. cry

HERD OF BUFFALOES WILL BE
SENT TO PISGAH PRESERVE.

Announcement is made by Edward
Seymour, president of the American
Bison society, 10 the forestry officials
here that Austin Corbin of New Hamp-
shire has given six buffaIoes for the
Pisgah forest game preserve. The
buffaloes will probably be ready for
shipment in the early spring and will
be added to the large herd of elk now
in the preserve The elk herd includes
two bulls, seven COWS, and two calves.
It is the plan OF the government to
eventually make Pisgah forest one of
it's largest preserves for wild game
animals
The government now has about 500
acres of land fenced in for the pas
ture of animals and the herd of buf-
falOes will be placed in this pasture.
The government had planned to send
some buffaIOes to this preserve some
time ago but these plans were inter
rupted by the outbreak Of the war,
TRANSPORTATION facilities being such
that they could make no effort to in
crease the number or variety Of the
animals there.
Rudolph Diefenbach has been SEM
here by the government as successor
to Verne RhOades to be in charge Of
the Pisgah National forest and Game
preserve. He is a graduate of the old

mast five years has been stationed II.

A War Savings Stamp is patriotic
gift. It is not to be priced only for
its value but for the patriotic spirit
in which it was bought and given.
The giving of stamps does not require
the labor and material so greatly
needed by the Government at this
time. Furthermore, giving stamps
saves the usual rush that makes
Christmas burden instead Of JOY
Gus occasion. This year stamps are
the most patriotic gift. Buy them and
help put your State over the top in
the War Savings Campaign.
Today North Carolina lacks $11,-
100000 having her War Savings quota
subscribed. If every North Carolinian
who is able to do so would buy at
least one War Savings Stamp as a
Christmas present either for himself
or some other member of his fam.
lily, and Houldsdo THIS a addition to
what he has already bought or pledged
to buy, the amount realized would be
sufficient to complete what the State
lacks in having it's War Savings al1oE-
ment. Therefore, it behooves every
patriotic citizen Of North Carolina to
be patriotic and buy War Savings
Stamps for Christmas presents

MEANING OF MILLION DRIVE iii
BY THE BAPTFSTS OF N, G

Raleigh, Nov. 20.-The approaching
session of the Baptist State conven-
ton at Greensboro, Dec. 3-6, gives
promise of being the most notable one
in the long list Of it's 88 annual ses-
sions. The convention will face the
many and multifOrm problems growing
out of our new relationships TO the
world, chief among which will he that
of training leaders to help shape the
civilization of the future. The educa-
tiOna1 question, therefore, will ncc'- '-py
the center Of the stage at this session,
one whole day, in the middle Of the
convention, being devoted exclusively
to discussion of it's various phases.
1t is expected that the Million Dol
lar campaign for the Baptist schools in
the State, which was projected a year
ago at it's session in Durham, will be
brought to a successful conclusion at
this time. However, on account Of the
continued distressing conditions in
some sections of the State brought
;iabout by the influenza epidemic, it
may be necessary to extend the time,
limit for short period until the
churches can resume their regular
work.
The intensive drive scheduled for
October and November in all the Bap-
tist churches OF the State for the mil
IiC-l dollar fund has been greatly
handicapped by reason Of the unparal-
Ieled conditions. However, from the
mountains to the sea most encoUrag-
! ing reports are daily coming to the
central Office. In every case where
any thing like a thorough canvass has
been made, the churches have gone
with inoroo co of from
so to 100 per cent over their allotment.

WHAT OF THE KAISER?

1t was said that Alexander the
Great, after conQuerirg the known
world. sat down and cried because he
did not have another world to conquer.
julius Caesar was put to death be-
cause he had won TOO many battles
and had become too popular with the
people. Napoleon, after dazzling the
world, spent his last days on the little
island of st. Helena, far away from
family and friend. What about the ex-
Kaiser? It seems that international
law would protect him and allow lin
to remain in neutral country as a
rule, but the situation might be slight
ly changed. There are true bills
against him in England for brutal
murder and one in our own Texas: 1t
seems that a murderer may be releas-
ed by a neutral country and returned
for trial. In this event, when Fig
land has finished with him it is hoped
that his remains, if there be any, may
)e sent to Texas for final disposition.

SUGAR BEETS

G. H. Valentine has raised in his
garden in Hendersonville number
of sugar beets, as an experiment.
One of them is on display in the win
dow Of the First Bank & Trust Com
pany, and weighs twenty pounds. Mr..
Valentine has arranged with the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton to have several of the beets test
ed to ascertain the per centage of
sugar, with a view of finding out if
sugar beets would be paying crop
here commercially for the manufac-
turer of sugar. In any event, it is
said that the sugar beets make ex-

ton per acre is enormous.

APPLE SHOW CANCELLED

The Western North Carolina Apple
Show, to be held at Asheville, Noven-
Der 20-22, will not take place this year
because of the epidemic of influenza.
The replies to a circular letter sen:
to the growers by Assistant Horticui-
turist Matthews, show that very few
growers are in & position to come OF
send an exhibit, because of the epi-
denlic and of the shortage OF labor
Many growers, who had planned to ca
hibit, have had their working force SC
much reduced that it is Impossible fO1
them to prepare suitable exhibits. II
view of these facts, and the fact thai
the epidemic is not subsiding rapidly
it was thought best by the agricultural
authorities to call off the apple show

POSSIBILITIES
FIGHT "FLU' WITH SUNSHINE
Report of Remarkable Results Obtain
ed in Sunshine and Open Air Treat.
ment of influenza and Pneumonia.

Dear Doctor:
The State Board of Health is firmly
convinced that in the sunshine and
climate of North Carolina we have the
most efficient possible method of COM
batting the epidemic of influenza and
infiuenZa-pneumOni that is now cost
ing the lives of so many of our citi-
ZenS. We unreServedly commend for
your use, and for the use of the peo-
pie generally, the sunshine and open
air treatment for both influenza and
influenza a-pneumOnia.
This conclusion is based upon the
experience of the State of Massachu-
setts, where the disease originated in
this country and which State was
hardest hit prior to the sweep of the
epidemic over North Carolina. The
experience of Massachusetts demon
strates that the death rate from inf1u-
enZa-pneumOnia treated under estab-
1ished hospital conditions was forty
per cent, whereas cases given the
sunshine and open air treatment
showed a death rate Of less than thir-
teen per cent.
The method Of treatment is simple,
and is just what is indicated. Pa
tients are cared for in tents, in airy
wooden shacks constructed for the
purpose, or on pOrches or in the yards
of homes. During the daylight hours,
which at this season in North Caro-
lima means at least ten hours each
day, the patients can be taken right
out into the open, being given full ex-
posure TO sunlight and air. Patients
whose temperatures ran from 102 to
104 degrees during the period Of treat
ment in indoor hospitals returned to
normal il a few hours after being re-
moved into the open air. Respiration
and pulse rate also showed rrroa-h-
, able Improvement
