oeautify their capital city, Jerusalem; !;
and when the Turks were forced to
evacuate the city and the allied armies
took possession, l felt like clapping my
hands in ecstasy at the thought of the
fulfilment of the prophecy-"Jerusa
lem shall be trodden down Of the gen.
tiles until the time of the gentiles be
fulfilled"
Is it true that in this year of grace
1918 the way is being paved for the
glorious restitution of all things as
sayeth the prophets? Is it true that
harbarism with its attending crueltie ;
is soon to be thing of the past? !?
Is it true that nothing short Of the
blood of our young manhood is the
purchase price of that glorious liber-
ty for which the children of God have
prayed during the many centuries
past? "Thy kingdom come, thy will
be done on earth as in heaven"
AS sure as God rules in the uni
verse the forces are at work today
which will produce results beyond the
comprehension of the finite mind.
The brotherhood" of man is fast
dawning upon the world, when there
shall be neither Jew nor Greek, bond
nor free, but all shall be one to the
final annihilation Of caste.
How long the struggle will continue
before victory shall be won for God
and humanity, no one knows. When
right is established, then peace will
come.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Three hundred and fifty dollars
was the apportionnfent allotted to
Fairmont to be raised for the Jewish
Relief fund, but by the energy and
efficiency of the ladies whose names
appear below, together with the lib
erality of the contributors to this
worthy cause, $3.50 was given and no
one felt hurt, but each was benefited
benefited because Of the fact that
money given in right direction and
for worthy object is like "bread cast
upon the waters" it will be gathere
many days hence. We have been
reading in the papers of the many
Jews whose lot has not fallen in pleas
ant places, prosecuted, afflicted, and
tormented until famine with it's dis
astrous consequences is visited upor
them. God in the word calls upon His
people to come to the rescue and they
are coming.
In the great struggle now upon the
world, God is not a silent spectator
Such conflict demands of a liberty

flag and country but loyalty to ou7
religious convictions. Some day, &C

COTTON GRADER.

It would be we'll for those who, are
interested in a public cotton grader
for Robson this fall to: see to it that
the matter is properly presented to
the county commissioners at their
meeting Monday of next week. The
Robesonian has no doubt that the
commissioners. who are progressive
set of men, will make the necessary
appropriation if the farmers want it;
and there can be no doubt about the
farmers who know of its benefits
wanting it. The necessary apprb-
priation, to pay local expenses Of Of
flee rent, etc., is only $3.50. THAT is
the only thing we know of that is
cheaper this year than last, when the
amount was $500. Farmers who had
cotton graded last year will tell you
they got more for their cotton than
they would have gotten had it not
been graded. Four thousand bales
were graded in Robson by the public
grader last year. At, conservative
estimate the amount placed in the
pockets of the farmers by this grading
was $1.50 bale, or $4,000 for the
1000 bales. At least one farmer real.
lied $40 a bale extra on some of his
cotton. Now that the benefits of the
work are better understood, the pub
lie grader this year ought to grade
at least 10000 bales, which would b.
the means, of getting for the farmer:
at least $4,000 extra money. Wei
worth an appropriation of $3.50. On,
, can readil ysee what it would mean j
the entire cotton crop of the count,
were graded in this way, and if tn
work is continued from year to yea
1T will net be many years before ever,
farmer will have every bale graded
When farmer has his cotton grade
by the expert grader employed by tn
government he knows exactly what Ii
has to offer and what his cotton i
worth; he does not have to take tn
estimate of any interested party.
The county cannot afford to pas
up the opportunity to get the service
OF a government grader at such sma
cost.

CLASH BETWEEN U. S.
TROOPS AND MEXICANS
Several American Soldiers Killed
Tried to Pass Mexican Across
the Border Illegally.

One American officer fell fighting
in the streets of Nogales, Ariz., Tues
day, according to a dispatch Of the
9th from that place, one civilian was
killed, another officer seriously wound
ed and between ten and twenty Amer
lean soldiers killed during the sklrm-
ish which took place along Interna-
tional avenue between American
troops and Mexicans in Nogales, So
nora.
Approximately fifteen Americans
were wounded, including Lieut.. Col.
Frederick H. Herman, who was shot
through the right leg while command
ing the American troops, but contin-
ued in command on crutches.
The dead include Capt. ]. D. Hun
gerford, who was killed in action. The
civilian was Gaston Reddock. who was
killed during the first hour of the
fighting. Lieut.. Luke w. Lotus was
seriously wounded.
Several hundred troops engaged the
Mexicans and drove them we'll back
into their town.
The Mexicans hoisted a flag of
truce, but continued firing and snip
ing.
The trouble was supposed to have
started as result of an attempt on
the part of a Mexican immigration
official to pass a fellow countryman
across the border illegally. Ameri-
can sentries drew guns and the Mex
leans fired. Other Mexicans, appa-
rently fully armed, came from all di-
rections and aided the Mexicans or
the line until they were driven back.
/ Casualties on the Mexican side, &C.
cording to a late report, were ovel
one hundred killed and wounded.
An infantry detachment in com.
mand of Lieut.. Col. Herman was rush
ed to the border and was followed by
negro cavalry troops, who took W
positions along the streets which
forms the boundary line. The firing
continued until $3.50 p. M, when il
died down slightly. Reports that ma
chine guns were brought fntoA actor
by the American troops were denied
, although machine gun was set up IL
an Office facing Mexico.
No one seemed to know exactl!
what happened after the first sho
was fired. An American sentry wa
seen to enter an Office on Information
al avenue with his arm dangling a
his side with a bullet through hi
shoulder. Soon after the firing be
came general.
The fighting began at o'clock an
was general for about an hour and
half. In pursuing the Mexicans tn
!. Americans did not stop at the bound
:, ary line, it was said, but continue
for at least two blocks into the Mex
can town.

Catarrh is Real Enemy
and REQUIRES Vigorous Treatment

Throw these makeshift remedies to
the winds, and get on the right treat
ment. Go to your drug store to-day,
get bottle Of S. S. S., and commence
IA treatment that has been praised by
sufferers for nearly half a century.
S. S. S. gets right at the source Of
|Catarrh, and forces from the blood
the germs which cause the disease.
You can obtain special medical advice
regarding your own case without
charge by writing to Medical Direc-
tor. 22 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta. Ga.

Do Not Neglect It.

When you use medicated sprays,
atomizers and douches for your Ca
tarrh, you may succeed in unstopping
the choked-up air passages for the
time being, but this annoying condi-
tion returns, and you have to do the
same thing overland over again.
Catarrh has never yet been cured
by these local applications. Have
you ever experienced any'real benefit
from such treatment?

Shipbuilding Will
Continue After the
Coming of Peace
Vice-President Piez An
nounces There Will Be
No Slowing Down

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3O.-An
nouncement that the coming of peace
will not slow down materially the ship
building activities of the yards firing
ing the Delaware River is made by
Charles Piez, ice-president and GEN
eral manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. The work will be less
overtime labor. Further assurance
that no move is contemplated to cur
tail operations is given daily in ad-
vertlsements in the papers here for
skilled and unskilled workmen for en-
ployment at the yards.
Ships and more ships, according to
Mr.. Piez, will be needed to TRANSPORT
food supplies to feed Europe and for
the necessary materials that will be
required for the reconstruction period
IN the war stricken area.
I'VE must continue to build ships
for an indefinite period to carry On
that work." said Mr.. Piez, "as there
are not nearly enough at present. If
any changes are made in our building
programme they will affect only the
form and degree of the work outlined"
There is to be no wholesale cancella-
ton of contracts or the elimination of
departments, insisted Mr.. Piez. who de-
clarcd that whatever changes are nee
essary will be of & gradual sort, and
workers whose departments may be
abandoned will be placed in other
branches of the industry.
At the worlds largest shipyard-
Hog Island--work will 60 steadily
ahead, and men skilled in building yes
sells will have no difficulty in getting
employment there. Men without e.
perience may find employment also;
for the school of instruction where
green hands" have been converted
into shipbuilders will be continued.

Conservation Appeal To Be
Made From Pulpits in
New York Churches
Hoover Sends Message
To All Housewives
wartime Economy Must
Be Continued" Is Word
of Federal Board


Conservation Week for World Relief
begins to-day. when the food admins
tration launches in this country what
1t declares to be "the greatest food
saving campaign" christening it with
the slogan Food Will Win the World
The Administration made public yes
terday figures showing that the food
stocks of this country were slightly
IN excess of the pre-war average, bal
anced them with information concern
ing 29o,o00.o0o people in friendly Eu-
rope dependent on the United States
for food and outlined its plans for
saving 100000 tons of food for ex-
port.
Rules for Saving
It's rules for saving are:
Live simply.
Reduce to the lowest margin con-
slstent with health and strength our
consumption of all vital foodstuffs
particularly butter, condensed milk
and ultima tely all fats.
Cut out the fourth meal'-after-
noon teas and theatre suppers.
Don't eat between meals.
continue the conservation prac-
tised during the war and increase it
wherever possible.
Waste nothing-make every ounce
of food count.
Make the garbage pail an unnec-
essary kitchen utensil.
When tempted to eat more than
YOU need remember the hungry mill
ions of Europe.
"1he food saved through conserva-
ton, plus our surplus, will help
feed Europe and aid in stabilizing
the governments shaken by social dis
order and anarchy
Conservation " eek is to be devot
ed to organizing the country for OBJ
serving the rules. The cooperation of
churches, colleges, schools and other
institutions and organizations has been
obtained. Hotel and restaurant men
have been enlisted. There remains the
vital task of enlisting the housewife
which is to be done by appeals to her
humanity and Intelligence.
Hoover Sen6.ng Message
The Federal Food Board here issued
a statement yesterday, saying:
"A message from Herbert Hoover,
United States Food Administrator, now
III Europe, will be read in all churches
Tuesday will be Conservation Rally
