Our government officials are doing
their utmost to meet the situation
and every consumer of foodstuffs in
America may realize and feel sure that
every ounce of wheat, every ounce
of fats, every ounce of sugar and
every ounce of beef and pork which
they save from their normal consump-
ton, either by reduction in cOnsump-
ton or by the substitution of other
foodstuffs not suitable for export, will
reach soldier in the trenches or a
woman, child or man who may starve
to death II It is not provided for them
by us. Every particle of exportable
foodstuffs saved In every North Caro-
lima home win release just that
amount to help win the war and to
help prevent the actual starvation and
suffering of innocent women and chill
dren and men On the other side.
Most Of our people are realizing
their obligation to their country and
to humanity and are consuming a
much smaller proportion of wheat

sugar than they were accustomed to
under normal conditions Many have
not realized the seriousness and the
horror of the situation
To every woman and every con-
sumer in the State, appeal to do your
utmost in the saving of the food pro-
ducts named. This is an individual

dividual. The responsibility is indi.
vidual and no single person can escape
the responsibility that is imposed
upon them In this matter. We have
ample feodstvffs aside from those de-
sired by the government for export

WHAT TEACHERS
CAN DO TO CONTROL
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
Law Regards the Teacher an I'm
portant Agent in Disease Con-

tBy w. A. McPHAUL, County Health
Officer.)
Nothing so destroys the efficiency
OF work at school as contagious dis
eases among the pupils. It is no won
der that teachers refer to outbreaks
OF measles, whooping cough, diphthe-
ria, and other diseases in their schools
as denominations, for nothing else so
cripples their work, handicapps their
pupils, and makes teaching burden
as the continued presence of illness
in school.
Children who remain at home on
account of sickness several days or
weeks not only lose so much time and
instruction while away from school;
they return to carry a double burden
in attempting to catch up with back
work, and do this with a weakened
body and lessened vitality. 1t is un-
der just such conditions that little
bodies often break down, and an ed
ucation becomes impossible. Further
more, the whole class suffers. Oft
entimes it is held back or turned back
to accommodate those kept away on
account of sickness. Teacher and pu-
pill are both handicapped.
The teacher is now regarded in the
light of the new State quarantine law
as necessary agent in the control
of contagious disease. While she
is required by the law to comply with
several rules in the event of case OF
a contagious disease in her school
these requirements are no more than
the precautions she would otherwise
want to take for the good of her
school and the health of her pupils
BY taking these precautions, suggest
ed in the law, it is often possible fol-

Some fifteen years ago they decided
to retire from their tactive farm life
and moved to Kiron to spend the re-
mainder OF their days and enjoy the
we'll earned rest. Mr.. and Mrs. Erick-

early development of this settlement,
at all times taking deep interest and
active part in all uplifting and ad-
vancing projects. They have many
"reminiscences to relate OF
their pioneer days. Many of them
relative to the hafdships encountered
by them and other pioneer settlers in
their efforts to establish homes. Both
are respected and esteemed members
of the Kiron Baptist church, Mr..
Erickson being one Of the few remain
ing charter members.
Those who gathered at their home
to participate in the event were Mr..
and Mrs. G, S. Johnson and family

and roses. After an instrumental
duet by their daughter. Mrs. @. s.

by reading the congratulations and
kilograms from friends and relatives.
The honored couple were the recip-
tents of two fine presents from their
children, fine gold watch and chain
was presented to Mr.. Erickson and
solid gold spectacles to Mrs. Erick-

be blessed with good health and live
to enjoy many more years Of welded

With Boone That Team Claiming
the State Championship

! Another victory was cinched by the
Denison high school football team on
Friday afternoon when they defeated
the fast Harlan high school eleven
by a score of 80 to O.. Although the
game was played on the Harlan grid
iron with a host Of rooters backing
them, the plucky Denison aggrega-
|tion proved themselves the master of
the situation at all stages OF the
game. zE,.
The Harlan boys outweighed the
|Denison team considerably, but with
this advantage they were no match
for Voss' warriors A frozen field
made forward passes most difficult
and Denison depended mostly on end
runs for their gains. 1t was good
iclean game throughout.
Rollins made a spectacular end run
which netted him 80 yards and Sag
gau plunged down the field for q fine
gain of 40 yard and was not doWned
until he had planted the pigskin with
in foot of Harlan's goal line and Of
course the goal was made with the
next down. Moeller at right guard
played an exceptionally good game
and succeeded in playing havoc with
Harlan's interference. Hagedorn.s
line plunging was feature Of the
game Also All of the Denison boys
played we'll and not once did they per-
nit their opponents within striking
distance of their goal line.
The lineup used by Coach Yoss
was as follows: Norelius, center;
Brodersen, left. tackle; Moeller, right
guard; Smith, left guard: Lorenzen,
right tackle; Rollins, right end; Sag
gau, Ed. left end; Weiss and Bos-

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE ITALIAN FRONT, Oct. 2e-The
allied armies--Italy, British, French,
Italians and Americans-know, that
the Germanic peace proposition is
nothing but an attempt at an ambus-
cade. But few short weeks ago the
kaiser declared that the war was duel
to the death between two conceptions
of life, the German conception and
the. Anglo-Saxon. The world knows
that the kaiser stated the truth. It's
fight between two forms OF govern
ment, one of which will live, the other
Twill die, unless the struggle ends in
q compromise. If it does so end the
goyernment by force has not been de-
stroyed and no nation is safe.
Twenty-four hours after Austria's
first proposal of peace, Italy was pla-
Icarded from Naples to the Piave with
pictures Of a man with a. monsters
face holding out the olive branch IN
one hand and concealed dagger in
the other. The monster man was lab
eled "Austria."
Later when the joint proposal from
the central powers was made, haming
posters greeted the eye on every ex-
posed wall denouncing 1t as trick to
gain time to remobilize their defeated
armies. l quote from the posters:

There's feeling prevalent among
the people of Europe, and it's growing
stronger every day, that has not found
official voice from any Of the allied
government. 1t is that there shall
be no conference whatsoever with the
central powers, and no cessation of

land Hapsburgs are dethroned and for
ever banished from Germany and Aus
tria. Indeed, it is the belief of many
in France and Italy that President
Wilson will ultimately make this de-
mand. Nothing else would so arouse
the fighting forces and the populace
of our European allies.
Here's a bit of Austrian propagan-
da: On the day following Austria's

ers were sent across the Piave river
into the American camp. They were
| told to tell the Americans and Italians
that the Austrians were retiring and
that they did not want to fight any

prisoners since the Austrian offensive
a year ago. They were half starved
and half naked. They were in no con-
dition to think straight and they came
into our camp believing there was to
be no more fighting.
