Camp Site Condemned.

Raleigh.-The United States district
attorney filed petition in the district
court at Raleigh for the condemna.
ton of a large portion of the artillery
camp to be located near Fayetteville
and other proceedings will follow until
title to the property, containing 12O,,-
600 acres of land, is obtained.
It was learned that the filing OF
such petition for condemnation does
not indicate that the land owners are
not cooperating with the government,
but in order to get into immediate
possession of the property, the con-
demnation proceeding is necessary
and negotiations will continue be-
tween the land owners and the gov
eminent for the purchase of the prop
erty and as fast as purchases are
made the parties will be released
from the proceedings. If prices
are not agreed upon commissioners
will appraise the property. 1t seems
TO be certain that the camp to be
established in Cumberland and Hoke
counties is to be of great magnitude
and that the work will be pushed Wig

entire cost of paving the space be-
tween the rails and six inches on

OF aldermen after advice from Attor-
ney Jones Fuller, who had been

tracks and 10 inches on each side. He
argued that no previous board had the
right or authority to contract with the
traction company whereby the COM

l0WANS WILL GET
WHOLESOME BREAD
STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
DEEMS ENLISTS DAIRY COM.
MISSIONER BARNEY FOR
INSPECTION.

Inspection of all the bakeries Of the
state was begun a few days ago under
the supervision and direetion of w. B.
Barney, state dairy and food commits
sioner for Iowa, under direction of Ad-
ministratOr Deems.
Mr.. Barney has with him a corps Of
experts from the chemical division of
tho department OF agriculture at Wash.
ingtOn, who are assisting in making
the inspections and who will continue
t. do so until every bakery in the state
has been visited.
All bakeries were required under the
rules, to reach the full 20 percentage
of substitutes by February "a, but on
account of the shortage OF substitutes,
many of them could not do so, and
they were granted additional time.
However, the administration has now
notified all bakeries that there will be
no further extension, as substitutes
can now be obtained Any bakery
found baking bread with less than 20
per cent of the authorized substitutes
will be closed at once and its license
revoked.
In making the inspections, the per-
centage Of substitutes Is ascertained
and in addition the entire process used
in bread-making is carefully observed
The administration wants the peoples
bread to be wholesome, and the ex-
perts from Washington will give the
bakeries advice and scientific instruc-
tion in combining the substitutes so
that the very best results may be at
tanned.

PUBLICITY MUST BE RIGHT
Organization Is Needed for War
Chest Success.

SO extensively is the success of any
Community War service campaign de-
pendent on publicity, and so closely
should the entire program be inter-
! woven with propaganda features, that
/ 1t may be considered advisable to set
! forth development of the publicity
movement in one successful campaign.
In developing publicity work in con-
nection with War Chest campaign,
| two essentials were found of prime
! Importance:
First. A definite plan to be mapped
out in advance, adherence to which
should be strict.
Second. A definite and rather large
anization-depending on the size Of
the community-sO divided that one
person would be held completely re-
sponsible for each specific Job, but so
organized that single general ex-
ecutive would be in complete touch
with his work at all times SO that his
efforts might be correlated with the
general publicity and organization
scheme.
The publicity organization should
outline its plans and commence its
work of propaganda and education sew
eral weeks before the opening Of the
War Chest campaign proper. The pre-
liminary period should be devoted
largely to the development Of the
whole War Chest organization through
publicity. This should be done by
reporting in detail through daily and
special publications the meetings Of
the various committees and the steps
taken to build up the personnel Of the
general organization. "This is most
important in so large an organization,
as it not only impresses the COM
munity with the size and Importance
of the job but it impresses the indi-
vldual with the Importance of his indi-
vldual task and sets the community
and his personal friends to watching
him and checking his work."
The week Immediately preceding the
money raising effort should be re-
served almost exclusively to explain
ing details" of the War Chest plan to
the community. The ''cold-blooded,
logical statement Of reasons Why the
War Chest is the best plan for the
city, should be set forth in this period.
