BIG TOBACCO PLANT
FOR ROCKY MOUNT

Rocky Mount, Aug. 25.-More than
a quarter of a million dollars will be
spent in the erection of a new plant
and outlying buildings within the
next few months by the China-Ameri-
can Tobacco and Trading Company,
according to an announcement made
by j. o. w. Gravely, president of that
corporation, at its home office on this
city yesterday.
Work has already been begun on
the new plant just back of Braswell
Park, and every effort will be made
to rush it's completion so that occu-
pancy may be made by the first of
the year. This structure itself, for
which the foundations have been fin
ished and work is now progressing on
the walls will represent an outlay of
$250,000, while Immediately outlying
buildings will entail an additional
expenditure of $4,000.
The proposed building, which is
for the exclusive use of the one cor
poration. will give that concern, to-
gether with its present and original
plant in the city, storage capacity for
1000 hogsheads of tobacco. This to-
bacco, after the nature of the firm S
business is exported to all parts of the
world, the corporation already having
large offices and plants in New York
Hongk ong, Shanghai, and Kobe Japan.
Mr. GraVely has recently returned
from Europe and has promises for a
big business with countries there.

GERMANY'S DEFICIT
IN HER FOOD SUPPLY

Berlin, July 22.-(Correspondence
| of the Associated Press. 1.-The Ger
man deficit in food, the difference be-
tween the amount produced In Ger
many and Germary's normal needs,
amounts to 100000 tons of wheat,
one million tons of meat and one mil
lion tons of fats. say the Imperial
food ministry.
Immediate payment for these nee
essary foodstuffs with inland re-
sources is unthinkable, the ministry
asserts. Only long term credits can
help and the acceptance of such cred
it's is only possible if Germany works
for only then can the creditors have
confidence in paying ability Of Ger
many.
Immediate decisive effect Of the re-
moval of the blockade on the German
food market is not expected by the
ministry but rather long slow con-
tinuation of Improvement which al
ready makes itself felt. 1t declares
that control OF export must remain
until the average between import and
export has been established
Germany must make up its mind to
do without coffee very largely in the
future, says the Imperial commissioner
for colonial goods.
Authorities say Germany must
sharply restrict her imports Of choco-

FALSE PROF|TEER|NG
PROPAGANDA CURRENT
Investigation Reveals There is
No Truth in RumOrs Cir
culated in This City.

For week or more Winston Salem
merchants have been considerably
disturbed by ''prot1teering propa-
ganda" which has been prosecuted in
many sections of the city, the evident
intention being to stir up a feeling
that the local people were being rob-
bed. AS a sample of this propaganda
! it is being asserted that in one case
purchaser went into department
store and bought a woman-s evening
dress for SIS, then making a demand
upon the merchant to show his in
voice. The merchant refused, so the
story goes, whereupon the customer
drama tically threw back the lapel OF
his coat showing the badge OF
| United States secret service agent.
1t has been further related that the
merchant was thus compelled to pro-
duce the invoice which showed that
he had bought the dress for very
small sum. The story gains many
frills and touches as 1t goes from
mouth to mouth but the substance is
practically the same.
The stories that are floating around
so wildly include not only department
stores, but also clothing and shoe
stores, each tale being Identical in
the main points. AS matter OF fact
Sentinel representative has made a
rather exhaustive investigation or the
rumors-many of which are related
as actual facts-and it has been
definitely proven that no government
, agent has been in the vIty as far as
store proprietors or managers know.
Certainly no such person has made
himself known nor nave there been
any demands for production of in
voices showing cost prices. OF course
all sensible people know prices are
high but the merchants Of this city
would welcome any investigation as
they are a unit in the belief that
prices in Winston-Salem are as low,
or lower, than in any city in the
South. U. S. Commissioner Becker
dte states that so far as he knows
there have been no representatives
Of the governments here working
along this line.
The circulation of the false stories
regarding alleged "protiteering" in
this city is being investigated by sew
eral of the merchants whose names
are being most prominently men
tionad and 1t is hoped to trace them
to their source in order that protec-
ton may be given the men whose
business is being thus attacked.

DOUGLAS -TREADWELL CHAPTER
 OF AMERICAN RED CROSS

to the going down of the sun, SO that what they had prepared was like the sands of the sen for mum bor. And Che word went forth. "Wo shall restore health unto thee and will heal thee of thy wounds"
 And those again who were skilled with thc needle said one to another. Let us make divers garments for those who are wounded" They gave heed unto an tho statutes and thc commandments and they made garments, some such as our fathers wore and others such as no man had seen, either in Che heavens above or tho earth beneath or the waters under tho earth. Some had a sleeve upon one side and were like unto 9 tent on the other. Some were tied with many tyings 80 that man might fear lest they be a snare unto him.
 Now from out the land where the hcathcn ragged and rainod snarcs, fro and birthstone, came the cry from tho widows and the fatherless: "Wherc withal shall we be clothed?'' Within those who wore the Red Cross their hearts were troubled and they said "Wo will be Che helpers of the fatherlcss and will clothe those who are without rai- mcnt." They sought wool and flax and wrought willingly with their hands; they brought swaddling cloths and an manner of garments. The nations of the earth bear wit mess. "We were naked and ye clothed us."
 Now that the seed time and thc harvest is past and Che time for the numbering of the tribes is at hand, those who have borne the burden and heat Of the battle send to those who have wrought at home the mes sage. Well done. good and faithful servants" Mrs. John II. Powell.

GARMENTS

It came to pass that wicked kings and princes gathered together their armies and sent them against those who dwelt peacefully beside them Go destroy them. They cncompassed the cities: they tore them asunder with missiles; they burned them with fire. They smote the people with the sword.
 Now when the armies wore hard pressed and many were sorely wounded. the women and the men, who abode at home, and went not forth Co battle looked upon one on- other and said: Shall your brethren go Co war and shall ye sic here?' And they gathered themselves to- gether and they chose for themselves captains. wise men and women and those skilled in an things.
 From the nocks they shoared the Heeces and with needles Of steel and twigs of bamboo they wrought cum ningIy SO that the feet of the war riors might be eascd on the march. Wherever two or three were gath cred together there was knitting also.
