The following communication
from the United States food admin
istration, Washington, to the mem
bers of the United States School
Garden Army emphizes ihe real
need of continuation Of the work
carried on so successfully last year:
"The work that you have done
during the past months OF war has
been no small contribution to the
great cause OF humanity. The actual
food produced in your garden was
OF material help by making possible
a saving OF staple foods available
for exports to our men abroad and
the allies, thus giving them just that
much more Of the food so vital to
them. The growing OF supplies for
local use was also a definite assist
ance in relieving the strain upon our
railroads, The example set by you
in your undertaking has stimulated
and inspired others to produce
where they had not produced be-
fore. 1t would be a matter OF re-
grct if this work should not 90 on.
Americas food obligation to the
stricken countries is great and al
fords no less an opportunity to help
than during the past season"

VICTORY FLOUR GOES
TO THE GOVERNMENT

Russell Brown, food administrator
for Carter county, has succeeded in
getting rid of all the Victory flour
lett in this county. The government
induced many dealers in Ardmore to
lay i'll a supply OF this flour, putting
the proposition up to them as pa
triotic duty and now that there is no
longer need for the people conhning
themselves to the use of this kind Of
flour, it felt in duty bound to relieve
the dealers of the stocks they had on
hand.
Mr.. Brown had the dealers get it
all together, and shipped at one
time. There was enough to make a
carload and he was instructed to
ship it to Yukon, where there will
be representative OF the govern
ment to receive it and prepare it
for shipment overseas. He made
draft Tor the payment OF the money
coming to the dealers for the flour.
totaling $2,230.80

BISHOP FINDS IN LIVY
PRECEDENT FOR HUNS
SURRENDER OF VESSELS

London, Dec. 27.-(Correspond-
encc of the Associated Press. y
The Bishop of Durham has found
an historical precedent for the sur
render of the German fleet in the
pages Of Livy. That ancient
chronicler tells now, as an article
of the peace agreement which end
ed the second Punic war, Carthage
had to surrender to Rome the
whole OF her battle fleet.
Rome, the article points out, was
the great military power and Car
thage was the great naval power
of antiquity, just as Germany and
England in modern times. Rome
beat Carthage--the soldier beat
the sailor. In the conflict Rome
revealed an extraordinary adapta-
bility for naval warfare, and Car
thagc grave internal weakness.
"The German writers" the Man
chester Guardian comments, AN
ticipated similar course for a war
between Germany and England.
They were confident that the Ger
man military mind applied to naval
warfare would prove its superiority
to the English and that England,
put to the test would be proved
rotten--a great Illusion
Explaining why the parallel OF
antiquity was deceptive, the Guar
dian proceeds:
"T should not too hastily be as
sumcd that the British Navy dis
played an intellectual superiority
from long tradition which no
young navy could hope to over
come. We are on safe graund il
we say that the German navy, un-
like the navy OF ancient Rome,
showed itself singularly wooden
and unadaptable. Sir David Beatty
has pronounced its strategy and its
tactics contemplate.
"If the comparison OF Germany
with Rome was false, still ialser
was the comparison of England
with Carthage. Carthage was a
narrow. oiigarchy resting upon a
peculiarly harsh slave system, and
defended by a mcrcenary army re-
cruited from all the Mediterra-
mean peoples. Carthage's lack OF
freedom was her weakness and .
England's freedom her strength. |
But gentlemen OF the school OF
Treitschkc could not be expected .
to see that, for they despised poll
tical freedom"

SIMPLICITY IN SHOE
TYLES IS PROMISED
BY NATIONAL DEALERS

St. Louis Mo-, Jan. 9.-Simplicity
in shape as well as in color will be
the predominating style in footgear
for the coming season, big dealers
declared at the convention OF the
National Shoe Retailers Associa-
ton.
Styles will conform largely to the
standards set by the War Industries
board, ior shoe manufacturer had
advanced far into the output OF
1919 goods when the government
lifted shoe regulations.
Many OF the postwar problems
were taken up at the initial session
OF the eighth annual convention,
which is the largest gathering OF
manufacturers, jobbers, wholesale
and retail shoe men ever assembled.
The association has determined TO
hold styles Tor the coming season to
rigid simplicity and few colorS, it
was stated. The style committee rec
commended not more than three
tones of brown, two shades OF grey,
and the black and white. The height
of the high shoes is not to exceed
s II inches Lace will be the pre-
yailing mode.
For spring wear oxfords and
pumps will predominate Oxfords
will serve for both street and dress
wear. Women's shoes will have low
heels OF l IL inches and high heels
of rs to ? Is inches.
Besides a display OF modish foot
wear there will be an exhibit OF
shoes covering the period from be-
fore the Christian era up to the
present.

TWO JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE APPOINTED

The county commissioners have
appointed two justices OF the peace
to fill vacancies, one in Hewitt town
ship, and one in the city OF Wilson.
The man elected in Hewitt town
ship as justice OF the peace, resigned
and labored under the impression
that he could name his successor.
The commissioners had a petition
signed by large number OF citizens
to appoint w. r. WiSeman of Join
er City and did so. Mr.. Wiseman
had formerly been justice of the
peace in that township and was
considered by the commissioners a
good man for the place.
There had been two candidates for
justice Of the peace in Wilson town
ship and pending the election, the
town OF Wilson had an election and
incorporated as a city and became
entitled to a justice OF the peace.
There was some dispute over the
nomination but in the general cleo
ton the name of one OF the candi-
dates in the primary was placed on
the ticket at the November election
and he claimed to have been elected.
1t appears there was another claim
ant for the office and the PROPOSE
ton being placed before the county
attorney he decided that there had
been no election for the office, but
that a vacancy existed in the city
OF Wilson and advised that the com
missioners appoint a justice Of the
peace. N. c. Tiser was appointed.
Both OF the justices appointed
have made their bonds, taken the
oath and been inducted into office.

considerable time, there will be meas
ures of such Importance as to neces-
state long and arduous sessions. If
they are to be acted upon before the
approaching campaign admonishes ad-
journment, the Senate will have to
work early and late to give them the
adequate attention their vital weight
demands.
One of these is the bill to decide
upon a definite military policy for the
government, the establishment of a
Regular Army restricted in size and
proposing universal military training
for the youth of the land. AS there
are sharp differences of opinion in the
executive branch over these subjects,
so there will be differences of judg-
ment among legislators requiring ad-
justment in the end through con-
ference committee of the two houses
and subject finally to executive ap-
proval.
The Senate will be called on to pass
upon the House bill to regulate the
merchant marine, dispose of the gov
. ernment- built ships and generally to
protect and extend the merchant ship
ping service. Along with it will be
collateral Legislation to encourage en-
listment of young men in the mer-
chant service.
The food problem will have to be
taken up by the Senate. The House
has already passed a bill to regulate
cold storage, prevent boarding and
punish deception in cold storage prod
! ucts. The Senate will have before it
the Kenyon and Kendrick bills to reg
ulate the cattle and meat packing in
dustries, both measures certain to
provoke long debate and intense
