SACK OF FLOUR
 NETS SlA,5l2
 FOR RED CROSS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3 (by As sociated Press) John D. McGilvary, potenate of Islam Temple of San Fran cisco, has just received the famous "Shriners' Red Cross Sack of Flour" started in Islam Temple in May, 1917, by Historian Clarence F. Pratt. The sack has travelled 5000 miles and vis- tied fourteen states, including Ohio, Alamaba, Iowa, Montana, Virginia, New Jersey, North Caro- lima Oklahoma, Tennessee, Michigan; i; the flour was sold in Honolulu, twice on the Pacific ocean and in California sales were held in San Francisco, Oak land, Fresno and Santa Rosa.
 The sack of flour has been sold times in fourteen states, with an aggregate sale of $134,512.84, which has been turned over to the Red Cross.
 The largest sale was held by the Oklahoma Shriners, their total being $86,675, and Islam Temple at San Francisco was second, with $2S,701.25. Oklahomas challenge to every temple in North America to pass their high mark was never met.
 The flour was booked and routed like a travelling theatrical company and on account of the long jumps the sack had to make to accommodate the different shriners' meetings and cere' it was necessary to do all the booking by telegraph from San Fran cisco.
 The sack was lost two weeks when it made the journey from Wyoming to New Jersey, but finally arrived at the Shrine Temple at Trenton one hour before the sale.
 Since the first sale in May 1917, Potentate McGilvary and Historian

ECONOMY SHOWN IN RAILROAD
 EXPENDITURES

ANCHORAGE, June ) Especial to Daily Times).-If the prices of rail- road material, supplies and equipment had not increased in the last four years, the cost of the governments railway in Alaska, completed, would not have exceeded $33,s74,563.32. The estimate in 1915 for the construction of the system was $35, 5,ooo,o00, so if no change had occurred since then in market conditions, the total outlay would have been less than the original calculation by $1,125,436.68.

 pleted financial statement q the
 outlay necessary to build the Sntire
 system on the basis of prices i1 1915,
 there are two things quite totice-
 able. One is saving of $350,04 that
 has been effected by the comn1ssion
 in using the coal produced at th4 Eska
 and Chickaloon mines. If the cdpmis-
 sion, instead of opening and opdating
 these mines, had bought in the ttates
 and shipped to Seward and Anc1,rage the coal 1t needed in constructi& and operation, it's expenditures would have been $35O,0OO in excess of what they are to the presenttime. The S'ther noticeable saving was affected the purchase of large quantity q sup, plies in 1917. If these supply. in. stead of having been bought one time in 1917, had been purcha4d at various times in 1917, 1918 and 1919, their cost, on account of the iising market during the war, would have been a great deal more than it a3ually was"

Chapel Hill, Oct. 2l.-For the
first time since 1905. when they
PLAYED a scoreless tie. the University
Of North Carolina and the North
Carolina state college of agriculture
and engineering will meet in foot
ball Thursday of this week at
Raleigh. The team has been primed
for this game since the beginning
Of fall practice and though 1t Will
enter the contest handicapped by in
iuries and by lack of weight. it Will
be ready for the renewal of foot
ball relations between the two state
institutions
The exact lineup of the Tar Heels
will depend on the condition OF the
injured men Barden ia out OF the
game certainty and Earl johnson the
veteran quarter, wrenched his foot
body in the Wake Forest game. and
will not be in shape to play. The
other injured men, Captain Coleman,
Spaugh. Pritchard. Cant and Cray
ton will all probably be ready to
play. If they are in shape. Camp
bell will start Cochrane and Proc
tor at ends, Harrell and Pritchard
guards, BIount at center, Pharr az
quarter and Coleman, Tenney, and
Spaugh in the backheld. Crayton at
end, Cant and Dortch at tackles,
Jacob at center and Lowe, Fear
rineton and Smith in the backfeld
are the most likely substitutes.
This will give the Tar Heels an
average weight of lfS. which is the
lightest team that has represented
the university in many years. The
Techs will have an eight pound ad-
vantage.
A great amount Of interest is at
tached to the game and the Carolina
student body will attend almost in
body. special trains having been
prepared and sections of the stands
reserved Although the Techs have
scored 25s points to u for Caro-
lima. there Is q quiet feeling Of CON
fidence on the Carolina campus that
Campbells men can play better foot
ball than their scores would indi-
cate and a close hard game is
looked for.
