CHEAP NITRATE
OFFEREDBYU.S.
Limited Supply Of Left
Over Stock Ready For
Farmers

The Department of Agriculture
has about 100 tons of nitrate of
ooda in storage at Wilmington, N. c.,
left over after spring deliveries were
made. In order to avoid further
storage charges this nitrate will be
sold during the next thirty DAYS.
Farmers who desire to secure guam
ti+y of this nitrate for immediate de-
livery from Wilmington should file
A written application at once with
the county agricultural agent. The
price of this nitrate will be $58 per
ton of 1000 pounds, or $3.50 per
2OO-pound bag, fob. Wilmington,
N. C. Each application should show
the name of applicant, the quantity of
nitrate desired, and the point to
which shipment should be made, and
should be placed in the hands of the
county agricultural agent, accom-
panied by New York draft or cash
ier's check in payment for the nitrate
made payable to "Disbursing Clerk,
Department of Agriculture" AS soon
as the application, together with draft
or check in payment for the nitrate,
is received by the county agent, it
will be examined and forwarded at
once to Washington. After applica-
tons and remittances are received
in Washington the nitrate will be or
dered shipped direct to applicants,
freight charges collect. All appli-
cations should be made in terms of
tons or tenths of tons.
The supply of nitrate on hand at
Wilmington is limited and applica-
tons will be filled in the order they
are received. Money in payment for
nitrate will be returned promptly to
farmers whose applications arrive too
late to be honored. No application
will be honored unless accompanied
by New York draft or cashiers check
properly made out for the correct
amount.
The supply is limited, and it will
be necessary for farmers to get in
their orders with cashiers checks at
once. See Geo. o. Marshall this week,
and make the necessary arrangement.

that the child might have been injured
the two men went to investigate and had
no sooner left the barn than the whole
tree was blown over They were rescued
by their fellow workmen. The ell of the
Hebert house had a hole smashed through
the roof by the falling limb. Other dam

Gipsy LANGUAGE.

The language of the Gipsies, Ro-
many, is said to be Hindoo dialect
derived from Sanskrit Ethnologists
pretty we'll agSec that the Gipsies are
descendants of an obscure Hindoo
tribe. The popular belief that Gipsles
are descendants of the Egyptians has
no other basis than the similarity of
the two words. The word Gypsy" as a
matter of fact, is from the Bohemian.
and means 'vagahond." The first Clip
sizes appeared in England early in the
sixteenth century. but were found in
easterni Europe at least two centuries
earlier. They are now scattered all
over the world.

UNITED MINE
WORKERS m SESSION
Want Coal Mines ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Demand SIKH Hour Day and Five
Hour Week and More PAY.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 9.-Approx-
imately 1000 delegates from this coun-
try and Canada were here for the open
ing today Of the biennial international
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America, the largest of Ameri-
cas- trade unions The convention is
expected to remain in session for two
weeks or more.
The principal matters to. be decid-
ed are the demands to be made on the
coal operators affecting wages, hours,
and conditions of labor. For the past
two years miners have been working
under a contract made in Washington
in November 1917. which was to last
until March 3 L. 1920. or ,"until the ex-
piration of the war; The miners will
consider the war ended when the SEN
ate ratifies the peace treaty.
According to William Green, interna-
tional secretary treasurer of the organ
ization, the wage and hour demands, al
though subject to change, are substan-
tally: A six hour day instead of the
| eight hour day; a fve-day week instead
of six and an increase in wages of from
| 25 to 40 per cent. - We arc forced to
| demand shorter hours and a shorter
| week because of the unemployment at
the mines, Mr.. Green said.
| Miners are now paid certain sum
for. every ton of coal mined. Opera
tors have claimed that miners can make
Sl5 a day. Union officials assert, how.
ever, the average counting time OF
layoff-will not run more than Sc {
/ day. Other help are paid by the day
/ generally, the wage running from ST.;
i up to 50 day.
i A joint scale conference between rep
resentatives of miners and OPERATOR
of the central competitive field, includ
ing Ohio, Illinois Indiana and Western
Pennsylvania. will be held Immediate
i ly following the miners convention, t.
consider the new wage scale. mas
much as the district is the most i'm
portant in the country, its rate us
ually governs the country, with modif
cations due to local conditions.
j, Another matter of Importance to b
brought before the convention will b
. the naturalization of the mines. How
ever, this is merely question of gen
$ eral policy, according to Secretar
Green. and is not a demand.

GOLD CHEAPER NOW
THAN 2 CENTURIES AGO

Deadwood, S. D., July 5.-The low
price of gold is worrying mining men
IN the Black >H.lls and a petition is
being circulated to urge congress "to
do something about it,"
For nearly 200 years, there has not
been any change in the price of gold.
according to local financiers and
miners. More than 1000 signatures
have been attached to a petition
which is to be sent to the South Da.
kota congressional delegation. The
chief request is that the price for
gold be increased from $2067 to $50.
During the war the gold industry
was hit hard because of the high
prices paid for silver, copper and
other metals. Expert miners left the
gold districts because other mining
companies were able to pay much
higher wages. 1t is claimed that ex-
ploration companies have refused to
spend money for new work until a
price adjustment is made. The out
put in the Black Hills for the past
year has been unusually small.
