HUGE ORDER OF
POSTAL CARDS
postoffice Department Places Order
FOR 100000 Lbs. of Cardboard

The Champion Fibre Company of
Canton, n. c., has secured the U. >.
Government contract for 7,00O,'
600 pounds Of postal card cream bris-
toll board, for the use of the govern
mont for printing postal cards.
The postal board will be the first
finished product turned out at the
new paper mill, work on which is being
rushed to completion in order that the
company may start on the contract
the latter part Of April or the first
Of May.
This huge order, which means the
manufacture Of over six hundred mil
lion post cards for the use Of the Gov
crmcnt, will tax the capacity OF the
new mill for months.
The daily requirements are from
10000 pounds to 10000 pounds. The
postal card board is to be not less
than .009 and not more than .O1O Of
an inch thickness.
While some of the pulp turned out
by the company has heretofore been
used in the manufacture Of postal
cards elsewhere, the securing of the
contract and the ability Of the COM
pany to turn out the finished product
here in Canton is a long step in adj
vance and brings to a realization the
idea OF the company that it would
some day stand on it's own feet and
be independent Of other companies.
The new mill is also to turn out the
finest quality OF book and bond paper.
It will contribute materially to the
economical independence Of the South.
The company now makes three
kinds Of wood pulp-soda, sulpiite
and sulnhate as we'll as contajner
board. The company was the first in
the world to produce tannin extract
in powdered form and this extract. is
now being shipped all over the world
In addition there is caustic soda, tur
pentine and "Bindex Extract" mat
erial which is meeting with wonder
ful success as road binder and is the
only satisfactory material so far
found to bind sand and gravel clay
roads and prevent dust.
The government postal card contract
secured by the company assured the
continued growth and prosperity of
Canton. While it has been felt that
the new mill would unquestionably be
a decided asset to the company and TO
the town, it is in the nature Of a pleas
ant surprise that it is to start out
with more orders than it can fill for
months.

which he said were probably well
known:
J. The proximity Of Washington,
n G. having population over tne-
half that of the State of Virginia.
And the records show chat over 20 per
cent of all chancery cases there,
though they have but one ground for
divorce. are divorce cases, and Judge
Moncure said he thought the sensa-
t;onal newspaper could therefore find
at home the character of news it
seemed to delight in.
. The soldier marriages, where
soldiers returning to their distant
homes left wives who wanted to be
frae hut dcsertion being no ground for
d;vorce in the District OF Columbia,
and three wears since the war being
passed, the person wishing divorce
naturally came to convenient local

.lso with the large crowd of war
workers formerly in Washington and
tho COSMOPOLITAN and office holding
population of Washington.
a Also the large shipyard floating
nonulation and the torpedo plant had
contributed their quota, especially the
shipyard.
s People native to the city.
C. People coming here but a short
time from other parts of the State.
Judge Moncure stated that the large
divorce rate here was no new thing

published long before he went on the
bench show. That practically all the
legal business of the city is in his
court, and although the Circuit Court
formerly had many cases, yet IN the q
months he has been on the bench not
over 25 cases of all kinds have beer
tried in that court. and part of these
he had transferred to it. He also
stated it was obvious that Alexandra

Judge Moncure went on the bench.
Judge Moncure also called atten
lion to the fact that if Stuart wa:
sincere in locking on his court as
divorce mill, yet he-Stuart tried t
get ground all the grist ne could get
and since investigation by the judge
outside of the record of his case!
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-03-09

Stuart did not seem at all careful
about his grist.
Judge Moncure said the common
sense of the community knows no ir-
regular case could come up before
him unless some lawyer was irregular,
but called attention to Stuart's form
er testimony in which Stuart said
that he, Stuart was not interested in
the divorce situation, nor was he max
ing charges against any lawyer, but
that he was solely after defeating
Judge Moncure.
Judge Moncure also called atten-
ton to the fact that neither Stuart
nor the Washington newspaper had
pointed out and sustained single case
of irregularity.
Judge Moncure in passing comment
on the issues of the Washington news
paper, called attention to their SEN
sational headlines and scandal news
generally, and sarcastically asked if
this was an eleyating influence, and
specifically referred to numerous
false statements and propaganda 1T

every reflecting man tremble

PREVENTION is BEST REMEDY

White scours in calves and pigs Is
caused by infection; virulent colon

ment of infected pigs, is not promis-
ing; the main thing is prevention. Do
not feed too heavy a grain ration for
a period of two weeks before farroW-

with a light ration of corn or barley,
and be sure to provide opportunity for
exercise. However, these things are
of little consequence after infection
appears Keep your sows with little
pigs on the ground, in individual hog
houses. This will be safer than keep
ing them in the same old pens, which
may still be infected. These hog
houses should be kept out in field
and well scattered. This gives oppor-
tunity for exercise and lessons the
danger of infection. Provide small
amount of litter or bedding for each
house. Use disinfectants freely.-Vet-

THANK YOU" she interrupted, her
voice cold. 81 don't think I'd trust
your sagacity very far, Robert. Good

She turned from him and was gone,
dancing through the great rooms like
a true Columbine.
Midnight neared, and brought con-
Germ to many; the Midnight Masquer
had gained his name by invariably
appearing moment or two before the
stroke of twelve. joachim Fell, who
divided his time between enjoying the
smoking room and wandering about
among the masquers, perceived that
Joseph MaiIlard was watching the
time with anxiety.
A large man, stern and bit scorn-
ful of look Naillard was imposing
rather than handsome. He appeared
the typical banker, efficient, devoid of
all sentiment Amused by the mans
evident uneasiness, joachim Fell kept
him In view while the moments
dragged. One might have thought
that the little gray man was studying
the fnancier as an entomologist
studies a butterfly on pin.
Shortly before twelve Columbine
pirouetted up to Fell and accepted the
arm he offered her. They were for
the moment alone, in a corner Of the
ballroom.

The courthouse lawn in Ebert coun-

were at their best. 4 week later four
more were added to the flock.
The ewes were changed from one

pleasant surprise, Maiiiard? You'd
given me up, eh?"
For an instant no one spoke. Then
Maillard moved slightly, moved his
hand toward a button set in the wall
uear the safe. The voice of the ban
dit leaped out at him like thin steel:
"Quiet, you fool! If you touch shat
button"
MailIard stiffened, and gripped the
table edge with his shaking hand.
The bandit bowed slightly, and ad.
dressed the gathering in a tone of dry
raillery:
1.-THE rights of property are to me
far more sacred than human life;
there I agree with the law. So, gen.
tlemen kindly empty your pockets on

'The jeweled scarfpins which you re-
ceived as favors this evening may be
added to the collection; otherwise, |

sions. No watches, thank you. Mall

The banker could not but obey. His
hands trembling with fear and rage,
he took from his pocket a wallet, and
emptied a sheaf Of bills upon the
table. One after another, the other
men followed his example When 1t
came his turn, joachim Fell drew a
single bill from his pocket, and laid
1t down.

bandits white teeth flashed In a
smile. "He is a modest man, this at

assure you But come, Mr.. Fell, I'll
not betray YOU"
Jachin Fell obviously did not appre-
ciate the pleasantly. His shy and won
dering features assumed set and
hardened look.
"Whoever you are he responded,
a subtle click of anger in his tone,
s'you shall be punished for this !"
"For what, Mr.. Fell? For knowing
too much of your private atfairs?"
The bandit laughed. "Fear mott am
only an amateur at this game, for
tunately! So do your worst, and my
blessing upon you! Now, gentlemen,
kindly withdraw few PAGES. All but
you, Maillard; I'm not through with
you yet"
The automatic pistol gestured; I'M
der it's menace everyone obeyed the
command, for the calm assurance Of
the bandit made it seem extremely
likely that he would use the weapon
without conjunction. The men with
drew toward the far end of the room,
where a word from the aviator halted
them. Maillard remained standing
where he was.
The Masquer advanced to the table
and gathered the heap of money and
scarfpins into the leathern pocket Of
his coat. During. the process his gaze
did not waver from the group of men,
nor did the threat of his weapon lift
from the banker before him.
"Now, Maillard," he quietly ordered,

Maillard started.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

DO not lose sight of the good high
grade coal-tar dips, which are certain
ly valuable when applied according to
directions.
Shade and a wallow for hot weather,
and wood ashes, charcoal and other
stomach rectifers, are necessary if the
hogs are expected to do their best.
When pigs are forced to get what
they can at the same trough as their
mothers they are crowded and soon
stop trying to eat there.
Both growing pigs and sows need
plenty of clean drinking water, which
should be kept before them all the
time, not pumped at intervals.
The best development of pigs takes
place on pasture because of the bone
and muscle-producing quality of forage
crops and because of the exercise
which the pigs receive in the pasture.
