AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

President Wilson renewed his at
tack on free speech and freedom of
the press, which the Senate had re-
fused to curb in the "espionage" bill
which the president intended to grant
him dictatorial powers.
Same day he announced selection of
Herbert c. Hoover as food dictator of
the country, without pay. Hoover's
powers were limited at the time, how
ever, owing to the failure of Congress
to pass the necessary legislation, but
Wilson made a plea in his announce
ment asking the representatives and
senators to act quickly on food
measures.
The food bill-and the food admins
tration-faced a stormy fight in the
Senate. Senator Reed, Underwood
and Smith made speeches in which
they said that the power of handling
food should not be placed in the
hands of one man, that it should be
left to the dealers and farmers.

100000 BUSHELS
POTATOES BOUGHT
Surplus Commodities Board
Strives for Stabiliza-
ton of Prices

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. s.
Nearly 100000 bushels of Irish po-
tatoes were purchased from North
Carolina growers by the Federal Sur
plus Commodities Corporation in the
recent price-stabilizing program.
According to a tabulation sent
Dean T. o. Schaub, of State College,
81, 918 bushels were purchased direct
ly from farmers and 1878 bushels
of North Carolina potatoes were
bought at terminal markets in New
York and Philadelphia.
The purchasing program was in
stituted when it was seen that the
bumper crop of potatoes was Quitting
markets and beating prices down to a
level below the actual cost of produc-
ton, the dean said.
BY removing the surplus, the FSCC
strengthened the market and en-
abled growers to get letter prices for
their spuds, although the "bolstered
prices did not go quite as high as
growers wished.

The suggestions for fertilizing to-

the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, and

meets annually to study the latest
findings in tobacco research and use
these findings as a basis for making
recommendations for the next crop
year.
In the fertilizer recommendations,
it is pointed out that side-dressings
of potash in addition to the regular
fertilization will materially increase
yields in areas where tobacco has
been suffering from potash hunger"
The fertilizer should also carry two
per cent magnesia, it was stated. Lack
of magnesia in the soil causes leaf
crops to develop a trouble known as
sand drown"
Considerable attention is also given
to the control of blue mold, which did

 "No, he's not dead, but he's fled the country my lawyer has told me everything helped to get him away to keep him out of jail .. to think that my brothers son should stoop so low"
 "Oh, Miss Pegler," I whispered !. what else could I say?
 Wiping away her tears, Miss Peg Ter said, "You may as well know the truth perhaps I should have told you before; but I'm fond of my nephew and I felt if you were mar ried and he got a fresh start, things might have worked out all right.
 '"The trouble started when he was at college. He got in with a fast set started gambling .. my lawyer arranged the allow ance from his fathers estate and of course give him gifts from time to time however, he was always in debt then he met some crooks counterfeiters =. paid thirty dollars for a hundred dollars worth of bogus money.
 Things went from bad to worse till he could not afford to buy any more of the counterfeit money, so the man made deal with him and he was supposed to pay cer- tain percentage on every hundred dollars worth of counterfeit money he disposed of unfortunately he kept on gambling and got be- hind in his payments that was really when he left New York so gladly (though I had no suspicion of it at the time). I'm keeping mo- thing back from you"
 T think you're very brave, Miss Pegler," I said.
 Don't say that, my dear. But I must tell you the rest of this terrible story. digger, the man for whom Dick was working, had to take to cover and shortly after we arrived Dick ran across him here. After that he bounded him all the time if only Dick had told me everything I would have helped him. However, friend of his young designer - Roger, I believe he called him though I never knew his last name - warned him that Jigger's friend, Rocco, had planned to have him kidnapped as he was in desperate straits for money oh, there are so many angles to the whole thing, that I could talk to you for long enough. I don't know if can every forgive myself for urging you to marry him all I can do for you now, my dear, is to settle an income on you and, though he is my nephey and no doubt you lived him, there is only one thing to do-forget him.
 "Oh, Miss Pegler, you mustn't think ot giving me any money. You're not to blame all I hope is that Dick may yet make you proud of him"
 Walking home my spirits felt lighter than they had for many day. In spite of my grief for the old lady and her troubles, my heart was singing what she'd said about Rocco and Roger assured me Roger did not consider Rocco his friend, otherwise he would have aided and abetted him to kidnap Dick.
