Z Newspapers Are
Aiding Campaign
For An Increase
Needed In War Effort; Farm
ers Urged To Help N. c.
Reach Goal

Production of pulpwood to
manufacture products for vital
military and civilian war uses
must be increased by Is percent
in North Carolina during the Sc
cond six months of 1913 to meet
the War Production Board quota
for the state, the Newspaper
Pulpwood Committee of the
American Newspaper Publishers
Association announced this week.
This paper is cooperating in
the national effort to increase
production and urges the coop
Grafton of Ashe county people.
The quota for North Carolina,
an important producer. among the
major pulpwood states of the
Northeast, South and Lake areas,
is 739,200 cords for the year.
Production to June 80, as COM
puted by the WPB was 347, 143
cords, which is 22,457 cords Or 6
percent under the quota for the
first half of the year. Unless
392,057 cords are produced before
the close of the year, therefore,
North Carolina will fall short Of
its goal.
Government requirements for
pulpWood, the raw material for
making smokeless powder, rayon
for parachutes, plastics for air
plane parts, WeatherproOf con-
tainers for shipping ammunition,
foods, blood plasma and other
supplies for our armed forces and
allies overseas, as we'll as for
newsprint and other papers, have
been computed at 100000 cords
for 1913. From this overall fl
cure, quotas were set up by the
War Production Board for each
of the pulpWood producing states.
Donald NJ Nelson, WPB chair
man, emphasized the critical ma
ture of the emergency in an ap-
peal to the farmers of all produc
ing states to give three extra days
to the cutting of pulpWood in an
effort to avert "a threatened q,
0,000-cord shortage" this year.

Rabbits

California is. the leader in rabbit
production although no complete fig
ures for the nation are available. 1t
is known that in the Los Angeles
trade area, 100000 pounds of rab-
bit meat have been sold in one year.
The U. S. Rabbit Experiment sta
ton is located at Fontana, Calf.
where studies are being made in
breeding, fur and wool production
and marketing. Rabbit raising has
thrived in the West because the
mild climate permits open air
hutches.
Most of the income is made by
selling rabbits for meat. This
compares favorably with other
meats in protein. It has less
fat and costs less per pound than
expensive cuts of beef and lamb.
This country has imported an
average of nearly 81, 000, 900 pounds
of dressed rabbit pelts and it would
seem that there might be bright
outlook for selling furs and pelts.
Efficiency studies show, however,
that meat is the more dependable
outlet. Because of the cost of stock,
it requires more money to raise
rabbits than poultry.
California raises more Angora
rabbits than any other state.
Much rabbit wool is imported and
some California people have OBJ
tanned better price per pound
for wool when it was spun into
yarn at home and then sold to
department stores.

This means that eggs should be
gathered at least twice day and
kept in a clean wire basket I'M
til they are cool and ready for pack
ing. They should then be graded
as to size, putting the uniformly
small eggs, the medium ga ounces
to the dozen) and large ones in
separate containers. They should
also be candled, and sort out the
defective eggs.
Eggs should always be packed
with the pointed end down. If pack
ing materials have been used pre-
viously, care should be taken to
see that they are clean. Avoid wrap
ping eggs in newspapers.
Miss Murray recommends
that eggs be marketed at least
twice a week so that consumers
can be assured of fresh produce.

"I'm having more lively time, If
you could put it that way, than /
ever did," he says. II mean there
is so much excitement and enthu-
siasm in the camps that l get lift
myself. No one ever played to more
responsive and appreciative audi
ences than the soldiers"
By sports stopwatch, it's hard to
realize how long Hoppe has been at
the top. He has seen a generation
Of athletes shuttle on. As long ago
as the early twenties, writer point
ed out that cat 36, Hoppe is the
patriarch of the billiard world, the
survivor of the old school,"
This statement was made after
he pulled the first of his so-called
comebacks. He had lost the 1872
balkline title in 1921, title he had
held since 1912. Young Jake Schaef-
er beat him. A nervous ailment both
cred his shooting arm and he re-
tired for six months. Returning in
1922 he defeated Young Jake in a
five-way tournament which brought
Hoppe $500.
Hopes career goes back further
than his defeat of Vignaux. He was
far from unknown, even then. Willie
had toured the country in 1904 with
Old Jake Schaefer, and managed to
outclass ''The Wizard" quite con-
sistently. He was only eight when
he started to play the game in 1896.
Triumphant Return
Willie bowled the best of 'em ovel
when he came back from France
and whipped the 1871 title holder in
America. He beat George Slosson
(The Suddenly for $4,000 purse and
$500 side bet. Two years later
in 1908-he beat George B. Sutton,
500-272, in Madison Square Garden
for the 1872 world championship.
He then relinquished both titles be-
cause he objected to the conditions
governing play. In 1910, when the
rules were changed, he took back
both championships.
No one was able to catch Hoppe
from then on until Young Jake
caught up with his sore arm in 1921.
In 1923 Welker Cochran looked
good. He tied the old master, but
lost in playoff for the 1872. Six
months later Hoppe handed Cochran
a one-sided defeat worth more than
Sc, 500 to him.
The experts were ready to lay him
away again in 1925, when he fell on
the ice and his cue arm was badly
cut. The next year Young Jake
made it inevitable" again when
he won from Willie the 1871 title he
had taken from Ora Morningstar in
1912.
Ten years later, in 1896, Hoppe
captured the 1871 again, plus two
other titles-the cushion car0m and
the three-cushion for the first time.
Both Schaefer and Cochran were ON
the mourner's bench.

ISOLATION
This law is a fragrant challenge to the right
of free speech and it is perfectly obvious that it
will be declared unconstitutional, when and if it
breaches the Supreme Court of the United States.
But what amazes us is the type of habby
which would concoct and write into a
States statutes such cockeyed and mbecic act
Of tyranny which tlouts every semblance of democ-
lacy and fair play. What kind of Americans are
those Texas legislators that they would brazenly
waste their own time and the taxpayers money
ION egallzng such an aSsinine prohibition? 1t indi-
cateS that there are men in responsible positions
Of public trust who are so nalroW-minded and
downright Venal that they would vitiate the or
ganic law, the y. S. Constitution, Just to vent
their spleen against Organized Labor and its
members, the working classes who fought and
died to protect their class privileges and wealth
pm the exalted name of patriotism.
It's q fortunate thing for these Texas law
makers and their equally despicable masters, that
sanity and justice still prevails and rules in these
United States. Also that the tens Of millions Of
members Of Organized Labor can combat such
eCcentrictieS and can calmly employ legal means
to eXtirpate them, before irreparable damage is
done to our Democratic form Of government.

AN ADMIRAL ADVISES FELLOW DOCTORS

ADMIRAL Ross I. McIntre is surgeon general
Of the navy and also personal physician to
President Roosevelt. OF course, he stands high in
the medical profession.
Addressing an audience of physicians at Wash
ngton few days ago the admiral urged that the
doctors themselves "Work out some plan that
would allow no one TO suffer and at the same time
preserve the independence of the profession.'
He contended that the family PHYSICIANS fee
doesn't amount to two hootS" in medical case.
The main difficulty is that hospital and laboratory
charges are so high as to be beyond the reach Of
ordinary Americans. He expressed the greatest
confidence that if the doctors would approach the
subject with open minds scheme satisfactory
and fair to the profession and its patients could be
formulated.
The doctors should heed the admira's advice.
If they don't, "statc medicine" or whatever YOU
ike to call it, will be put over by a people deter
mined to secure decent medical treatment at a
reasonable price

DRAFT DODGER" UPROAR AGAIN

'E'iIE DEMOGOGlC uproar in Congress and other
places over alleged harboring of draft
dodgers IN government agencies has been reSunl-
Jed again, though not as loudly as earlier in the
year Then this paper pointed out that the issue
was largely synthetic and that no evidence had
been produced to show that government employ
ment was a haven for men seeking to avoid Undue
ton in the armed forces.
victim Of the uproar a few months ago was
Robert Nathan one of the most valuable produc-
ton planners in the War Production Board. He
was among others Signaed out for attack because
he was not in the Army, though he was obviously
unfit physically for military service. But he was
virtually forced into the Army by the camor.
Now, as his friends predicted Nathan has been
found not able to do military duty and it is re-
ported he will soon be out of uniform. But the
months in which he might have been boosting
vital production have been lost.
The whole draft dodger' camor is strongly
suggestive Of the noisy campaign over absentee
ISM in war plants. Fortunately that campaign
has been recognized phony and has largely
Subsided.
