This unusual enterprise comprising the services of fifty men, all engaged for their particular gifts and talent is pronounced the final word in burnt cork torn foolery.

Jd^ WELL KNOWN MAN OF KERNERSVILLE PRAISES "DRECO*51 Gas on Stomach, Pa His. Burning. Choking Sensation, Headaches and Kidney Trouble Relieved by the New Root and Herb Medicine. People suffering from gastritis, headaches, constipation, pains in the back and limbs, catarrh, rheumatism, nervousness, poor appetite, unsound sleep, and .other troubles caused by n deranged stomach, sluggish liver or we?k kidneys have found great relief by taking Dreco, the great system tonic made from the juices an<l extracts of many different roots, herbs barks and berries. That this is true is proven by the. signed statement from responisble persons risrht here in nnr nron orvintrv nitv. For in stance, the statement made by Mr. tV O. Branson, a well known and highly respected Guilford Co. man who reticles near Ker ersville. In telling hi? experience he said: "I read so much about the new medicine Dreco I de <Mded to try it. but I had tried so many different medicines that I had lost faith in them all. -But this Dreco i-8 different from the others and the first few doses helped me and soothed my -+omarii. I have taken one bottle and want to buy three more now for I have great fatih in it. It's the only lioo macorl mv stnmflp.h taw*rv juUfO VWVJVU ?? ? and stopped the gas. I eat anything I want now and never have f*at full up feeling nor the burning. "My kidneys are also much better and I don't have to get up during the n*ght as I formerly did. Dreco is line and I am glad for you to publish my case' for it may help some one else get well, who reads it." What could be more convincing than the statement of well known people rierht here in the Tar Heel state? Tha owners of Dreco don't ask you to believe what they claim for it but what persons who have taken the medicina say. Doesn't that show an honesty of purpose? Dreco is sold by most good druggists ?.nd is particularly recommended in Newberry by Gilder and Weeks Co. i, Ti "flMltriTITJllTllHIBWPMTIIM M T-^ r 5"?I Forwarned Is .

Hog Producers and Pad sentatives of the Fooi Agricultural Depar 1 it n i r. new rian oi I In accordance with the policy of the tion to consult representative men in t of importance to special branches of tl i convened in Washington a meeting of Agricultural Advisory Board and the sp industry to consider the situation in the The conference lasted for three da: executive committee of the fifty packing for pork products and with the memben foreign pork purchases. r"* * -i? - ? vi me conclusions 01 me wuicicut? v The entire marketing situation has so changed since the September joint | conference as to necessitate an entire alteration in the plans of price stabilization. The current peace talk has alarmed the holders of corn, and there has been a price decline of from 25 | cents to 40 cents per bushel. The fact j that the accumulations of low priced corn in the Argentine and soutn Airi1 ca would, upon the advent of peace and liberated shipping, become'available to the European market has created a great deal of apprehension on the part of corn holders. This decline has spread fear among swine growers that a similar reduction in the prices of hogs would naturally follow. Moreover, the lower range of corn prices would, if incorporated in a 13-to-l ra-. tio, obviously result in a continuously ! falling price for live hogs. In view of these changed conditions many swine producers anticipated lower prices and as a result rushed their hogs to market in large numbers, and this overshipment has added to and riA f /lo/itino i ilggiavaicu iuc u^uuv. The information of the Department of Agriculture indicates that the supply of hogs has increased about 8 per cent., while the highest unofficial estimate does not exceed 15 per cent, increased production oveV last year. On , the other hand, the arrival of hogfc i during the last three \veek3 in the seven great markets has been 27 per cent more than last year, during the f corresponding period, demonstrating ; the unusually heavy marketing of the ' available supply. In th? face of the , excessive receipts some packers have i not maintained the price agreed last month. On the other hand, many | of the packers have paid over the , price offered to them in an endeavor to mairtfain the agreed price. The result in any event has been a failure , to maintain the October price basis j determined upon at the September con ference and undertaken by the pack- ( ers. Another factor contributing to , the break in prices during the month , has been the influenza epidemic; it , - - ? ^ - a has sharply curtailed consumption in pork products and temporarily decreased the labor staff of the packers about 25 per cent. The exports of 130,000,000 pounds of pork products for October compared with about 52,000.000 pounds in October a year ago, and the export orders placeable by the Food Administration for November, amount to 1(U,UW,UW pouilua as tuuuaoied with the lesser exports of ? 98,000,000 for November, 1917. The increased demands of the allies are ( continuing, and are in themselves ] proof of the necessity for the larjje ( production for which the Food Admin- j istration asked. The increase in ex- ( mort demands aDDears to be amply r I'm sufficient to take up the Increase in ] hog production, but unfavorable mar- g ket conditions existing in October af- j ford no fair index of the aggregate g supply and demand. ( It must be evident that the enor- j mous shortage in fats in the Central c .Empires and neutral countries would ? immediately upon peace result in ad- i I ditional demands for pork products r which, on top of the heavy shipments j to the Allies, would tend materially ( [to increase the American exports, in- < :asmuch as no considerable reservoir of t supplies exists outside of the United 'States. It seems probable that the t j present prospective supplies would be j i inadequate to meet this world demand t with the return to peace. So far as it ? is Dossible to interpret this fact, It ap- j ; pears that there should be even a t stronger demand for pork products e j after the war, and therefore any alarm t i of hog producers as to the effect of c peace fcs unwarranted by the outlook. In the light of these circumstances ( , it Is the conclusion of the conference r that attempts to hold the price of hogs e to the price of corn may work out to c the disadvantage of pork producers, o It is the conclusion that any interpre- t ' tation of the formula should be a t i broad gauged policy applied over a b ! lone Deriod. It is the opinion of the c I conference that in substitution of the e , previous plans of stabilization the Live Stock Subcommittee of the Agri- p cultural Advisory Board, together with a the specially invited swine representa- s< tives, should accept the Invitation of e: the Food Administration to join with h the Administration and the packers in p determining the prices at which con- ii willed pvnort nrders are to be Dlaced. n i,i ? - - r This will be regularly done. The in- t< fluence of these orders will be directed s< to the maintenance of the common object?namely, the stabilization of the f< price of live hogs so as to secure as far f< as it is possible fair returns to the b; IRKETS PLANNED I .

"Throw-outs" ; to be defined as pigs under 13C ( pounds, stags, boars, thin sows and skips. Further, that no hogs of anj kind shall be bought, except throw uuto, ai less man $io.ou per nunareo pounds. The average of packers' droves to be construed as the average of the total sales in the market of all hogs for a given day. Ail the above to be based on Chicago. We agree that a committee shall be appointed by the Food Administration to check the daily operations in the various markets with a view to supervision and demonstration of the carrying out of the above. rl1 V\s\ /\-P ? ? ? ? J.iic awnitj ui. uic IU carry out this arrangement will depend on there being a normal marketing of hogs based upon the proportionate increase over the receipts of last year. The increase in production appears to be a maximum of about 15 per cent and we can handle such an increase. If the producers of hogs should, as they have in the past few weeks, prematurely market hogs In such increas ing numbers over the above It is entirely beyond the ability of the packers to maintain these minimums, and therefoie we must have the co-opera- , tion ol the producer himself to maintain these results. It is a physical impossibility for the capacity of the packing houses to handle a similar jver-flood of hogs and to find a market for the output The packers are anxious to co-operate with the producers n mnintnJninr* a ernhili^otinn nf nH/?a 1 md to see that producers receive a fair < price for their products. (Signed) THOS. E. WILSON, { Chairman Packers' Committee. ] The plan embodied above was adopted by the conference. The Pood Administrator has appointed a committee, comprising Mr. Thomas 3. Wilson, chairman of the Packers' Committee; Mr. Everett Brown, jresident of the Chicago Livestock Exchange; Major Roy of the Food Adninistration, Mr. Louis D. Hall o? the ^ c ^ T? anf a !?a f V* a bureau ui muiiicid, LU unuu ICIRC mc ;upervision of the execution of the )lan in the various markets. Commisjion men are asked to co-operate in arrying out the plan embodied in the .; >ackers' agreement. It must be evllent that offers bv commission men to sell hogs below the minimum estabished above is not fair, either to the )roducer or the participating packers, tfr. Brown has undertaken on behalf >f the commission men in the United States that they will loyally support he plan. It is believed by the conference that his new plan, based as it is upon a >ositive minimum basis, will bring beter results to the producer than avertge prices for the month. It does not imit top prices and should narrow lie margins necessary to country buyers in more variable markets. It is' >elieved that the plan should work out 4ose to $18 average. Swine producers of the country will rontribute to their own interest by tot flooding the market, for it must be tvident that If an excessive over perentage of hogs Is marketed in any ne month price stabilization and coorol cannot succeed, and Jt is certain hat producers themselves can contri-j ute materially to the efforts of theonferences if they will do their mark-: ting In as normal a way as possible. ? The whole situation as existing at: resent demands a frank and explicitcsnrnnrp from the conferees reDre-: ented?namely, that every possible; ' ffort will be made to maintain a live- 3 og price commensurate with swine < reduction costs and reasonable sell-1 lg values in execution of the declared olicy of the Food Administration! ) use every agency in Its control to; scure justice to the farmer. 1 The stabilization methods adopted < )r NovemDer represent tne oesi ei>rts of the conference, concurred In * y the Food Administration and Jg* Jv??gtock Subcommittee of the Agricultural Advisory Board, together*' t'irh special swine members and th*epresentatives of the packers, to in??. rove the present unsatisfactory sito-^ tlon, which has unfortunately re^nlt-; d because of the Injection of uncon~ roll able factors.
