GERMANS ADVANGMG
!H RUSSIAN COUNTRY
Like a great tidal wav\ the German
invasion of Russia rolls forward,
from Leal, in Ksthonia, the Russian
province on the south shore of the
Gulf of Linland, on the north of
Uovno, part of the famous triangle of
fortresses wh'Vh stood as a Muscovit
Bulwark in the early days of the war,
in the south, the Germans are still
-advancing. The Teuton's forward
movement lias taken the form of a
crescent, with its convex face towards
the heart of Russia. Minsk, which was
occupied Wednesday by German
troops, according to an official report
from Berlin, is at the extreme eastern
curve of the wave. The formal message
of surrender sent to the German
high command in Russia aftei
Berlin had refused to accept a capitu.
lation by wireless, has not as yel
been received, and it is probable thai
thcire will be no halting of the Ge;\
man invasion until Russia's abjec
acceptance of peace terms is in th<
hands of the German general staff?
possibly not then.
From the official reports emanating
from Berlin, it would appear that tin
Russians were not destitute of sup
plies with which to continue the wai
Dispatches received Thursday wer
to the effect that the booty capture*
at Rovno is enormous. Among th
items enumerated were 1,358 gun.

NO DATE SELECTED
FOR SECOND DRAFT
Government Unwilling to Disturb
Labor, Especially
on Farms.
Washington, Feb. 20.---Secretary
Faker authorized the statement today
that no date had been selected for
the beginning of the second draft.
Various estimates have placed the
time between March 1 and June 1.
These are declared to be entirely the
guesses.
The government's disposition noi
to disturb the labor situation, particularly
on farms, at the planting season
is one of the factors being considered.

go ahead with the second draft until
CVngress has perfected the law by
pending amendments to change the
basis of appointment and to authorize
the President to call into the military
service men skilled in industry
and agriculture, regardless of previous
classi fication.
The remaining increments o'l the
iiist draft will begin to move forward
to the camps b y 'lining thin
week.
It is probable that next month loe

The Phms.
Plans for the second draft as no.-,
under considerat ion include eallin.'

is complete. In that way, official 7

It has been definitely settled that
the first contingents will be used to
fill vacancies in national guard divisions
caused by the withdrawal of
men for the organizations of special

will have been filled by that time
from the final increment of the first
draft.
fiAlOMEL SALIVATES^
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
da.y's work.
I
There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calomel
when a few cents buys a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone a perfect
substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
I surely as calomel, but it doesn't ma ice
you sick and can no't salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
i perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous dvug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a deso of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated
tomorrow. Don't lose a day's
work. Take a snoonful of Dodson's
I " I
Liver Tone instead and you will wake!
up feeling great. No more biliousness,

Red Cross To Enter
New Field Of Service In,
Army Camps Of America |
? i
At the suggestion of Secretary of
War Baker, the American Red Cross
is about to enter a new field
of service in the army camps
of the United States, a field in
which they are already working in
France, the Bureau of Communication
between the men in the hospital and
their families at home. This will necessitate
building a Red Cross house
in every army camp in the country
apd securing for each house a man
who will keep in personal touch with
every man \vh.o is admitted to the camp
hospital, as well as a sufficient stenographic
force to handle the letters dictated
by these men and to keep their
famijies constantly informed as to'
their condition and progress.
Col. William Lawson J'eel, General
manager of the Southern division, has
just received letters from W. R. Castle,
Jr., director of the Bureau of Communications,
and from Harry B. Wal)non
'icuSctnnt /I ii?Ant ai* nmnnro 1 n f tn il t'
tai*v relief, explaining Secretary Ha- !
ker's plan ami asking for suggestions I
as to men in this division who are
qualified for the positions of responsibility
at the camps. Colonel Heel
announced Thursday at a meeting of
his bureau directors that the Southern
division would co-operate in every way
with the national organization and
that work would be begun at once to
assist in carrying out Secretary Baker's
plana.
The directors of the work in the Red
Cross houses will he under the authority
of the Red Cross Field Directors
in the various camps, who in
turn are under the supervision of 7,.
Bennett Hhelps, director of military
relief for the Southern division.
Secretary Baker says in his letter:
"Since the American Red Cross
has already established in France, in
accordance with an army order, a service
to keep families in America in
personal touch with their hoys, ill
or wounded in the field, It is suggested
thai this service he extended to
the camps in the United States. American
Red Cross representatives at the
camps, here, as in Frame, would have
access to daily lists of admissions and
evacuations from the hospitals, and,
so far as it is in accord with necessary
medical rules, would he allowed
to talk with sick men. They would
' he expected to keep families constant,
ly informed as to the condition and
progress of the men In the hospitals,
In for men umihlo tr?
write themselves, and In general to
fulfill that clause of the Rod Cross
charter which designated the society
as "a medium of communication be

families at home."

ON CASTOR REANS

f
Notwithstanding the recent state- f
mcnts made to the effect that articles
had been published and agents I
hail been going about making wrong _
impressions about the planting of t
castor beans; we arer in receipt of
still another news article from Hamlet,
N. C., reading As follows:
Hamlet, N. C.?Lieutenant Colon- ___
el Chas VanWay, of the Signal Di- "
vision of the War Department, in
charge of the Government arrangements
for securing a supply of castor
oil for the acroj>lanc motors, has
just completed a trip through South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama,
where he has held a conference
with those persons, entrusted ^
with contracting with the farmers Jl
lor the growing of castor beans.
It is estimated that it will take the
castor beans from approximately
100,000 acres to supply the Government's
requirements for castor oil;
and to South Carolina and Georgia
ten thousand acres have been assign- !
.in.i rr ,.i' u.?..ii.w XT
\\i, ctiivi i., u. ii>au.>, w i i iciiimv n. v/., (
h'-.ts been entrusted with securing
these contracts. ^
It is to be regretted that thev !
has been published in the papers ar- '
tides which confuse the grower upon ^
ho (jges1 ion of who has the right t >
onvract, by the publication of an a
article telling of a concern, doing , *
i i uncus under the name of Ac o ?
Supply C )nimittee, in Washington,
>. (\, being1 put out o'f business, and
by the failure at the same time to
state who the real contractors arc in f
this territory.
Mr. T. S. Evans, the contractor
x\ ith the War Department for Hie grewnig
of castor beans, when seen
at his office in Hamlet, N. C\, said:
'There is no question in my mind
but that castor beans will be a profit- able
crop to the growers of South i *
Carolina and Georgia, and I believe
that 20 to .TJ bushels per acre can be
produced on the average land, an 1
oven greater yields on the better .
land." There is no question about
the maikct, because a contract is ^
given to the farmer to pay him 03 C
per bushel at his railroad station, j
but 1 am convinced that they do not ^
appreciate the fact that the Governmcnt
would not call upon the farm- i *
crs to grow these beans, if it were *
impossible, and >ome have listened to
Pro-German propaganda, which
terns to be organized for the pur- \
pose of discouraging the planting <>!
this crop.
This Pro-German propaganda has
created a doubt in the minds of some ^
as to the profits to be made; it has
circulated false reports about th" .
War Department's method of con
tiacting; it has created a doubt as to
how the crop can be harvested; an I
the fact that the Aero Supply Committee,
which was a private institution
without any Government rights
has been stopped from the use of the
mails, and which fact was not to be
published, has been pounced upon as
an excuse to throw a doubt upon the
light of the contractors with the
Government to let contracts.
A phamphlet, entitled, "The A-B-C
of Growing Castor Beans," has been
published by Mr. Evans, which givefull
information and answers every
question on the subject of growing
castor beans, and it is for free distribution
to those interested.
