A LOW STANDARD One of the most disheartening displays in the daily press as well as on the part of Congress, was the great prominence given the almighty dollar in discussing the recent emergency fuel order. When Congress learned that all industry must cease for a period of five days, it began immediately to bombard the White House with figures, dollars, billions of them, that were to be lost through the opera tion of this order. When that was of no avail the big papers began publishing columns of figures, estimates of losses in the various States and ^ cities. Is our patriotism thus to be measured in dollars and cents? Does this mean that we are willing that our young men may die for victory but we would draw the line at a money loss? The answer came from Washington that we must win this war at whatever cost. And it might have added, even if it costs money. The statement is made that one third of the illicit whiskey is made ii North Carolina. It may be necessary for the Governor of South Carolin: to say a fey words to the Governo. of North Carolina. Hard time's do not seem to hav? ^.ruck New York. At a recent sale of ancient rugs one carpet of the sixteenth brought $5,000. The tota' auction sales of ancient carpets and rugs amounted to $53,000. They ,, could have bought the same quantity of new carpets* and rugs for much less money.

It is very important that w? r realize that business cannot no or a . usual and the recent enforced idleness of industry to supply needed coal for out-Kointf ships ou^ht to bring about this realization.

'i he first State to ratify the prohibition amendment to the Constitution was Mississippi. It is said tiro within fifteen minutes after the Go\. error had asked Ihe legislature tratify the prohibition amendment ! the Constitution that action was tal en. Those Mis.sissippians are, ev dently, minute men. I Major Gardner, who was the'firs'. Congressman to resign for the pur pose of joining' the army, died r< cently in Camp at Macon, Ga. Ma jor Gardner represented Massachusetts in Congress for several yean and was one of the most vigorous supporters of the President's war po? licy. Kentucky, noted for its flghtiw men, pretty women and Bourboi whiskey, was among the first state* to ratify the .prohibition emendment As goes Kentucky so goes the Union. ^ The . German melted the church V. bells of the Frenih towns they cap lured to Convert them into munitions of war.

MANAGING TURKEYS , As turkeys usually slip away and lay about eleven o'clock in the morning, the best way to secure their eggs is have a wire netting pen and drive i them into it in the morning.

GOVERNMENT HAS SUPPLY OF NITRATE SODA FOR FARMERS Washington?The secretary of agriculture has announced the plan for. the sale and distribution of the 100,000 t6ns of nitiate of soda for Fertilizer use purchased under the provisions in the food control act tvhich authorizes the president to secure nitrate of soda and to Bupply it to farmers for cash at cost. A cucular in which the plan is fully net forth is being mailed to the county agents who wil receive orders for the nitrate and transmit them ti tVar.h tt /\ n III^WII. I The f. <?. b. price at ports will be $75.50 at ton, farmers paying the freight charges from the port of arrival.and .he State f rtilizer tag free. The plan is thut in each county where there is a county agent to have the agents associate with themselves three or more bur.'.ness men in each community, who wnl arsist them in the sale of the nitrate In each coun1y where there is no county agricultural agent a committee of three or more local business men will be appointed. A farmer living in such a . ounty who desires to make application for nitrmc of oda fihould, if he t'oes not know the idflress of the local committee, address an inquiry to the State director of extension for his State. The po*tofiicc address of the director of extension in each State is given in the circulcr. The hips curiying the nitrate will be d rccted to the most convenient ports, including Charleston, Wilmington, Savannah, Norfolk und Baltimore, tcpresentatives who also will serve without compensation, have been or will be selected to handle the shipncnts at these places. Farmers will make application for nitrate upon blanks furnished by the tounty agents or he local committee's. Applications must be signed ind returned so as to reach the county agents or member of the local committees by February 4. As the nitrate, under t :?e law, can be iold only for cash, the farmer will be . cquired to deposit the money coverng the cost of the nitrate he wishes with the local bai k, association, 01 individual to be designated by the department. The or iers will be transmitted to the depa tment, accompanied by the amount overing the same If the quantity of titrate that can bi ecurcd will fill a! orders, each farmer will secure the amount he requests; otherwise it will be necessary -O allot the nitrate to thosj; applying for it so that all may participate or qual terms in its distribution. None of the nitrate will be sold to dealers either directly or indirectly. It will be sold only to farmers directly foi cash at cost, and generally not in excess of the amounts used by them heretofore. The government is making every jfTort to reach farmers who desire u >art of tlrs nit."it , hut otutes that il vi 11 be impossible for the county agents or other persons to visit every ndividual farmer, and urges all whe desire to purchase nitrate to get in touch with their local county agent oi a member of their local committee. 5ERIOUS STRIKE ON IN AUSTRIA-HUNGARY London, Jan til. -The strike movenent is spreading throughout Ausria-Hungary and it is associated with a demand for immediate peace, according to dispatches received in London from Swiss and Dutch ourecs.

ALLIES WAITING FOR GERMAN MOVI Washington, Jan. 21.?The ajuiei are maintaining an expectant atti tude on the Western front. Seer* tary Baker stated today in his weeklj war review, while recent events ir Russia have greatly increased strate gic freedom for the central powers. The following review is for th< week ending January 10. It says: "There is little to record in th< v/ay of military activity during thi past week. On the Western front til allies are maintaining an expectan attitude. "While the enemy has been bus concentrating his offensive forces, th British and French have greatl strengthened their defensive dispos tions, reorganized their tactical ai rangements wnicn in muny area . were hitherto chiefly of an offensiv character, and are now prepared ft ' every eventuality. "The recent events in Russii which have removed from the thei ter of active operations over 90 r.iiles of front in the east, the invi sion of Italy and the conscquei shortening of th<j battle line in th zone by nearly 150 miles, have r suited in greatly increased strateg freedom for the central empires. Alert Allies Wait. "Reviewing the minor opcratioi which took place during the perit under examination, it is noticeab that ascendant initiative and aler ness is airain disnlaved hv the nlliea "Wo find the British and Fren< actively raiding tho Gorman lino driving in outposts and patrols. "Along the British front tho on my for the first time in many weel maintained a relatively passive at( tude. The British ^?nt out numc ous raiding parties. I "East of Loos, a sharply eondut 1 od operation by tho British w ' brought to a successful conclusio The British broke into the Germi line and captured a number of pi > son era. "North of St. Quentin, and cast Mericourt, the British had brush with the enemy which resulted fa orably. "In tho neighborhood of Lena a C ' nadiun detachment launched a ra against the Germans, which w crowned with success. Not only we 1 the Canadians able to penetrate t! enemy's positions, but they held the ' as long as they deemed expediet ' and only retired after indicting se: > ous damage and taking prisoners. I "Southwest of Armentieres t! " enemy advanced against a Briti outpost, but was speedily drivi > back. "Artilery activity whs noted in t ' Ypres section and enemy fire w i lively in the area south of the Cu ';rai salient. Numerous Air Raids. ' "Air raida in hostile territory we numerous, not only in the theater i operations where German ammui ' tion dumps in the region of Roulc and railheads and cantonmen in Flanders proved good targets, b daylight attacks by aircraft in for were carried out against German < ties. The raids on Karlsrue prov< particularly effective. "In the Italian theater the su cesses of the preceding week ha' been enlarged and extended. "The Italians launched, sucessful ilong three separate segments of tl 'ine, a series of formidable assaul which resulted in u decided adva tagc for their forces "n.",-.;ed. "The first attack was m~de east i Cepo Sile in the Pi ivo d dta whic brought about a material extensii f the Italian bridgehead along tl wower Piuve. "The second, in the region betv.ee 'he Monte Toniba and the Monte Si 'arolo, was a tactical gain of pos tive value, in that it greatly streni thened the 'talian disposition in th area. "The third, and by far the moi important undertaking, resulted i bringing about a rectification of Ita ian dispositions in the Monte As< lone sector, which rendered secui tronch elements heretofore not d? void of serious weakness. "This last achievement must b looked upon as of essential signif eance in that it has removed the mi nace of the enemy being able t turn the Italian flank jn the rcgio of the Monte Grappa. The only rea< tion on the part of the enemy too place in the Piavc delta, who,re th Austrian* attempted to regain th ground lost east of Capo 3ile. Th enemy was driven back without gain ing any of his objectives and sufTere severe casualties. It would seem tha it is now clear that the pressure o the Austrians in this area has beoi materially lessened. "Artillery was intermittently ac tive along the entire front and th British batteries rendered good ser I vice in the Montello sector. Weather Helps Airmen. '"Clear weather favored the task o the uviators. Numerous hostile uii raids took place, directed against va ricus centers in the Venetian plaii close to the flighting area. "The enemy was busy bombing un defended Italian towna. yPsdua anc Treviso were attacked in^iroad day light and numerous encounters between Austrians and Italian airmen were rocorded. i ' .?
