YOUR HELP NEEDED—NOW.
Our country is engaged in the
most gigantic war the world has
ever known. It did not go into
It willingly, nor of its own seeking.
It was forced into it by the arch
enemy of peace-lowing and lloerty
lovlng governments; by a domi
neering military autocracy. Now
that America is in the war It is its
purpose to jriog it to a conclu
sion that will make the world a
safer and jetter place to live In
tor all the people. It is desireu
to end the war as speedily as pos
sible, and to do that America anu
her allies must strike hurcf anu
fast.
The help of everybody in every
walk of life is needed. Money is
needed and must be had, for ar
mies cannot be equipped ana feu
without the necessary money to
pay the producer.
Selling bonds—Liberty Bonds
is th* plan your government has
adopted to raise the money. Those
bonds are as safe as your govern
ment, and it will take the money,
from the sale of these bonds to
make your government safe.
Who should b.uy them? Why,
everybody who can raise the price
from SSO up In smail Instalments oi
in bulk. The war, though cru
el and destructive as It is,
has created an unprecedenteu
demand for everything at fabulous
prices. There is more money than
ever before. It is plentiful. The
farmer, tho manufacturer, the la
borer, the'trader, ull have money,
and it is each otie'a patriotic duty
to help. If you prize the dollar
above your country, above your
sons at the front, above your wife
and children at home, then the
time may come when you will
' weep aud wail for all of them.
It is a serious business. Help
now I
Gov. Biokett had the Sheriffs ol
the State—about ninety of them—
in Raleigh Monday, and talked to
them. He urged them to help in
the sale of Liberty Bonds and
along all other lines where the
government asks aud needs help
for making the war successful.

Cities and Town. Are Urged by toe
State Fuel Administration, as a
War Measure, to Furnish
Wood to Consumers
. at Coat.
Special.
• Greensboro, N. C. Oct. 15.—1n an
interview to-day,'A. W. McAlister.
State Fuel Administrator, outlines
a practical plan for the co-opera
tion of municipalities In the conser
vation of coal. Said he :
"While the President and Mr.
Oarfield are solving the coal sup
ply problem, which they are
to do, l| they have to take
over the coal mines, and operate
them, the cities and towns of Noriii
Carolina can reduce the demand for
coal and can materially reduce the
price of wood to the consumer by
going into the wood business. I
have taken counsel with some of
the safest, most thoughtful and
best business men in North Caro
lina, and they alll agree that the
plan Is not only practical but high
desirable. There is an abundance
of wood in North Carolina, and
there will never be a time when
the larger, use of this abundance
can be made so advantageously an
now. The plan is as folllows:
"Let municipality; 1. Buy
wood by wholesale in large quan
tities for delivery by wagon or rail
road at a municipal wood yaro,
which should be located on a
railroad siding if wood is to be
•hipped in by rail; 2. Equip the.
wood yard with power saws, etc.
utilizing such available equipment
as the municipality already has,
3. Use convict labor, work house
labor, or street force to do the
work; 4. Use the municipal teams
for delivery of wood to consumer,
cut ready for consumption, at ac
tual cost; 5. Put somebody In
charge of the work who is capable
of doing it successfully; #. Do not
use coal cars for shipping in your
supply of wood; 7. If wood cannot
be bought in sufficient quantities
to supply the municipal yard, con
tract with land owners for the
privilege of cutting the wood un
der forest conservation restrictions
and direct the cutting of the woou
with own labor; 8. Encour
age consumers to substitute sheet
Iron wood stoves for their coai
burners, as the saving in price will
more than pay for the outlay. _
"In many sections of the State
last year, wood ready for burning
cost the consumer from seven t«
eight dollars a cord, ana the re
tail market this winter will proba
bly be higher than It was last. The
furnishing of wood at cost by the
municipality will work no hardship
on the retail woodydesler, tor the
demand will be etich that he can
sell all that he Iran supply at a
reasonable profit, and if he under
[ takes to raalle An unreasonable
. profit he cannot complain if munie
) ipal competition Interferes with it.
I There is no time to be lost. Let
| no time be wasted on the sonstitu
, tionality or legality of this propo
> sit ion. We have tuken legal ad
vice to the effect that this work
can properly be done by municipal
ities and we are satisfied that no
court is likely to Interfere with
the program of emergency relief,
' which will not only help win the
war, but will prevent suffering this
winter on the part of those who
can 111 afford to buy wood at any
price, and supply the public with
[ a necessity at prices that will not
be burdensome.
"Let not any municipality treat
■ thla auggpatlon lightly, deeming It
| unnecessary. The f«cti of the fuel
i altuatlon ipnk (or themaelvea an

YOUR PART.. I
Under the above heading The
Stateavllle Landmark refers to a
minister Who sold 7 per cent, secu
rities and bought Liberty Bonds,
and writes forcefully and sensibly
as to the duty of everyone to do
his part:
"The little sacrifices that sub
scriptions to the second Liberty loan
may entail are nothing compare.*
with the sacrifices the American
people may have to make ii this i
and qther loans are not floated; ii
German world domination shout
ever become a realty," ii is sug
gested. That is a point to keep
in mind. Simply Investing
in Liberty Honds is not a suc.i
lice, for the investment is safe ana
pays well. Dr. It. If. Camiibeli.au
Asneville minister, stated that he
sold 7 per cent, non-taxable secu
rities and Invested In 3 l-J percent
bonds, (1) to helpt he country—
and the country includes all citi
zens, remember, and (2) because h
roallzed that if the war is not suc
cessful for us, not only are our in
vestments Worthless but lii'e itsei.
will be hardly worth living. i'ow
many of our people of small means
an a some with large means wh>
are not in the haoit ol buying
bonds have not been aroused eithe.
to the necessity ot the case or t,i
their duty—don't forget the last
for all of us who can possibly ra.s--
the price of even one SSO b.inu,
even on the instalment plan.
In the first place our young men
have gone out to offer themselves
for the country. We will fail in our
duty to them as well as to the coun
try if we do not provide the means
to feed and clothe and arm the.n
for the service they are to perform.
Remember, In buying the bond*
you are not only making a safe
investment, but you are helping to
take care of your boy or your
neighbor's boy who is lighting ana
offering his life that we may ii /e
in peace and comfort.
The second point to remember is
that the government has to have
the money to successfully prose
cute the war; the money is spent
for our protection and if we fail to
provide the means the government
will fail to successfully prosecute
the war. That would mean Ger
man success and indemnities in the
way of taxation that would noc
only entail a greater sacrifice
than any we can make to ouy gov
ernment bondß, but life woula
hardly be Avorth living, as Dr.
Camp Dell says.
Of course there are those who
will sneer at the possibility as with
will sneer at this possibility as
without the range of probaoility.
The Landmark is frank to say it
considers it entirely improbable,
but if everybody would do as too
many are doing—refuse to help-
It would not only be a probability
but a certainty. And the man
who can help and won t, who is
willing to let others do the fight
ing and the paying while he en
joys the benefits, is a slacker o.
the worst sort. He is not worth
fighting for-and It Is a pity that
our boys will have tp fight for one
so unworthy.
Reflect on these things and then
make an effort—a real effort—to
help the Liberty Loan.
Ir one wants to buy a bond ana
hasn't the ready cash, by paying ?2
cash on each SIOO bond, the banks
will loan S9B, taking the bond as
collateral. The loan will cost I
percent, but the bond pay* 4 per
cent net, and counting iif taxes
nothing is lost.

University Ceiebr.tes 124 th Anni
versary-Other Dems of latere*.
Cyr. ot The Gleaner.
Chap®! Hill, N. 0., Oct. 15.
The University of North Carolina
during the past week celebrated
the 124 th anniversary of her birth
with addresses by Gov. Thomas
Walter Biekett and President
Edward K. Graham, and a mili
tary review of the University
troops by the Governor. The 500
khaki-clad troops filed by the
Alumni Building, which waf the
reviewing stand, at 10:30 a.m.,
aud then formed lines through
which the academic procession
paused on its way to Memorial
Hall. Here the addresses of the
day were delivered, and greetings
wt-re read from groups of Alumni
gathered together all over the
United States. Many of these
messages of greetings came from
army eainps, where over 000 Uni
versity men are at present.
In his introductory speech,
Graham referied to the
University as, "In years the old
est and in spirit the youngest of
the State Universities." He de
clared that the University was
"neither an advocate nor an apolo
gist for war as a matter of life.
Her leadership comes from a be
lief in life, based on the passion
for the intelligent way of doing
things, saturated and softened by
human sympathy. She believes
in men too sincerely to accept trial
by battle as the ultimate meaus
of gfttfngwhat men want. Yet
she holds no feeble compromise
with wroug as the right path to
ward permanent peace. So she
includes this year, for the first
uuie in her history, direct train
ing for the world's present chief
vocation, and summons all her
resources to assist in freeing the
world from the tyranny of war
with all the power site can com
mand." '
President Graham referred to
the two gifts, "long and des
perately needed," which have
come to the University during the
year —the Bingham (Mary Lily
Kenan) bequest for building up a
strong faculty, and the State's aid
for more adequate buildings and
maintenance. Governor Biekett
slated in uo uncertain tones why
we are now fighting Germany, and
traced the whole scheme of Ger
man intrigue aud world power up
to the present time. "Why do we
right and How?" was his theme.
"In this supreme time," said
the Governor, "to run from work
is as cowardly as to run from war.
The call will surely come to every
one of you, possibly to war, cer
tainly to work, and the man who
fails to equip himself for the work
he knows must be done iu the
midst or in the wake of war, is a
traitor to the men at the front,
and to the women and children at
home. Today things are being
fought out. Forever hereafter
they will be thought out. When
the smoke of battle shall lift, the
world will need as it has never
needed before, men with cunning
hands and cultured brains. Hence,
it is of superlative importance, for
every young man who does not go
to war, to go to school, and the
student who fails to do hard, hon
est work in school is the worst
sort of slacker and merits the con
tempt of his fellows."
"If these who stay at home now
fail to do their part," said the
Governor, "the saddest and sor
riest chapter iu the history of tho
war will be entitled 'The Dis
loyalty of the Reserves.'"

Washington. Prealdent Wilson
Bounded a call for the mobilisation of
all the nation's gold reserves under
the supervision of the federal reserve
board.
In a statement made public through
the board, the President called upon
all eligible non-member state* banka
and trust companiea to Joln the federal
reserve system without further delay,
that they may "contribute their share"
to the consolidated cold reserves of
the country and aid more effectively
"In a vigorous prosecution and suc
cessful termination of the war."
Scores of such Institutions have
flocked to the system within the paat
three weeks, among them some of the
largest trust companiea of New York,
Philadelphia and other cltlea. The
movement to the federal reserve sys
tem has lacked only a final impelling
fore* to assume the proportions of a
landslide. Within less than three
weeks, resources of such Institutions
In tie system have risen $2,640,000,000.
Liberty Loan financing, the result

effect of the government's hftge finan

country have made It Imperative, In
the view of the administration, for
the federal reserve board to control
not a major fraction of the gold re
serve of the country but the entire
amount.
Flnanelally Impregnable.

that the financial position of the coun

FUEL ADMINISTRATION SAYS
THAT COAL SUPPLY IS AMPLE
Communltlee Really In Need of Fuel
Carf Get at Government Prices.
Washington.—Communities really in
need of coal can get It at government
prces, Fuel Administrator Garfield
announced and the supply la ample to
meet immediate needs even In the
middle west, where an acute condition
arose through failure, fee aald, of cltlea
to state specficaUy their needs.
Appeals sbould be made to the fuel
administrators in each state, Dr. Gar
field said, but where there is no state
administrator, communication should
be directed to the foo4 administration
her*.
Dr. Oarfleld, who bas just returned
from Ohio, where he discussed the
situation in that stata With Home P.
Jbhnson of Cleveland, the new state
administrator, served warning agalnat
attempts of communities to confiscate
ooal In transit, cases of which were
reported from points in the middle
west
"When local officials," he said,
have undertaken to confiscate coal
for the use of public Instltfations or
Ideal communities, they not only have
assumed to exercise powers not vest
ed In them, but at the best would be
required to pay contract prices tot
the coal, instead of the lower price
fixed by the fael administration.
Whan the fuel administration acts, It
has the power to furnish coal at gov
ernment prices.
"The difficulty Is the communities
do not tell us speclscally what
amounts they need, what the purpose
is, when to deliver and other specific
Information. AU they need to do Is
to give us definite facts and coal will
be ordered shipped at once."
