WAR SAVINGS DRIVE JUNE
23 TO 28.
Present Wilson and Governor Bick
ett Issue Proclamations Urging
Every Citizen to Subscribe
Utmost. Nebraska Plan
of House-to-house
Canvass Used.
Winston-Salem, May 111. —On or
b 'fore June every tax-pa}er
'and householder in Nort|i Caro
lina will have made his sufiSferip
tion to the War Savings Campaign
or given his reasons for not doing
so. President Wilson has pro
claimed Friday, June -iSth, as
National War Savings Day and
has requested every man, woman
and child to pledge himself on or
before the 28th, to save and buy
War Savings Stamps to the utmost
of his ability. Governor 1 tick ot t
lias designated I lie week of June
j.'ii'd to Mtli as War Savings Week
and urges every tax-payer to
pledge himself to buy all the War
Savings Stamps that iu his honest
opinion lie will lie able to pay for
during the remainder of the
year.
The purpose of the President's
proclamation, likewise that of the
Governor's is that the W/U'Siv
iii«s Campaign shall bo made to
go over the top through the ef
forts of an intensive campaign lo
he conducted from State Head
quarters, beginning the week of
I line L'! and culnnuat ion .1 line 2*.
Instead of taking a year and a
month to subscribe this loan to
die Government, National and
■«tate Oirectors ol' the War Sav
ings Campaign decided that it
diall he put over within.a week,
and that with the same big suc
cess that met the r • •out drive of
the Liberty Loan and Un»l Cross.
The plun by which Nebraska
•uicecedeil in oversubscribing her
quota by four mill ion dollars and'
raising over fifty percent, of her
■tales by April 1, is the plan that
will bo adopted not only iu North
Carolina but in every Sta'e iu the
I'nion. What Nebraska has done
it is believed at State Headquart
ers and all War Savings workers
that Norlh Carolina can di. Con-!
•tequently the plans for an iuteii
■tive State-wide drive have been
carefully worked out and are now
being executed by State, County
iml Township Chairmen.
The chief principle of the plan
adopted is a house to house can
vass and the taking of subscrip
tions from every tax payer iu the
township, or his excuse for not
subscribing. A record of every
man's pledge and support of this
cause will bo kept.
On Friday, June 2S, every tax
payer will be summoned to appear
at the school house iu his school
district for the purpose of either
celebrating the occasion of his
township's raisinu its quota, or if
that be not the ease, to finish rais
ing the township quota. The
towifship will be the unit of or
ganization in the campaign, ami
"Kvery township'over the top' by

will be the tnotlo.
Wireless Communication Bclwecn
Italy and United States.
London Chronicle.
The announcement thai Italy
and the United Slates have re
cently been connected by wirel. ss
telegraphy deserves more notice
than it has received.
This achievement probably
makes a back uuml>er of the great
wireles* station at Nation, near
llerlin, which has been so useful
to Germany, and which, when the
war broke out, claimed to lie the
most powerful in the world, with
an effective range of between li,-
hi HI and i,ooo miles.
From the nearest point in Italy
(o the I' nited States trans-Atlantic
itation at Arlington, near Wash
ington, is not less than (5,200 miles,
mid to send an intelligible mes
sage across that distance might
lie mote than even N'aiien could
accomplish. Owing to the hostility
between the ether waves which
eaity wireless messages anil suu
'shine, it is always easier to send
messages long distances iu north
erly latitudes than iu those more
south, and the power required to
cover a given distance iereases
with nearness lo tho equator.
The wireless route between
Itomo and Arlington is for a good
part of the way at least Mm miles
nearer Ihe equator than that be
tween Niiuen and the United
States, which fact considerably
idds to the achievement of the
Italian and American exjerts.

Stirvation Kills More Than Bullets.
The greatest human decimation
in Kurope has not been wrought
by Herman bullets but by starva
tion and its attendant diseases in
tlio districts overrun by the Her
man miliary power, declared Fo d
Aduiiiiistiator Hoover in nil nd-
I dress to the National Daily
, League in New York. Pointing
out the service which the dairy
men of the uatiou "aro morally
drafted to fulfill," he said lie was
convinced that "if the war were
to cease tomorrow the toll of ac
tual (load from starvation and at
tendant diseases would double or
treble the . r »,0(il),000 or «,000,000
killed by Hormany and her
allies."
Calling upon the dairymen to
do their part iit maintaining the
I'nitcd States as "reservoir, of
food,"'Mr. Hoover said:
"It is worse than folly to put
f>,000,000 of our boys inlo France|
if the civilian population of our
allies is not also to bo maintained
iu strength and morale with our
food.
"During this fiscal J ear North
America will have supplied ap
proximately JiO per cent, iu nu
tritive values of the foodstuffs im
ported by the allies and 50 per
cent, canio from more remote
markets. Before the war we con
tributed probably less than 10 per
cent.
"North America stands unii|Ue
in one great particular. We are
independent of sea transport for

We grow them side by side. Here

at all for supper, you will more
than likely avoid the sour stom

whatever. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain's
