A Call to Duty to gorili Carolina's Fif teen Thousand Public School Teachers The hour Is at hand when every pa triotic American Citizen, whether at home or on the far-flung battle front, must do, not his bit, but his utmost to help win the war. To the fifteen thousand public school" teachers ot North Carolina comes the call t < - elp win t'ae war by organizing War.Sav ings Societies' in every schaoljpom In the State and in encouraging their pu pils and patrons to do theCr utmost by lending the Government money .wlto which to feed, clothe and equip Fif j ^pldiers In training at ?he front. On Patriotic Day, which- Is soon to be observed In every school house In the State, the patriotic fervor of the children and patrons will be aroused I to the kindling point.- What a loss It will be if this enkindled patriotism Is allowed to subside without being con- I verted Into energy with which to win the war! Every school teacher (In the State is asked to give a practical turn to Pa triotlc Day by organizing a War SaVM lngs Society in his or her school-room One of these societies may be organ Ized as soon as ten persons become War-savers by purchasing one or more Thrift Stamps according to the of the National War Savings Comrnlt tee. Tho teachors are also urged to stim ulate patriotic rivalry among tho chit. drMj by encouraging them to enter training for the Army of Thrift. As soon as a child becomes a War.saver and joins the War Savings Society, he is eligible to strive to enter the Army of Thiflft; when he gets ten other per sons to purchase a $100.00 War Sav lngs Certificate each, he becomes a sol dier of" Thrift and receives from the Government an . appropriate badge; when he gets twenty-flve persons to purchase a $100.00 War Savings Cer tificate each, he becomes a Captain ot Thrift and receives an aproprlatc badge; when he has caused the pur chase of flfty Certificates, he Is made a Major of Thrift; one hundred certlfl catee, a Colonel of Thrift; and when he has caused the purchase of two hundred Certificate?, he will be made a General of Thrift and his name will ' be entered in a permanent register in the office of Ure Secretary of the Treas ury in Washington and he will be Im mortalized as a Soldier of Thrift. The wond^Wul opportunity t>oth foi 1 patriotic service and for self help In the War Savings plan must be appar ent. Every time a child buys a Thrift Stamp he is lending twenty-five cents to his Government which will give a meal to a soldier. Twenty-five cents may not be much, but remember that Just one Thrift Stamp- purchased by each citizen of the -United States will amount to twenty-five million dollars. K very time he , purchases sixteen Thrift Stampa and, with the a(Hjition of a few cents, converts them Into a War Savings Stamp, ho Invests money which will bear him 4 per cent inter est, compounded quarterly, to be paid to him, prindipal and Interest, in five years. The savings of the child, small as they may be, may give him a startJvith which to complete his education, or with which to go Into business foi himself. More than that and better than that, the habit of saving incul cated by this campaign may check his tendency to be a spendthrift and make him apreciatetfie moral value of econ omy and thrtift F. H.

This Nov. 16, 1917. Wm. H, RUFFFIN, Trustee. 11 16 5t THE USELESSJiESS OF WANT. The fear frequently expressed that this country may come to want should be perfectly useless fear. There is no logical reason why the United States should not produce ample for her own wants and the needs of hei allies. We have the land upon which to grow the crops und a climate that renders anything approaching a crop failure an impossibility. All that re mains is for the American people to apply themselves tt> the task. But it is at this point that the trou ble arises. For several decades now the people have been gradually desert ing agriculture for the industrial pur suits. Agriculture has been at a dis count and the farmer regarded as of somewhat inferior clay. Thousands of young men. if not trained in the pi$ fesslons, adopted the mechanical trades till the farms have become al most deserted. The result was on'y to be expected, and naturally the in dustrial ranks were unduly swelled at the same time. Nothing Bave the, over abundance of mechanical labor is re sponsible for the great labor disturb ance of the past half century. Labor In ahy line, when it becomes too plen tiful, must either resort to competition or union in order to survive. In this instance It chose union and the re 'ilts we have seen. From this time on. there should >? a systematic effort on the part of thr> great labor unions to ccjirtalil the numbor of recruits to their ranks Young men should be discouraged from deserting the farms to engage in the trades. The farms need t'loti and should have them. There is room for several millions more young men on the farms of this country, and then t*ie land would not be overcrowded, j A more equitable distribution of la bor would result in great good to all | parties concerned. The farms would benefit by the added forces, while the trades would benefit no less by the withdrawal of a surplus 6f labor -Uuu Is an endless' source of trouble and strife. f We have reached a point when a great readjustment of labor Is Imper ativo, and this readjustment Is up to the leaders of the labor world. The food problem la an Individual one. You and all others have In It a personal responsibility. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as Administrator of this' estate of D.
