And the hats are beginning to fall
in the ring.
Buy a War Savings Stamp. It will
make you feel more like a part oFthe
government.
You had better mind what you say
or you will find that you are being
classed out by some one.
Maj,, Peterson is being tried in Ra
leigh' this week_pn a charge of em
bezzling the State out of $7,600.
Among those we have heard spoken
of for the House of Representativ
Louisburg.
While the government advocates
raising chickens to assist in conserv
ing the meat supply it does,not advo
cate turning them out to tear' up a
neighbor's war garden.
. Its our ignorance, no doubt, but we
can'tsee the sense in giving the names
of the killed and wounded in France
without their rank .and home address.
Since there are more .than one person
by the same name it is confusing and
trying, especially to those parents and
friends having relatives serving at
the front. We think it would be much
better for the department to not give
out any public information along this
line at all, rather than give it par.
tially.
The official reports show that the
Western farmers are the largest buy-,
ers of War Saving Certificates. There
is no shrewder or independent class
of people in the world than the tar- j
mers of the West and^they are making i
hay while the sun tffttnes by putting |
their $2.00 wheat and $1.50 corn where |
it will be the safest, will bear interest ,
and pay no taxes. The sales of War
Savings Str. nips in North Carolina to
March 1st. averaged only 35 cents!
per capita, while in Nebraska the av-1
erage was $4.39. Our people will have 1
to act promptly if we are to get our.I
share of this magniflcient*- investment. r
The daylight Saving law pr.ssed by
Congress becomes effective at 2 a. m.
Sunday Morning. March 31. That
means at this time all the clocks in
the United States are to be run up
one hour. The object is to get all
work 3tarte'd one hour earlier, and
stopped one. hour earlier, using
daylight instead of part of nijht to
perform the duties of life. Congress
evidently has seen a great deal more
than the average student of human
nature to think that#just a little ma- i
nipulation of the hands of ?. clock is
going to make the people shake off
the comforts of a good mornins nap
and artee earlier than they have been
especially when it i| suc'.i a burden*

"In planning for the success of the
Liberty Loan in North .Carolina." says
- Mrs. Johnson, "the Central Liberty
I^an Committee is depending greatly
on the hearty cooperation of the wo
men of the State, partilularly the
, club women, who are ever ready to
answer every call to loyal, patriotic
service. It is generally felt tjbat the
^ coming campaign will require a great
deal of hard work and individual ef
fort, but the realization of this fact
' illy makes us more determined to
"ceed in placing the number of
t oads in North Carolina that we are
expected to take
"Governor Bickett has said: 'I have
AbtaKamlc faith in the Courage, the
devotion and the superficial spirit of
the women of North Carolina. To see
their duty is to do It.' Surely every
wqnian will feel it her duty, first, to
make every possible effort and sacri
fice so that ihe can make a personal
investment ii&Liberty Bonds, and. sec
ond, to use every effort to persuade
others to invest in them."
Mrs. R. H. Latham of Winston Sa

3LRTER CONCRETE SHIP IS LAI N".
CHED
Aihuntairrs Claimed For This Char*
ucter of "Vessel in Meeting War's
Demand?.
A Pacific Port, March *16.?The lar
gest concrete ship in the world was
launched here today, if the vessel
stands all ?he tests the builder.* hope
*7p Tt?r~!ieip to solve theira.
'-Tr.s need, for ships. Every step of
construction iia-? been watched by
the government. The vessel is 320
feet betweon perpendiculars._45>,6 feet
wide and 30 feet deep, and *"tien load
ed will draw 24 feet of water,. Her
digplarrmant will be 7.900 tons "and
she wjll have a carrying capacity of
5.000 tons and make ten or twelve
knots an hour with triple expansion
engines furnishing 1,760 horsepower.
She is ten times larger than any con
dyle boat now on record
try.
Advantages claimed for the neU j
v<_j3?l arc -that?imrn^oU noniilruftiyin.
does not-lntcrfere with sto<4 construc- j
t ion - plen nrof con ere ie can be had;" (
Concrete vessels can be built for the .
present cost of wooden vessels: con. j
crete Vessels of 11,500 tons can be
launched within 9*0 days after work J
starts; while the \ cost of the plant!
is a3 $2S,000 to 1500,000 "compared j
with a steel shipyard.
*'When iheJttrst iieel vessels were
Tiuilt people said they'd not float, or
if they did they would be too heavy
to be serviceable.*' said W. Leslie j
f'nniyn preaidant th> coaw wlrfehH
built the boat.?"Now ' they say the j
same thing about concrete. But all the |
engineers we hftve tafrpn' over this
boat, includtog many who said it was
an impossible undertaking, now agree
that it is a success."
The floor of the vessel is about 4%
inches thick; the side four inches
with a great steel shoe down the bow
Imbeded in the concrete arc 540 tons
of st.eel, a continuous basket work of
welded steol mesh r.ml hundreds of
Heavy iron bars also welded together.
* . A 'tvat ?rttgfct wont i -fkwVing reeling
on the botrom beams constitute the
double bottom of the vessel. No pro
1 ""
theory being that the vessel will tra
I vel without ballast, riding safe'y with
her heavy bottom. Six concrete bulk
heads divide the vessel. The main
deck Is wood laid with concrete string
ers: the shelter deck Is concrete. The
[dead weight Is put at C00 tons more
than t ha? of a steel vessel of like cap
acity. The vessel will burn oil vuslng
160 barrels a day end her reir.for^ed
concrete tank will carry thirty days*
supply.
This boat will have to stani her
tests like any other vessel, said the
builder today. I expect we .Will send
her to the Orient, and when she gets
back we will know all about het. At
present there are no Insurance quota
tions covering concrete vessels: it's
all as new to everyone .el^g as it is to
us. as we had to design nni <11 Pi I mjjJ
have It rolled as we needed It.
"Besides the low first cost, we will
save 75 per cent of our lumber on
later boats hy reusing it. Two other
vessels of 7.500 tons each will be
started as soon as we get this one
out of the waj. In these we will use
forms built In sections and bolted.
When we strip tfrem from the con
crete they will come off a section at
a time.
"A concrete boat will last?I don't
know how* long. We know that con
crete gets bottef the jlrtt nine years
of Its life and after thai Id
last a long lime. The life of a a?eol
boat ordinarily ts 26 yearsr
LISflT COTB; DRIVE KXfENDED
ONI- WEEK
County Chitrmen Ask For Another
Week to Thousand Dollar
Club Members. Cleveland
Reports Full Quota
10o Members
Winston Salem. March 11.?For the
reason that the Thousand Dollar Club
Campaign got a running start lait
?week that would not allow It to stop
this week and for the further reason
that County Chairman requested that
they be given another week to work
this feature of the War Savings Cam
paign State Headquarters here has
decided to continue tills work until
Chairman and organization in the
State. - - v
The Limit Club appeal met with
a liberal response generally through,
out the State, and It is believed that
another week given to this work Will
bring many counties up to their full
quota. Shelby and Cleveland County
with Hon. O. Max Gardner, Chairman,
went beyond her quota five members,
or $5,000 last week. Buncombe tele,
graphed State Headquarters that she
could be counted on for her quota of
two hundred members.
Other counties reporting the num
ber of members secured in the War
Savings Limit Club last week: Forsyth
172, Wake79, Edgecombe and Wilson
54. Catawba 50, Pitt 40. Franklin 39,
Pamlico 29, Davidson 27.Harnett 25,
Randolph 17 and Johnson 10.
The Thousand Dollar Club proposl*
Lion interests many farmers. writes
one chairman to State Headquarters.
He says that many farmers are being
neglected on the War Savings Stamp
plan of Investing their money, and
that many would be glad to loan the
Government their money ff thte facts
and advantages are made known to
them. Farmers will surprise you more
than any other class of people,, he
says. They will often, take a thousand
dollars in War Savings Stamps when
you think they couldn't take a hun<
dred. It pays you to pay them your
respects ?s regards this proposition
Furthermore, he says, farmers are
more patriotic than you sometimes
think. This war is weighing heavy on
their hearts and they are ^willing to
do their part in bringing it to an end
