It is to be won by the united efforts of the individuals of many nations. Every American citizen has an individual duty to perform, an in dividual share of the responsibility. The more powerful and effective the American forces are the shorter will be the war, and the shorter the war the fewer lives lost, the greater the number of American soldiers who will return home vic torious. livery American who econo mizes in consumption of material, who increases production, who saves and lends savings 10 the ( iovcrnnient, does something 10 help w in the war. MOI D Ol LIHLKI Y IIONDS. To successfully linance the war it is necessary that owners of Lib erty bonds hold their bonds if pos sible. Where for any good reason it is necessary for them to turn i I llu.'ii' bonds into cash they should ! seck the advice of their bankers. l.ibeny loan bunds are very de sn.iWe investments, and craliy in dividuals are using various means to secure them from owners nut familiar with slock values and like matters. One method is to oiler to exchange for Liberty bonds stocks or bonds nf doubtful organ izations represented as returning a much higher income than ihe bonds. There are various other methods used and likely to be used, some of the gold brick variety and others less crude and probably within die limits of the law. All offers for Liberty bonds except for money and at market value should be scrutinized carelully. The bonds are safest of investments and have nontaxable and other valuable features. To hold your l.ibeny loan bonds if possible, is patriotic. To consult your bankers before selling them is wise. THH SOULS OH CORPORATIONS There is an old axiom of Lng hsh law ihat corporations have no souls. The manner in which thou sands of corporations have given their servces and t lie i r means lo ihe Liberty loan, io ihe Ked Cross, and lo the V. M. ('.. A. and lo oili er naiional elloris during this war seems lo disprove (he truth of the saying. lite Congress of the United Sliiies seem lo have adopted Ihe view ihal a corporation may have a soul, since n has authorised na tional banks to contribute lo the American National kid Cross oul j of any net profits available under i the law for the declaration of dtvi-: dends I he law further provides thai funds so contributed shall he j used by the Ked Cross in furnish ing voluntary aid lo the sick and ; wounded of the combatant armies, j the volunteer relief of the Army and Navy of the I'mtcd Stoics, I and the relief of ihe suffering ' caused by the war lo the people of the I'nited Slates and ilietr allied nations. THE R.OI R SITUATION. Most markets in North Carolina are practically without flour at the present utile, according to informa tion hat has come to the l-"ood Ad ministration from all sections of ihe Slate. The old crop is ex hausted and ihe flour from the new crop is just beginning to come in. Some degree of alarm has been indicated in some flour mar kets in the State. The feeling of apprehension is altogether uncalled For. l-'ood Ad ministration officials have breathed a sigh of relief which with ihe har vesting of the new crop because wiih the coming in of the new crop the situation becomes infinitely easier. No one has been hurt by ihe enforced substitution of cereals for wheat flour and the lesson has been a wholesome one in the opin ion of Siate Food Administrator Henry A. Page. On the other hand when the new crop of wheat has reached the mills there will not be the necessity for anything like the intensive conservation of wheat flour that there has been in the past. There will still be neces sity for very careful use of flour and the use of substitutes will sit!! be required, tut there wiit nm be occasion for ihe entire absti nence from wheat products. The l-'ood Administration and the Grain Corporation anticipate laying by a store of 200,000,000 bushels of wheal as insurance against a short crop next year and the requiemenis for export will be greater, but even after all these demands have been met there will be a larger supply of wheat left than the American people have consumed during the past twelve months. One of the minor compensations of war is that nowadays a high school kid can lake his bat and ball right from the back lot into the big league.

Are you natlniled with your county's record? Did you do your pun In signing the pledga and giving your aervUen to make your county K over In the drive! Another opportunity is going to he alven your county and you to say what you will do. Those who did too hull or pledged iinio-antn too nnialt will he given a chunte to save tlielr record. Many who Inive reconsidered since they were called on weekn ngo will want to make thulr pledges larger and (heir services more liberal and willing Many since that time have come to know Ihe giKid investment that War Savings Stamps offer and they are willing lo pledge themselves to save more that they may Invest more in the best securities on earth. Again, as a result ot the drive, many people have come to realize for the first lime that they owe their country a debt of gratitude and service. They will seek this oppownlty to pay thla debt. Xo individual, no township, no coun ty mm afford not to pay It None of these can afford not to Inveat to the utmost In War Savings Stamps, as a mare selfish means of protection after the wnr Then will money be scarce, labor cheap, and prices high. The county or the InSlvtdual that has made no provision for tha future will ba more than unfortunate. The poor est county aa well ns the poorest In dividual aftor tha war will be lhat one who made Uie least effort to buy Its full Quota of War Savings Stamps and other securities offered by the Government.

Sales during the first nine days of July totaled $4i,552.52!i. Tm: United Stales has now loan ed to our Allies $6,091,590,000. The advances average about $400, 000,000 a month. These loans to our Allies are analogus to lending weapons to friends who are aiding you io the defense of your own home. The money is being used to defeat our enemy, to maintain armies fighting side by side with our soldiers, and fleets patrolling the same oceans with our sailors. The case of the packers again illustrates tne proverb mat it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP WIN THE WAR ? !

Although chilled, this meat is not frozen; hennnt cannot be stored for a rise in price. A steer is dressed usually within twenty-four hours after purchase by the packer. Tho beef is held in a cooler at the packing house, at a temperature a little above freezing, for about three days. It is then loaded into a refrig erator car where a similar tem perature is maintained, and is in transit to market on an aver age of about six days. Upon arrival at the branch distributing house, it is unloaded into a "cooler", and placed on sale. Swift & Company requires all beef to be sold during the week of arrival, and the average of sales is within five days. Any delay along the above journey means deterioration in the meat and loss to the packer. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

But where does he eat his lunch al noon ? Where does he go when he leaves his boarding house ai night? What does he do after supper? Where does he spend his Sundays and holidays? The way he uses his spare moments reveals his charac ter. The great majority of youihs who go to the bad are ruined afier supper. Most of them who climb upwards to honor and fame devote their evenings to study or work or the society of those who can help and improve them, liach even ing is a crisis in the career of a young man. I here is deep sig nilicance in the lines of VThiiuer: This day we fashion Destiny, our web of fate we spin; This day for all hereafter choose we holiness or sin. The average housewife is now busy putting up pickles, preserv ing and canning. Nothing swells a man's head so much as to have a pretty girl ask him For informaiion.

Your Hov. livery boy is going to have a confident, some one lo whom he can tell his secreis and whisper his hopes and ambitions which he would not bre.ulte to others, says Orison Swell Maiden in Success Magazine. Vl'e take it for granted thai his mother will stand nearer to him than any other person, but every boy will have some male friend who will stand in a peculiar relation to him. This friend, this confident, should be his lather. You cannot afford to have your boy feel that you are too busy or too indifferent to tell him how to fly his kite or bate his hook or make a toy or to play games with him. If you begin early enough, it is comparative ly easy for you to gain your hoy's confidence. From infancy he should grow up to feel lhat no one else can take your place; that you siand in a peculiar relation to him, which no one else can fill. rni)(:RAl.
