State Must Succeed in
The War Saving* Drive
Winston-Salem, June 7,—There is 1
no alternative for North Carolina in j
the matter of putting over her War
Saving* Campaign by June 28, at-]
cording to Mr. C. J. Thorson of Wash
ington and Mr. Harry Palmer of Me-'
hraska. representative* of the Nation-1
al War Savings Committ who recently,
visited North Carolina State Head-;
quarter* here for the purpose of aid- \
ing and advising in relation to the
^ar Saving* Drive of June 23-28.1
After a clone study of North Carolina I
condition* and affairs at State Head
quarter*, only one thing can happen j
a* a result of the drive, they say, and
that is that North Carolina will not
only go "over the top" on that day,
but will go over overwhelmingly.
The visitors who are sent out by
the National War Savings Committee
at Washington express themselves a.
being highly pleased with the pros
perity of the South, particularly that
of North Carolina and with the evi
iltmt signs that the South will have no
trouble in raising her full quota of
pledge-, by June 28, and likewise, her
sale* by December 31.
Mr. Palmer is the man who has put
Nebraska on the map as the first
State to go "over the top" in War Sav
ings. This it did a* eaily as March
23 by over $4,000,000 in pledge". Mr.
Palmer explains not only Nebraska
was able to do this but how she has
been able to report the rale of a mil
lion dollars of War Savings Stamp*
every week since that time. Today
she has gold several thousand dollars
of Stamps over her quota. And he
«aya, the people are not satisfied to
slop buying Stamps. The Indication*
I ure now that she will double her quota.
It is the plan by which Nebraska
has worked to *uch effective results
that North Carolina and all other
states of the Union has adopted in
their War Savings drive this month.
The plan has met th* approval not
only of the President of the United
State*, but also of the Governor of
North Carolina. Both of these exe
cutive officers have isvued proclama
tion* calling on all people to observe
War Savings Week by pledging to
buy ax many War Savings Sump* a*
he will be able to pay for the remain
der of the year.
Mr. Thorson nay* that he ha* found
no State with a better organized and
ond more keenly alive to the needs of j
the drive than North Carolina. He
emphasizes the fact that the Govern
ment ha* issued its order* and no
state ha* any other alternative but
to comply.
Administrator Page
After Profiteers.
Raleigh, June 8.—Miller* and deal-'
er* who have been taking advantage <
of the scarcity of flour and the "com
bination *ale" order of the Food Ad
ministration are likely to have a "run- ■
in" with State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page, according to a state-!
ment issued to the trade in the ofli- j
cial Bulletin of the Food Administra
tion which was issued today. Accord
ing to this statement the conservation
of wheat has been held back and dis
couraged to a considerable degree by
profiteering in corn meal and other |
cereal substitutes and the Food Ad
ministration is determined to call a
halt on such business.
State Food Administrator Henry A
Page, after an investigation of corn
price* in North Carolina and with
knowledge of the cost-of the com im
ported into the State, and with due
regard to the legitimate margin* that
may be charged by millers and re
tailers, announced definately that her*
after any price for corn meal to the
consumer above Ave cents a pound will
1 invite investigation, and dealers found
: to be chargin;: an unreasonable mar
gin will be disciplined. The only
' justification for a price higher than
| live cents a pound will be high freight
rates or unusual cost of handling due
i to some extraordinary circumstance*.
I Th Is procedure Is in line with the
new policy of the Foot! Administra
tion to hepin investigators at the con
sumers' and retailer*' end Instead of
' with the manufacturer* and jobber?.
If there is any profiteering on any
product anywhere along the Una of
distribution it will be indicated in the
I>rice t«> the eonsumer and with a nura-|
ser of competent inspectors in the I
field it will bo easier and decidedly I
mure effective to begin investigations |
it apparent profiteering with the re
tailer.
In some market.** in North Carolina
corn meal is selling for approximate-,
ly as much as wheat flour. The food
Administration holds that there
thoul.i t>* at least a difference of 20
per cent between the two products.
Kaiser's 'Gold' Cup
Wat Made of Pewter.,
New York. June 10 —German proof
df the saying that all is not gold that i
(flitters was forthcoming here today {
with the disclosure Uiat the "magnifi-,
cen|" cup which Emperor William
awarded to the American winner of
his ocean yacht racu In 1905 was not1
gold and way not worth $5,000 as was
announced at that time It was made
of pewter with a thin veneer of gold
and was worth scarce!) M0.
The deception reeoiled against the
emperor during the recent Red Cross
drive, it was revealed today, as it was
auctioned and reauctioned until it
added 1125,000 to the nation's mercy
fund.
President Wilson was in the audi
ence when "the gold" trophy bearing
the emperor's likeness engraved on
the side was offered for auction a lew
weeks ago. II« probably was desi
ruus of determining the real value of1
the cup as well as witnessing the auc

given as a prize.
