WATCH FOR the July list of Victor recordn the latest pkjf iotic music on »ale July l«t at Robe* Walker Fur niture Co. A Record Will be Kept. Win-ton-Salem, June !5.—Atten tion is being called through a bulletin' issued from Stat* headquarters forj War Savin** to the fart that a record j will be kept of every person's support j to the War Savings campaign during, the week of June 23-28. During the week beginning June 2.1, every tax payer will be called on to subscribe his utmost—for himself and the de-^ pendent member* of his family—to the War Savings loan. A record will lie made and kept of his subscription or his reason for not subscribing. The government wants to know if there are those who are not willing to sup-| port the government in times like these by subscribing to the most at tractive loan that any government has ever offered its people. In other words, the time has come when the people m ist either take the loan vol untarily or submit to more drastic measures of financing the war. The reasons assigned for keeping a record of everybody'* support dur ing the War Savings drive are many. In the first place, people have as much right to know who are the deserters at home as to know who are the de serters in the army. Deserters in the War Savings Campaign are no more due the protection of secrecy than de serters at the post. Furthermore, the government proposes to deal with those who desert its cause at home as it would ileal with those who deserted in active service. The two particular features of which a record will be made and kept »s a result of the drive of June 23-28 will l>c the amount of the pledge made by every taxpayer, or his excuse for not pledging, or if hi:< pledge is not in keeping with his ability; and furth er, for hi* failure to attend the school houe meeting on Friday, June 28, to which he has been summoned under the proclamation of the President of the United States.

C. in ui'ilrim r 1. i .■ 1-l n»«nded to the yrwt marshal gener al that young lawyers and traveling nales— n ha placed ill the category of nun-productive workers who will come under the work or rtght amendment to the selective service regulations. There w no more useless man in the State than the young lawyer. Major I-angxton «a>», from his experience as a lawyer, and he points to the de ■ reaae in litigation and the infrequen ry of court terms in the State in proof of hi* contention that the younger lawyers who are within draft age and who have been granted deferred clas sification for various ground*, should be required to engage in productive work or he placed in Class I. His opinion of traveling salesmen is based on the reduced output from factories and manufacturing estab li hments on account of decreased la bor supply which, he believes, makes a reduction in the traveling""sales fores, even where women cannot he employed, the easier. The provost marshal general's def inition of persons nonproductively employed u. ludes: persons engaged in the serving of food and drink, or either, in public place*, including bo teds and social clubs; passenger ele vator operators and attendants, door men, footmen, carriage openers and other attendants in clubs, hotel, storey, apartment houses, office, build ings, and hath houses; persons includ ing ushers and other attendants, en gaged and occupied in and in connec tion with games, sports and amuse-. ments, excepting actual performers in legitimate concerts, opera* or theat rical performances; person* employed in domestic service; sale* clerks and other clerk* employer! in (tore* ami other mercantile establishments.

Up to December, 1917, 206 ships were recovered. In the present year, to the end of May 117 have been salv aged, the increase being due to im proved methods and not to the great er activity of U-boat*. Among the difficulties encountered ha been the em: -ion of poisonous ;':t e from the rotting cargoes of sunken -hips which sometimes have caused the lo- of lives. One salv age hip was torpedoed while work ing on a wreck while sometimes the work of weeks was required to salv age ships. In one instance a ve-sel was raised fifteen fathoms l/y the use of com pleted air. NOTICE OK APPLICATION FOR PARDON! The undersigned will apply to Kin Excellency, Hon. T.
