Have You Forgotten—
The severe cold last winter? Well, we
are going to have another just about as

bad and unless you are prepared, you
are going to suffer. We can fix you up
so that you will hardly know it is cold
if you will let us sell you a Wilson or
Cole’s Hot Blast Heater. We have them,
both wood and coal, with the safety
draft, so that there is no danger of chil
dren scratching coals out. We have
any kind of a heater you want and at
prices to suit any purchaser. Our
prices range from $3.00 up.

Counties That Have Received War Savings Hoi&or Flags
Requested to Raise Them Septelnber 21
Counties that have received their
War Savings Honor Flags, or will
have received them by September 21,
•re requested to celebrate the occa-
‘Biou by Jiolcing a patriotic rally on
that day at the county seat. Col. W. K.
Pries, State War Savings Director,
urges the chairmen cf every county
^hich will hav3 on that day a 100
per cent Vv'ar Savings record,—a rec
ord that the citizens of the county
have pledged themselves to buy their
full quota of War Savings Stamps be
fore January 1, 1919—to emphasize
this evidence of their patriotism for
tlie inspiration it will have for a con
tinued and even greater service
through the War Savings campaign.
W^hile the chairmen of each county
will make the plans for his county’s
celebration. Colonel Fries suggests
that patriotic speeclfes. music, pa
rades and a picnic dinner be made
•ome of the features, and that every
patriotic citizen of the county be in-
,Tited to attend
As the War Savings Honor Flag rep
resents as yet only the pledged vic-
itory of any county In the War Say
ings Campaign, the occasion of rais
ing the county’s Honor Flag should
be used to impress upon the m?ads
of the people the importance and value
of their redegming thoir pledges as
soon as possible and increasing them
to the full extent of their ability to
buy. It is believed that county chc.ir-
mt;n can turn to good accc.mc this
occasion and should lose no liiiie ia
making their plans for its success.
The Honor Falg is eight feet long
by five feet wide and is similar in de
sign to the National Service Falg. In
the large white center in place of the
stars are the blue letters and figures
“W. S. S. 100%”. This flag should be
raised either on the flag pole just be
neath Old Glory, or on a separate flag
pole erected on the Court House or
the Court House grounds for this
purpose.
To date sixteen counties have re
ceived their War Savings Honor
Flags. These are Wilson. Martin,
Greene, Pitt, Jones, Perquimans,
Edgecombe, Nash, Lenoir .Franklin,
Forsyth. Cabarrus, Iredell, Union,
Henderson and Gates. Many other
counties are expecting to raise their
full quotas and pledges and to recelra
their Honor Flag by September 21.
As the war progresses the demand
for labor becomes jrreater and 'great
er. Non-essential labor is beinj? jxrad-
ually eliminated and less essential la
bor is bein{? greatly curtailed. De
livery service by r etail j^'ocers is
j classed as less essential labor. It is
recosJTnized tliat some delivery service
I is necessary, but it is very clear that
the labor used in the delivery servlcc
by the retail dealers of the country
could be curtailed 50 per cent with
out working any hardship upon any
consumer or any dealer. Such a cui’-
tailment in delivery service will re
lease for productive Vvork tens of
thousands of men and youths.
In view of this situation, merchants
are requested to begin immediately
an adjustment of their business, so
that by September 15th they will be
\
able to confine their deliveries to one
delivery per day to each section or
community they serve. In every in
stance where it is possible the labor
used in such delivery service should
be reduced, some of the men and boys
engaged being released for other
work.
In many towns and cities merchants
could reduce their delivery cost from
50 to 75 per cent by organizing a co
operative delivery service under the
management of a capable superinten
dent. Such a co-operative service
could take over the delivery service
not only of grocers but also of dry
goods merchants and other dealers.
The co-operative service is recom-
' mended for the consideration of pa-

I triotic and far-seeing merchants.

We have a great inspiration
for a great effort. The news
from the battle front inspires
every American heart, not only
I with pride and patriotism but
I with a great incentive to do his
I or her part. There is no shirk-
1 ing, no shifting of the individ-!
iual burden, no selfishness by I
j American soldiers in France; j
there should be none here. We !
are both supporting the same
cause—our Army in one way,
ourselves in another. Theirs
is the harder part, but at least
we can do our part as promptly
and loyally and efficiently as
they do theirs.
