You will find them on sale at every postofftce and bank. w. s. s War Savings Week will soon be with, us. Make up your mind to help put Polk county "Over the Top,'' once "more. W. S. S. Some Menninites in Texas were given life .sentences because they re fused to don the American uniform when so ordered. Served them rierht. No time for "conscientious objectors" at this stage of the game. w. s. s. The American casualties, including killed and wounded, deaths from sick ness and captured amounts to about 7,000 at last report. We would like to know just how many Germans have been put away for safe keeping by our boys during that period. w. s. s. One press dispatch tells us that an -American officer became very much annoyed at a German machine gun which kept firing at him, and finally went to where it was, killed the Ger man in charge and then brought the gun back on his shoulders. It was amazing to the French. No telling what bur boys will do. W. S. S The Germans have started another great offensive on the western front but like the others it does not seem to be gaining very much headway. They have gained a little territory, but if press dispatches are true, at such ter rible loss of life as to nullify the gain in territory. They are still a long way from either Paris or thp oh ports. W. S. S The days of the loafer are num bered, and he will soon be a thing of , the past.- Instead of fixing the age limit at twenty-one the U. S. should have made it at jeast eighteen. There are many "kid glove" dandies of that age who are nothing more than par asites upon society, and should be made to work. W. S. S. It is evident that the people of Pclk county are in no mood for a po litical fight this year, and the fact Was Clearlv Hpmnnefvofo W fact that nobody wanted to run for office on either ticket. The Republi cans have weakened their chances for success by refusing to divide the offices with the Democrats and dc away with a political campaign. We have too big a job on hands just now to be wasting our time and energy m engaging in a political campaign. W. S. S. Russia has at last realized that a uerman treaty is nothing more "thar a scrap of paper." The German? have violated every section of the treaty made with that unhappy na tion, and there is now strong talk of organizing another great Russiar army. Those who know Russia Dest have predicted right along that it would be done. If she does that, ther it would be "Good Night" that much sooner for old Bill Hohenzollern and the Clown Pnnce.

V Th Tt eamnaim that must be put over with the same succesi that met the recent Red Cross and Liberty Loan drives is the War Savings Cam paign. This must be done, President Wilson says, on or before Friday, June 28. He has proclaimed that day National War Savings Pay and has called on every man, woman and child to subscribe all that in his honest opinion he will be able to pay during the remainder of the year to the War Savings Cam paign. When Mr. Vanderlip and his associates decided over a month ago that he War Savings Campaign should be made to go "over the top" nowinstead 3f taking a year and a month to do it, they sought a plan by which thls'could be done. The State of Nebraska furnished the plan, for this state had already subscribed several millions dollars over its quota and had raiad ovat.50 per cent of its sales. Mr. Vanderlip at once set about to know how Nebraska did it. He called into conference Mr. Ward M. Burgess, State Director of War Savinrs for Nebraska, and Mr. Kiddow, Mr. Burgess's right-hand man. Together they studied the plan in the light of a national plan, and with the experience of the two men who had worked it to a successful issue, they obviated mistakes and such features as to make it even more thorough and practiceable for other States. Consequently, not only North Carolina but other states of the Union have been asked to adopt this plan and put over the War Savins Campaign 'June 28. When Col. F. H. Fries, War Savings Director of North Carolina, was called to New York several weeks ago, with other state directors, to have this plan put before them, he was asked if North Carfollna could do it. "Sure," said Colonel Fries, "what Nebraska can do, North Carolina can do. Well put it over if it takes all the bun tin a: and the flags and the drums in the whole South to do it." ' With this conviction and determination, Colonel Fries came back and set about to perfecting the plans to make them most suitable to North Carolina conditions. These plans have been presented through conferences held at convenient places in the state to the county chairmen and other War Savings Workers. Every county chairman has in his hands a detailed copy of the plans, and he has been advised to follow the instructions step by step as given him to avoid confusion and to do the work with the greatest possible ease and efficiency. Only one important change in the national plan did Colonel Fries think best to make for North Carolina. That was to make tne campaijrn last a week instead of a day. Therefore, the week beginning June 28 continuing through June 28 has been designated as North Carolina War Savings Week. The Governor of North Carolina has issued a proclamation calling tor every citizen of the state to observe this week as War Savings Week by subscrib ing at this time all that he will be able to buy during the remainder of the year. The week begins on Sunday, June 23, with a state-wide appeal for War Savings in the churches and Sunday Schools. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday, a house-to-house canvass will he made in every township in the State to secure War Savings pledges. Every taxpayer or householder will make his pledge or give his excuse for not doing so- A record of every per son's pledge will be taken and kept. On Friday, June 28, the drive will cul minate in a War Savings rally held at every school house in the state. The State Director has called on every person In the school district to attend this meeting either to celebrate the occasion of the township's subscribing its quota or if that be not the case, to finish raising its quota. In other words, there is but one thing for any township to do on that day, and that is to sub scribe its quota to the War Savings Campaign. Likewise, there is but one thing for every person to do, and that is to do his duty to the War Savings vo.iiyaiii, wuiuu is liits uLiuuai. iub vovernmeni expects no less of every man, woman and child in the state on this occasion.

"This war Is one of Nations, not of armies, and all of pur ne hundred mil lion people mustibe economically and industrially adjusted to war condi tions if this Nation is to play its full part in the conflict. The problem be fore us is not primarily a financial problem, but rather a problem of in creased production of war essentials and the savins of the materials and the labor necessary for the support and equipment of our Army and Nary. Thoughtless expenditure of money for non-essentials uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm, mines and factories, and . overburdens trans portation, all of which must be used to the utmost and at their best for, war purposes. The great results which we seek can oe obtained only by the participation f every member of the nation, young and old, in a National concerted Thrift movement I therefore urge that our people everywhere pledge themsalves aa suggeested by the Secretary of the Treasury to the practice -of Thrift, to erve the Government to their utmost Increasing production in all fields isary to the winning of the war, By virtue of an order of the Clerk jf: the Superior Court of Polk county made in the Special Proceeding en titled, "V.
