THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. 225 West 39th Street, New York City, is our sole and exclusive Foreign Advertising; Agent. "Long May It Wave." Will Americans-become a nation of savers insteadof spenders? You now have the opportunity. w. s. s "Did you get your six eggs a day this year?'' asks the Asheville Times. We hasten to remind that paper that Polk county boasts no millionaires. v. s. s. Don't remove the economical use of foods just because the Food Adminis tration is removing all restrictions as to the use of certain foods. w. s. s. Instead of putting so much food on your own table send a few pounds of it to the poor starving people of Eu rope by limiting the amount you use. w. s. s. National Fuel Administrator Gar field has resigned. Chairman Baruch, of the War Industries Board, has re signed who next? Asheville Times. We hope it will be Postmaster Gener al Burleson. w. s. S- Asheville is making extensive prep arations for the amusement of her guests next summer. Amusement is just as necessary to a resort town as anything else. Tryon should not put off the matter any longer. w. s. s. Remember that the War Savings campaign will end in Polk county on December 31st. We are still far be ldw our quota. If you haven't bought as many stamps as you should don't delay the purchasing longer. W. s. s Any one who becomes extravagant in the use of food just because the re strictions have been removed is just as much an enemy to the country and humanity as they were when they were surrounded by restrictions. w. s. s. 'Freedom of the Seas"is likely to be quite a stumbling block in the way of a speedy peace agreement at Versail les. Recent experience with Germa ny in the indiscriminate use of U boats make some kind of a settlement along these lines necessary. w. s. s. "Both at home and in the Far East the American soldier was regarded as an unpleasant and inevitable nuis ance," says Capt. von Salzman. of the German army. Wfc suspect that vor: Salzman isn't the only German whe thinks the American soldier an"un pleasant and inevitable nuisance" just now. We would if we were a Ger man. w. s. s. If,- during the time of the great flood of 1916, the Red Cross had had an organization in Polk county, im mediate and substantial aid could have been rendered the stricken peo ple of th county. It is just as impor tant that the Red Cross be kept going during peace times as it is during war times. One dollar per person is but a small contribueion to give to sueh a big cause. w. s. s. Dno't think for a moment that be cause the peace armistice has been signed that the need for the Red Cross cases. Remember that practi cally all our boys are yet overseas and need the ministrations of that great body of humanitarians just as much now as at any time during the war. Some of ourboys are going to be oyer there for a long time to come, and it is absolutely necessary that t, e Red Cross organization be kept over there as long as any of our boys re main in service: w. s. S- One of the great lessons that Amer lcanshouldjeartv from the war is the habit l of , savimf; & The restrict! ons throwh .arqund thei.iise of foods show ed us-ihat we vetr eating- entirely too much. Now then if we are to return to the. old extravagant use of many articles of -food, then one great lesson is lost. Qne article that American's have always used too much of was su gar. Just because you can now buy all vyou desire is no reason why you should, abuse the privilege. If the American people return to the old ex 7aQthabits then food restriction woVgi?e in force- ln other Mlf make'a glutton of your- sen just because you can. ' RED CROSS ROLUXAU JS SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Of all the observances of Christmas the American people have known the one this year will be most In keeping with the true spirit of the day. Self cen tered exchanging of gifts will be little in evidence because our resources are pledged to much more Important use. The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call is conceived In the new light. When the American man, woman or child pays the nomi nal membership dues the action far transcends an ordinary con tribution. Wherever people are starving, wherever they are sick, wherever they lack shelter, the Red Cross Christinas Roll Call will stand for renewed hope and the promisV of efficacious relief. How necessary, then, that the answer of the American people should be overwhelming. The amount of money raised is sec ondary. The world will measure our humanitarian purpose by the number of names enrolled. If the word goes out that FORTY MILLION Americans have Joined the Red Cross or a greater num ber all mankind will be revived by the practical proofr of our idealism. Those who have been on the firing line know that the work of the Red Cross will not end with the proclaiming of peace. In many respects the demands upon the Red Cross will in crease as new fields of relief are opened. The readjustment pe riod will present many opportu nities for sharing our abundance with our world neighbors, who are at rock bottom in every hu man respect. Every American will be think ing along this line because the needs in Europe and Asia will stand forth with insistent call to his and her sj-mpathy. In; the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call thp aim, la tofnlaee the entire AmerlcaA pwplfe on frecord' jas approving; tne itea urpssfinp w ,t Such approval will make every dollar expended abroad have a sacred significant to the bene- ficlarles. v To register TOUR approval of the Red Cross all you need is a heart and a dollar I it it it it it it it it POLKCOUHTYJffEWS. THYON, N. CL J dfeadwghacold. Don't trifle with it. 5 At the first shiver or sneeze, take tASCARA M QUININE DEMOCRACY VS. AUTOCRACY. "There Is no royal road to food conservation. We can only accomplish this by he voluntary action of our whole people, each element in proportion to its needs. It is a matter of equality of burden." The truth of this statement, made by the United States Food Administrator soon after we en tered the war, has been borne out by the history of our ex ports. Autocratic food control in the lands of our enemies has broken down, while democratic food sharing has maintained the health and strength of this coun try snd of the Allies.
