There are other purposes for which
money is need. Part of our army of
2,000,000 men must be , kept iu Europe
until the peace treaty is signed.1
These soldiers must be- fed, .clothed
and otherwise maintained. , Then they
must be brought . home. -
The sick and wounded must be car-,
ed for in hospitals. The army must,
be demobilized. There are thousands
of maimed soldiers, heroes . of the
p-eat -war, who must be taught self
supporting trades and given an oppor
tunity to earn their living. ' c
This reconstruction work at home
must be carried on. The job must be
finished. The American- people who
furnished the money to win , the war
must supply it also to bring the . na
tion hack to a peace basis.
i "NO MEAN COUNTY."
The apostle Paul5 'in identifying
himself -to the Captain of the Roman
Guards said he was a native of Tar
sus, in" Cilicia. a citizen of no mean
ity. - He was proud of his home. - He
did not use adjectives in describing it,
prefering to leave much to the im
agination. A citizen, of Polk may
well be proud of his county as well as
the Oid North, State. Its majestic
mountains, its grand forests, its glo
rious . climate and : the' best of all its
pure water in abundance.) One could
go on with a great list of natural at
tractions that PolkN Counts i a. Mo &uA
with and like Saul of Tarsus we can
say, we are . citizens of no mean
County, . - ' . .
A citizen of Pennsylvania in speak
ing of our county said The Almighty
has done wonderful thincs -fnr
but you have not1 done much for your.
at first but after consideraion it
would seem that "the shoe. fits."
At the Tryon Graded School5 4cbm
mencement exercises, a few. years ago
the County Superintendent of Schools
referred in his smech to Polk Conntv
A number in the audience' tittered at
the name of their home county. Com
menting on the incident afterward
a, man of high standing said: "So
long as sentiment like that exists we
can not - make mucli progress. : 'Thank
goodness . that sentiment has passed
away and .we take pride in Polk, "no

; - ALL BOUND AROUND.
A man "came into the bank recently
to get a check cashed. He dug down
in his pocket, pulled out a - roll "all
bound - round with a woolen string."
In said roll was the check' 'and '-pert
haps as much as " three or four hun
dred dollars in bills. ' He nrobably
has no banking connection and car
ries his money instead of banking it.
He was not asked to make a deposit
here;' for the reason some people ar.e
very S suspicious. ' This money does
the man no good nor anyone else.
He stands a good chance of being rob
bed," the money - lost or burned. He
does hot know that if every person
carried all the money, he gets hold of
business would come to a standstill.
An hundred persons carrying $50.00
each takes $5,000.00 oyt of circulation
and business channels and does the
person earrying it no good whatever!

Secretary of Treasury Urges
: Citizens to Keep Grovern
: ment Securities Until They
Shall Have Matured.
Carter Glass, Secretary of the Unit-
ed States Treasury, has issued a warn-"
ing to patriotic American ''citizens
against unscrupulous persons who ad
vertise that they are willfhg ; to pur
chase War Savings Stamps. Mr. Glass
does not wish to have the goyernment
securities sold at sums below their
actual value. . ' ;"
He points out that people who, are
actually in need of money may -take
their War Savings Stamps- to a post
office and receive cash. Mr. Glass
nrges holders to keep their stamps
until maturity. ,
He states that War Savings Stamps
belong only to the individual who first
purchased them and that people who
offer to buy stamps at low premium
are violating the letter of the law in
o doing. Men and 'women selling
stamps are 'not only losing .money
which rightfully. belongs to them,' but
are aiding unscrupulous agents to
reap profits. :
