Anyone in position to give the little boy a good home and who desires to adopt him is requested to communi cate with Major Harriss at the court house. The war saving conference that will V be held at the court house in Wil mington, Wednesday,- November 20 at 11 o'clock, is one of the important meet ings that will be held in this part of the state this year, or during the period of the war. The business that will be transacted at this meeting will be of the greatest import to the sfate and .iie counties to be represented. Representatives from state headquar ters at Winston-Salem, will conduct the conference. They will set forth the plans and give the instructions for making the" war savings campaign a success in North Carolina by Decem ber 31..

Making the war saving campaign a success is the most important war work now before the people and is their im mediate duty.

In the second game, staged by teams under the captaincy of Davis, and My ers, was opened brilliantly by Davis' team, which secured three consecutive goals during "the firstfew minutes of play.

Boweri, 321st infan try, 81st division, writes from France under date of September 30, to his pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Bowen, Kerr, N. C, as follows: " I guess you think I am rather careless about writing, but there are so many things a person wants to write about and so few things one $an write, until I don't take any interest in writing. However, you understand the situation. I am getting along fine over here and hope you the same over there. About the nearest home I can get now is to sit and think about what you are doing thousands of milefi away. Some of the things I imagine you axe doing now are harvesting the crops and talking about the price of every thing and the war. In other words I can imagine maneuvres of old Har re's store community. I don't know, but from the situation of everything here, I believe I will be able to see that place before very long. Well, I got very hungry today and after drill hours I made an .attempt to get some thing ready" -prepared to eat but failed all over town, so I bought me some eggs and beef and gave them to an old French lady. She cooked them very nicely for me, so I had a good supper. I could talk all day long to this old lady and I would not understand a word she said and she would not un derstand a word I said. These French people are very good to us and seem to appreciate our being here. I am learning French some but not very fast. It is a great thing to be in this war if a man can pull through and that is not much to do if he stays on the Job and don't go to sleep. I am see ing wonderful sights every day and am in a very quiet sector of the war. I have seen today's paper and it shows more than 50,000 prisoners captured yesterday. They are getting them by the thousands every day, but I guess you all get the war news daily." will happen to us but hope we will be sent back for a rest. Got a slight wound in the leg September 27, a ma chine gun bullet jus grazed the side ot I my leg. I am glad to say that was very slight and I managed to stay m the fight. Hope the good luck will con tinue. My tent mate at Camp Grc.ene was killed day before yesterday. My company was very close to his and I saw him while passing over the .ground crossed by his company. Have been in command of the company all during the drive, quite a job but would have rather have a company than a platoOn. We captured lots q prisoners and all kinds of material including an entire electric plant, as well as a supply station." bourn stated, but he was not in posi tion to intimate at this time what act ion the governmental department in tends to take in the matter.
