Somebody announced that a great "patriotic rally" of the people of Ca tawba, Lincoln and Cleveland coun ties would be held at the Three Coun ty Corners, Zion Hill church, near Morganton, aSturday, August 13. The people were asked to bring their well filled baskets and spend the day in a "great patriotic meeting." The people went. Their hearts were burning for the nation in this hour of world distress. Their souls were stirred because of the danger confronting American ideals. Their purpose was to plan and pray for the success of American forces. The "patriotic" speakers were there. Beneath the disguise of loyalty, those men, and the more pity because they were .North Carolinians, passed the day in bitter attacks upon the lead ers who, just now, are directing the national program.

In one respect it was a speech long to be remembered the people will use it as a measure of the man who delivered it. It will not iserve as a propelling force. Charles S.

Unless you do that the war will drag on wearily until these This is What Director General McAdoo Expects of Railroad Employes. Railroad employes are specifically ordered by Director General McAdoo to show courtesy in dealings with the public and cease excusing train delays and other errors with the plea "that Uncle Sam is running the railroads now." " 'The public be damned' policy will in no case be tolerated on the railroads under the government con trol,' said the director general's order addressed, "To All Employes in the Railway Service of the United States." The order follows in part: "For many years it was popularly believed 'that the public be damned' was the policy of the railroads under private control. Such policy is inde fensible either under private control or government control. It would be particularly indefensible under gov ernment control when railroad em ployes are the direct servants of the public. - " 'The public be damned policy' will in no case be tolerated on the rail roads under government control.

That there are some men and wo men in the State who have not bought a single War Savings Stamp is now being found out through a review of the War Savings records that were made and kept from the drive of June 23-28. A review of these records show that not only many men and wo men have not bought stamps but that a large number pledged to buy a num ber far below their ability. As was stated at the time of the drive, these records are being investigated and the persons who refused to buy stamps or failed to make their pledges in keep ing with their means are being dealt with from State headquarters and Na tional headquarters. A more encouraging aspect obtain ed from reviewing the cards is that many people have already bought the full amount for which they subscribed for the whole year and hav increased their pledges, some doubling theirs, while others have pledged several times their original amount. North Carolina's experience in this feature of the War Savings campaign ly and efficiently. Courtesy costs noth ing and when it is dispensed it makes friends of the public and adds to the self-respect of the employe. "My attention also has been called to the fact that employes have some times offered as an excuse for their own shortcomings, cr as a justifica tion for delayed trains or other dif ficulties, the statement that 'Uncle Sam' is running the railroads now,' or 'these or McAdoo's orders,' etc. Children pry for Flclcher'o ! n-i m. mm : a fjk The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been ia use for over over 30 years, has borne the signature of. and has been made uzaer his per Z-2- sonal supervision since its infancy. c&&C Allow no one to deceive vou in this.

Candidate Jonas may believe the j statement he made to be true, but no other sensible man will believe it. ! Never before in the history of this nation has the world so highly re i spected America's leaders. Great men jhave led the United States and Eu jropean nations, have recognized their greatness, but the men who occupy the places of leadership today have gained the highest respect. Europe recognizes the statesmanship of Wood- Jrow Wilson; the efficiency of the mem bers of the cabinet, the administra tive ability of the war workers. National Success. The success that has been already achieved gives emphatic denial to the statement of Candidate Charles S. Jonas. The people who have kept even-partially in touch with the trend i of events know better than to accept the statement of Mr. Jonas as fact. The smallness and the meanness of the speech. Call it "patriotism" land the world would hide itself in very shame. Republican Policy. The speakers at that "opening Re publican rally" disclosed the Republi can policy and the Republican pur- pose. The disguise is cast aside. Dem jocrats of North Carolina know now j what to expect from Republican stump j speakers. Attacks on President Wilson and than statements of this character "Recently the wages of railway em ployes were increased, involving an addition to railroad operating ex penses of more than $475,000,000 per annum. In order to meet this in crease the public has been called upon to pay largely increased passenger and freight rates. The people have accepted this new burden cheerfully and patriotically. The least that every employe can do in return is to serve the public courteously, faith fully and efficiently. "A great responsibility and duty rests upon the railroad employes of the United States. Upon their loy alty, efficiency and patriotism depends in large part America's success and the overthrow of the kaiser and all that he represents. Let us not fail to measure up to our duty and to the fust demand cf the public that rail road service shall not only be efficient i buying stamps regularly, they are go 5no- to he able to buv a far greater " number than they expected. No apprehension is felt at State headquarters that the full amount of nlprWc subscribed bv the counties will not be redeemed. -.The concern that is now felt is in getting the eighty-five counties which have not yet pledged their War Savings quo tas to do so by September 15. When this stage of the campaign will have been reached, State headquarters will feel that the State is in sight of her goal. 5 Why the Crop Failed. If we are to judge by the stories that appear in the papers, all the fishermen are cultivating war gar dens, and exercising their well-known powers of imagination and exagger ation on the fruits of their labors. In a railway train, says the Argo naut, the conversation turned to gar dening. "I guess," said Johnson, "none of you ever saw such parsnips as I grew last year. Why, do you know I had to hire a steam derrick to get them out of the ground." parsnips," said In Dse For Over 30 Years The Kind You Have Always Bought TH E C E NTAUR COM PAN V, NEW YORK CITV.

Notwithstanding the fact that thou sands of stenographers and typewrit ers have been appointed in the gov ernment service in Washington, D.

J. A card was received recently by his parents announcing his safe ar rival overseas. Before entering the service he was engaged in fruit ranch ing in Washington. Drying fruit concentrates the su sar, the amount cf sugar in some fruits is over 50 per cent. Dried fruit makes excellent jam, pickles, sale-' s and ice cream, and when eat as stewed fruit needs less sugar than fresh fruit. Select the sweetest fruits for drying. Maximum production means this: The business man, busy as a bee, but like a bee that eats all its own honey and leaves none for the hive, will be classed in this war time as worse than the wealthy idler. Some industries now have preference. So every busi ness man must help, by actual work by other co-operation, in putting war needs first. If fruit is allowed to become soft ripe on the trees it will acquire enough sugar on its own account to make it very palatable for canning without sugar. Where fruit is abundant, can ripe fruit in its own juice. and they are purposing m hearts to give loyal, unswerving sup port to the national administration. Where It Helps. "Do you think early rising is good for your health?" asked the languid city visitor. "I don't know about my health," re plied Farmer Cobbles, "but next to sun, rain and fertilizer, it's 'the best thing there is for crops." We expect, as a matter of course, that our soldiers and sailors will do as they are ordered. Why should we not be just as prompt in our response to the government? Our men are ordered to expose themselves to the guns of the .Huns. We are asked only to save and to loan our savings to the Government. Can we refuse this request? For dark cakes, and chocolates, coffee, or caramel ice cream use half and half sugar ancf molasses. For light cakes and light creams use half and half sugar and white syrup. Chronic Constipation.

Entrance salaries range from $1, OOOto $1,200 a year. Most appoint ments are made at $1,100. Higher salaried positions are usually filled through promotion, original appoint ments at salaries in excess of $1,200 being rare. Examinations are held every Tues day in 550 cities and the commission states that an examination will be held in any city, day or night, when there is prospect of assembling a class of as many as three competitors. Eligibility for appointment may be obtained through passing an examina tion in practical tests in shorthand and typewriting ,or in typewriting alone. It is practical to complete such an examination in one hour. Representatives of the Civil Service Commission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information to persons interested. The Room Registration office of the District of Columbia Council of De fense maintains a list of rooms in private homes in Washington which are available to newly appointed gov ernment clerks. All rooms are care fully inspected before being listed. The Room Registration office states that the usual charge for rooming ac commodations with board, that is, the two principal meals of the day, is $40 a month. To obtain this rate it is usually necessary for two persons to share a room. In addition, the government is erecting residence halls, including restaurants, for the use of Federal employees in Wash ington. It is expected that the first units will be ready for occupancy by December. The Room Registration office states that it is able to provide accommodations in the meantime. size easily beat all records, and just how far the root penetrated into the earth we could only guess. But to our disappointment the plants sud denly sickened and died." "That was certainly a pity," said Johnson, sarcastically. "What was the matter with 'em. Outgrew their strength, I suppose?" "Well," replied Perkins, calmly, "we found out afterwards; it was be cause the end of the roots had been eaten off by rabbits in Australia." The government needs your money; you need its stamps. Mark the Reads. Asheville Times. Eighteen months ago the legisla ture of North Carolina passed a bill and this resultant law provided that the boards of county commissioners of North Carolina put up guide posts along the public roads of the State. The Times is not informed as to the action of the county commissioners of many counties, but is advised that in a large number of counties at least, little attention, if any, has been given to the action of the. State legis lature. In the enactment of the law, the legislature acted wisely. The guide post is of value to every traveler and should be in place. The home peo pie as well as the tourist would be saved much time and inconvenience if thf .sims were at all crossroads and forks of the highways. A year and a half has elapsea since the law was passed. These guide posts are needed, and they should be immediately ordered and installed along the public roads not only in this county but in every other county in the State. 3 2 0 n 3 y 3 92 o 8S83S33S88882S8828838382SSg2S28 c o o GOOD YEAR UNITED STATES MECHELIM AND PENNSYLVANIA Casings and Tubes are as good as made-none better.
