GRAHAM, N. C., Dec. 0,1917.
, President Wilson read his message
to Congress Tuesday. Dispatches
from Washington say it is one of the
strongest State papers in the history
of the country. As soon as its read
i ing was finished the wires flashed it
H to everry corner of the civilized
world. It clearly sets forth Araeri-
ca'a position as to the world-war.
Emphatically ho says "tho United
States will not turn aside until tho
war is won and Germany is beaten."
He recommends war on Aufctro-
Hungary, the vassal and hel per of
Germany, which it appears Congress
will approve.
We hope to publish the priucipal
part of the papor in next issue.
On the West front tho Allies are
holding their own against the dogged
assaults of the Germans. The lat
ter have suffered heavy losses and
have somewhat ceasod fighting. The
Italians are in fine spirit and have
, stopped the Austro-German advance.
Russia in the North is figuring on
■ome sort o{ pcaco with Germany,
while in South Russia tho Russians
are still fighting the common entmy.
Christmas Savings.
.. The Citizens Hank will turn over
- about 16,000.00 to the members of
its Christmas Savings Club in i few
days, as a result of the systematic
laying aaidoof a few pennies, nickels,
dimes and quarters each week dur
ing the past year. A new club will
be started the week beginning Dec.
17th. Inatead of starting at u |ienny
for the first week and increasing a
penny a week for 50 weeks the de
' posit will be 25 cents a week flat,
, which will amount to about the same,
Then there will be the M)cts. a week
which will ptn out abont the same
a« the two-cent deyoait, and the dol
lar a week which will be about the
asms as tho four cent deposit. Any
one joining tho club can take as
many shares of each class as ho de
sires to so do. It is a fine plan for
laying something up for the Christ
mas times.

' ' RED CROSS SEALS.
An Opportunity for Everyone to "Ik>
His Bit"
Red Cross Christmas Seals are
sold to fight tuberculosis. They
have a uniform price of one ceut
each. Since 1908, when the Ameri
can Red Cross first issued seals,
the number of its workers selling
seals and the number of purchas
ers has multiplied each year, nntil
last yoar a record sale of 104,000,-
000 seals was reached, or over
$1,000,000 for tuberculosis work.
For this Fall alone au issue of
over 400,000,000 soals has been
printed, as many as were sold in
the nine previous years. During
those years the public was but
gradually coming to realize the
value of the campaign against
tuberculosis.
With the entrance of the Unitea
States into the war, reports have
come from Europe showing tuoer
culosis to he u serious obstacle to
victory. In France 150,000 soldiers
have been invalided b.ick from the
trenches with tuberculosis and the
number of cases among the civilian
populntion has increased immense
ly with the war. Tuberculosis has
lfkewise fallen heavily on the oth
er nations at war.
In times of peace "chief among
the causes of poverty" and "the
disease that kills most," tubercu
losis in time of war is doubly dan
gerous. The anti-tuberculosis asso
ciations in all the states now need
increased funds for work both a
mong the soldiers and prospective
recruits, teach in;* them how to
avoid tuberculosis, and among
those who remain in the factories,
fields, mines, schools and homes.
The control of tuberculosis is one
of the most important ways to con
serve the strength of the nation
in the supreme test of this war.
Kveryone who is allowed to sell
Red Crqss Seals is given an op
portunity to "do his bit" in a wa.v
that counts. It is a patriotic ser
vice.
The Red Cross Seal Sale is an ed
ucational campaign no less than a
means of raising money. Every
one who takes part In it helps to
teach health as well as to support
health work, and success jives
double satisfaction.
In whatever state Seals are sold,
at least 90 percent of the proceeds
is used for anti-tuberculosis work
there. Not over 10 percent is paiu
to the American Red Cross and the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis to
meet their expenses in supplying
[Seals, advertising matter nncf ser
vice for the support of their work.
The Selfish View of Conservation.
Food conservation, like tho buy
ing of .Liberty Bonds, does not
necessarily mi tail personal sacri
fice. Olio can liolp the cause of
tho United States without hard
ship. In fact, one can scarcely
avoid personal benefit. Almost
all of us can eat less with profit to
ourselves.
Apart from that, most of us will
bo obliged to oat less because of
tho cost of food. Taking as a basis
tho average retail prices for tho
Ave years just before the war, the
various familiar foods in July,
lAI7, showed the following in
creases in price in the Uuited
States: corn meal more than
double, 116 per cent; flour and po
tatoes more than double, 110 per
cent, each; lard nearly double,
81.8 percent; bacon, ham, round
steak, and pork chops, increase
two-thirds eaoh; sugar and sirloin
steak little more than a half each;
rib roast and poultry nearly a half
each; and inilk, but tor, and eggs
a fourth each.
In addition, all too few of us in
the United Slates have the habit
of thrift so usual in the Old World
countries. We are wasteful and
extravagant, individually and na
tionally, and sooner or later we
must learn the lesson of frugality.
Now is the accepted time; it
means national salvation.—News

—About Twenty Divisions.—General
Bynfl's Forces Make Gains In

Extremely hard fighting, with th ;
Germans using great forces of infant
ry In mass formation. Is talcing place
along the southwestern and south
eastern sections of the Cambral sa
lient. /
In the region of Qonnelleu, La Vac
querle and southward to Vendhuile
and northward toward Masnieres, bat
tles waged with great fierceness
throughout Monday, but with the Ger
mans nowhere sucessful in breaking
the British front. At U Vacquerle
they again succeeded in penetrating
the village from which they were ejec
ed previously, but a strong counter
attack again turned the scales In favor
of Genoral Byng's forces, who threw
out the enemy, inflicting heavy casual
ties on him.
As ID their previous attack!, the
Germans used great masses of artil
lery, but the British forces every
where met their onslaughts stoically
and at last accounts were flrmly hold
ing their line at all points.
Although the Germans In their of
fensive have been using men reckoned
at 20 divisions, the British have been
able at several points to regain some
of the ground they lost In the Initial
attack which was delivered with a
suddenness similar to that of Byng's
big drive toward Cambral. Sunday
night they had gained the eastern
edge of the village of Vlllers-Gulslaln
and driven out the Germans from La
Vacquerie. They held this latter po
sition until Monday morning, when
they were compelled again to cede it
to the enemy, only to take it again
later In the day. Southwest of Bour
lon village, at the west of Cambral,
the British also have recovered lost
terrain.
HOW TO PREVENT CROUP.
In u child that is subject to at

avoided.

was found floating in Tar river,

an insane asylum, is suspected.
CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH
REMEDY.
This is not only one of the best
and most efficient medicine for
coughs, colds and croup, but is also
pleasant and safe to take, which
i» ftnportant when medicine must
be given to children. Many moth
ers have given it their un-'iualifiea
endorsement. .

that It may prove fatal.
CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS.
Chamberlain's Tablets are intend
ed especially for atomach troubles,
biliousness. and constipation, ana
have met with much succdbs In the
treatement of those diseases. Peo
ple who have suffered for years
with stomach trouble and have been
completely cured by the use of
these tanlets. Chamberlain's' Tab
lets are also of great value for bil
iousness. Chronic constipation may
be permanently cured by taking
Chamberlain's Tablets and observ
ing the plain printed directions
with each bottle.

About 50 acres of that beautiful tract of land
lying along the road from Burlington to Elon,

Hughes land, has been sub-divided into small
farms of from one to five acres, and will be sold '
to the highest bidder, on the &bove date, or

This land has a long frontage on this fine Macadam road, about
half^of it covered with beautiful pines and cedars with shade
and fruit trees on some of it, two running brooks through the
property and a fine spring of water on one little farm, or "Villa
I Site." J - *

For the man who wants to live within a reasonable distance of
Elon, Glen Raven or Burlington, there is nothing better to be
had for the speculator or business man; or the young man who
has saved a few dolllars and wants to make a start towards own
ing real estate there is nothing better on the market to-day.
