,1UST BE MADE A
SUCCESS
OVERMAN SURPRISED AT
VON BERNSTORFFS WORK.
Slal a's Task t Raise $48,000,000 Not to Be Affected by Peace.
lioney Has Been Spent. Sute's Honor at Stake.
, en though the war li over and
neat r wlU soon be declared, the War
Savi gs Campaign la to be made a
lie" In North Carolina by raising
Its, $ J.f66.S8t by December SI. Sec
ret. ' McAdoo has Waid that raising
(he tale's War Sayings allotment la
th at call of the Government . tor
war nances this year and should be
the ; ple's most immediate duty. He
v urge Too petals to redeem their War
Sari ra pledges by Christmas and to
keer oh. buying stamps until the
Stat s entire quota is raised.
Tt re ire three reasons why North
CartVna. must raise her War Savings
a!lot -Vent this year regardless of the
coir si? of, peace and the end of the
wr. The first Is ber.hnae the money
csil: 1 f-r in tno Var Savings allot
w as already boon spent. Last
' people, gave the Government
.' -ord that it could depend on
thrr 'or the purchase of their Quota
of 'Vir Sayings , Certificates. The
OoVcrtiment 'took their word as then
bone land spent the amount in equip
ping -He soldiers with needed guns,
amnnnltlon and supplies, which act
brought the war to a speedier close
than would hare been possible had
this money not been spent. By giv
ing hefr pledge the people not only
helped to win the. war. earlier than
wou!l hive Wen the case btherwtse.
bnt ared millions of dollars and
thou ends of lives.
' ?U vr the government comes to the
ottls W V( e State with the request
giat they ttak good their word and
ra , their War Savings pledgee. As
ipatr'otlc American cttiiehs they can
do nothing fees. This Is m debt of
honor they will be glad to meet. If
for no othet reason, they would re
.de'eu thatr pledges to. appreciation of
the service! and taciiflees the boys
'haT,-ade at the front They would
sVdw 'their gfatftade la W aorn wiV
stanUal way thai aborting v'liT
and hurrahing for peace. They wonld
themselves make some self-denial to
show that they are worthy of the sac
rifices made by the boys.
Another reason for selling the
(State's full quota of War Savings
Stamps even though the war is over" is
became the expenses of the War are
still going on. The soldiers over
there as well as those over here most
be fed and clothed for several month's
to come. As a matter of fact, the
work of the soldiers over there is not
yet done and their expenses, even
though an armistice haa been reach
ed, continue to be enormous. Not un
til every) American soldier Is safe
again on American soil will the ex
penses of the war he over.
A third reason for making a suc
cess of the War Savings Campaign In
North Carolina is because the State's
reputation Is at stake. Thus far her
war record Is 100 per cent patriotic
She has made a success of all of her
Liberty Loans, her Red Cross, her
T. M. C. A. and other war measures.
and now ft remains to her to make a
success of her only unflnlshM war
job. The task of the people is u com
plete this task and give the State 4
10D per cent war record.
Will they do it? North Carolina
never has failed her country, and will
not fall this time. Her cltlseos will
be called on to redeem their
War Savings pledges and to buy an ad
ditional amount necessary to com
pleta the State's allotment by Decern
bar SL They will do H.
Two conditions tn North Carolina
assure the State a Wr Savings vic
tory. The first Is the unquestioned
patriotism of her people, and the eee
ond is the great wealth of her oitisens.
With this combination .North Caro
lina will rase her entire War fuVina'a
trdoU aid make a 100 nor 'cant 'wn
teoord.
Thinks Investigation of Brewers and
Hun. Propagandists Will Prove
Beneficial.
Washington, Dec. 8. "I am not
sure," said Senatoi Lee S., Qverman,
I chairman of the sub-committee of the
I senate judiciary, investigating the
brewers and the German propagahd-
ists, "that what we reveal will result
in putting: anybondy in juil, but before
I we get through the public will know
'just the sort of people we were har
i boring as friends before. We entered
the war. The atmosphere will be
clearer 'and our people will be better
infoiTned as to their neighbors when
I the facts are published. I think it
j is well to keep the record straight, to
make a thorough inquiry into the ac
tivities of the Germans and their
friends in this country."
Senator Overman declared that the !
ramifications of the (Jerrnan propa
ganda was a revelation to mm ana
other members of tbe sub-pommittee.
He never dreamed that Count von
Bernstorff had been guilty of such
questionable activities.
The south, said Senator Overman,
will come out with comparatively
clean hands. Germany was not table
to hire many people there.

Chicago, Dec. 9. Good wazes sren-
erally mean good health according to
Arthur ,b. Holder, member of the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education.
The higher the wage the better would
be the health of the employe and the
Ereater his output; he told the Ameri
can 'Public Health association today
in an address in which he advocated
an eight-hour dky and increased
wajres.
(Mr. Holder proposed that the fed
eral health agencies be concentrated
into one debartment with a secretary
at its head arid that the secretary
should be a member of the President's
cabinet.
(Panics, said Mr. Holder were
brought about more by inequitable
distribution of wealth than by any
other cause. He quoted statistics to
show that in 850 the wage earner ob
tained 23 1-4 cents of every doollar's
worth of value he created, but that in
lf10 he got only 161-2 cents. He
added:
"Formerly when the laborer got 23
cents in wages for each dollar of his
product, panics occurred about once
in 20 years, as witness 1837, 1857.
1877. Since real wages shrunk to 16
cents on the dollar, panics roll around
more frequently as the record shows
-.14. 1894. 1907, 1914.
"Vothinc influences our individual
health more than severe changes in
our economic life. During busy periods
workers are literally rushed to death.
During panicky periods, the workers
and employes spend a large part of
their energy fretting their lives
aWav.
'Since tbe union cigar-makers
adopted the eogiht-hour day in 1886,
from 12 to 15 years have been added
to the average life of the cigar
makers" he added. ISimilar experi
ences have been recorded by other or
ganized wage earners. The workers
realize that heltft is their capital.. To
keep health or improve health means
increased power to produce."
. The .speaker than gave a labor pro
gram Tor health and safety which in
cluded the following provisions:
"Continued agitation for a shorter
work day to a maximum of eight
hours for all manual toliers; demand
for a higher minimum wage for all
labor; release from Work at least one
full day in seven ;elimination of the
sweat-ship system; enforcement of
rigid child labor laws; abolition of
night work by women and minors;
equal pay for equal work regardless
of sex." , ,

The condition of Mrs. C. K. Howan,
Who has been ill with influenza and
threatened With pneumona, is critical
today .and much uneasiness is felt by :
her family and friends. She took a
turn for the worse last night and her
recovery is doubtful.

irfG8 STAMPS IS BEST INVEST-ftlENT.
STAhWS AAE FOR IIICH AND POOR
There are eight good reasons why
money Invested in War Savings
Stamps in December is the best In
vestment that a person can make.
Stamps cost in December 14.23 and
are redeemable In 123, fohr years
hence, worth $5.00. The eight re,
sons are:
' 1. Money Invested In War Savings
Stamps bears over i per cent com
pound interest No other Government
security pays aa great a rate of in
terest 1. ft Is non-taxable. Only when
money la Invested in Government se
curities is it free from takes.
S. It Is not subject to Judgment
creditors or to execution of any kind.
4. it Is redeemable at any time. If
a person who has invested his money
tn War Savings Stamps fines himself
overtaken by adversity,, sickness 6r
other emergency, he can, by giving
ten days notice to the postoffice where
his stamps are registered, get back
the amount of money he originally in
vested with about 3 per oent interest
8. It Is redeemable In Installments.
If a person needs a part of the money
he has Inverted in stamps before tbe
date of maturity, he can cash in the
Stamps in installments at different
times.
6. It enables the sntaU investor as
soon as he has 14.24 to become owhef
of a Government bond and a partner of
ttie Government. This Is a privilege
the average cltlien of the State has
never before had. At the beginning
of the war only one person In 30t
owned Government bonds. Now at
the dlosa of the war one person la
every five owns a Government bond.
Are yon a bond holder by owning a
Liberty Bond or a War Savings Cer
tificate? 7. Money Invested to War Savings
Stamps is an investment made when
money has a reduced purchasing
power to be paid back when It will
have a large purchasing power. To
day a dollar has the purchasing pow
er of only sixty cents on a pre-war
basis, whereas. In IMS. or after the
war. a dollar will hare at least the
purchasing power of 10 cents.
S. Registration of Stamps at post
offices Insures absolute safety. After
