was held at the board of trade rooms
yesterday afternoon- Quite a number
of matters relating to the thrift cam
paign now under .way cam up for
discussion .and many plans were made
for the furtherance of the work of the
commiwe in Muncom)be county.
Reports were heard from a number
of the speakers who adriretmed the
echool children of the city and county
Just befor the Christmas holidays. All
reported that the school children had
entered enthusiastically Into the work
and that many assurances had been
riven for the loyal support of the
young: folks.
Owen NorveN. ohalrman of the fi
nance committee, announced his ap
pointments of members of hla com
mittee. The government has made
no provision to meet the expenses In
curred in the campaign and It will be
rne ffuty or the finance committee
to finance the movement. In this
coun-ty.
The matter of offering- prizes for
the children of the various townships
who make the beet records In sell
ing; the thrift stamps was left to a
commlittee, composed of Dr. R. F.
Campbell, W. H. Hlpps and Harry
Howell, who will take the matter un
der consideration and report their de
cision at a later meeting-.
Chairman Hlden Ramsey will an
nounce his appointment of committees
to confer with the. railroad men and
the Mercamts' association at an early
date- These two committees were not
appointed at the time the other com
mittees were named.
The matter of advertfislTug was dis
cussed at some length. The govern
ment has furnished some attractive

matter before tha people of the
county.
F. M. Weaver, chaduroaa of the

speak to the patrons of the moving
picture shows In the interest of the
war savings work.
A communication has been received
from Colonel F. H. Frieze, state
chair-man of the war savings com
mittee, stating that due to the unus
ually large amount of work at the
government printing office, an un.
avoidable delay has been caused in
securing te necesary printed matter
to be used In the campaign in the
schools. It to hoped this literature
will be forthcoming within a short
time.
OUT AGAIN; IN AGAIN;
GONE AGAIN GAIHEY
Amiable Con riot Makes His Fifth
Getaway From Gamp, and Returns
With Hope of Being- Hade a Trusty.
Gainey Baldwin, who has taken
French leave from the convict camp,
where he is serving a three-year sen
tence for having been found with an
extra wife or two, beyond what the
law allows, four times during the first
twenty months of his term, started
out on his fifth journey of adventure
yesterday, and soon had the camp
guards and the county officers watch
ing every road and beating the bush
about the countryside, where it seemed
that the man would have probably
made his way. Deputy Sheriff Fletch
er Austin spotted the escaped prisoner
at Riverside, and after starting to run
away from the approaching officer.
Gainey grew weary and short of
breath, turned about and Joined the
officer, and cheerfully made his way
back with him to the sheriff's office.
There he explained good naturedly
that he "hadn't set out to run away"
until some of the other convicts point
ed out what a good chance it was for
an escape Just then; whereupon Gai
ney Jumped for the bushes and
thought about it afterwards. He bor
rowed a smoke from one of the of
ficers and accompanied the deputy
sheriff over to the county Jail, from
which place he will return to the
camp this morning. It Is a little over
a month, since Sheriff Mitchel cap
tured Gainey on his last jaunt out of
custody, and returned him to the
ramp. The man declared that he just
wished they would make him
a "trusty" out at the camp, and then
there never would be any thing to
run for. He is a good prisoner, de
clared the officers at the camp, and
if he would only settle down there long
enough to give them a chance to do it,
they think he could and would make a
dependable trusty ln-the camp.

"Shoe Week"
At Anthony's
Beginning this morning, we devote the remainder of
the week to Shoe attractions "SHOE WEEK" we'll
call it.
This will be an opportune time for Ashevilleians to
become better acquainted with the high quality and
moderate prices of our Men's and Women's Shoes.
We Want You to Know Oiir Shoe
Department Better
J'SHOE WEEK" is being held that we may correct impressions
such as shown by the following incident:
A few days ago a lady Shoe customer, after purchasing a pair of
our moderate priced Walking Boots, said to the clerk: "I have been
under the impression that you carried only $15 to $18 Shoes."
That's exactly the idea we wish to correct. We carry them all
as low as $4.50 and as high as $1 5.00, and in every instance you'll
find Anthony's Shoes the best value for the price you pay.
Your newspaper will carry live Shoe messages from us each day
