X9J7. &as been formulated and announced by tne Treasury department and goes into opera tion Monday. December 3. The plan put it easily in reach of every American ddaen to save money and at trie same time aid the government by supply ing it with the sinews cf war. , Stamps, which are the government cer tificate cl indebtedness, are to be sold in two dccminariona thrift stamps, which coat as cents each, and war-aavings stamp, which cost from 4ia to $4-33 each, accord ing to the month in which they are pur chased. . , With the first thrift stamp the purchaser Is given a thrift card with spaces for x5 s tarn pa. When 16 thrift stamp have beta purchased and affixed the thrift card can be exchanged for a war-aavinga stamp by paying the difference between the lj . the thrift stamps represent and the airreat value d a, war-earing stamp, which in De cember, 1917, and January, 19x8, will be $a.X3, and tberealter x cent for each suc ceeding month during the year 19x8. With the first war-aavinga stamp ob talned by purchase or exchange the owner Is given a war-aavings certificate contain ing space for 30 war-savings atampa. If the 30 spaces are filled during December, 197 or January, X9X8, the cost to the pur chaser will.be t.X3 for each stamp, or 5330 for the full certificate, and on the xst day d January, X933, the government will redeem the certificate at 5x00, giving the holder a net profit d $X7.6o for the use of his money. ' Although these Investment do not ma ture until January x, 19 sj. provision i made whereby upon ten daye written notice alter January x, 1918. such certificates will be re deemed by pottmattera at their cost to the purchaser plus x cent a month on each war saving stamp on the certificate. The thrift stamps do not bear interest, but the war-aavinga stamps bear 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. The certificate will be dated January a. xgx8, and mature lmury x, 1933. Under the plan an amount as small a 35 cents can be invested in a government se. curity, and as soon aa $4 haa been thus in vested an 1 merest-bearing certificate of the. United States government can be secured. The stamps and certificate can be ob tained from post offices, bank or trust com panies, at most railroad station, stores, fac tories and many other public place. , Having the entire wealth of the United States back of them, and being redeemable as above stated, there i no danger of sny depreciation in value of the certificates, GETTING HACK. The Congressmen are now going back to Washington. Major Stedman leaves to morrow and Monday congTets goes to it grind. The session may adjourn for the holidays, it always doe; but it will be short. Some d the wise ones predict that the aeaaion after the first of the year will Last long into the summer, while other are d opinion that it will be cut short. There will be little politic played in the next session. It is understood that the country is at war and congressmen of all parties are loyal. Therefore there will be no poUtica, no attempt to put this party or that party in the hole; but a united front will be found ready to back the government to the limit in the prosecution of the great world war. There will be much war legis lation. Transportation and conservation and control d many things win be consid ered, but whatever cornea up it will be found that there la a solid con press back d " the President. This is no time to talk to the galleries and no time to split hairs. Every dtixen under the flag la interested in a successful termination d the war, and it doesn't make any difference whatever to what party a man belongs. 'It U a Nation'a fight, and undivided a Nation ia behind the Pre id cot. MILITANTS OUT. The releasing cf the militant suffra gettes from the Washington fail came a a surprise to the deluded fools who imag ined they were poaing as martyr- Some d them pretended they did not want their freedom -but a sorry lot of junk it was. Thanksgiving Day found them out d JaU. but they will perhaps return to their folly. Tha President doesn't mind them it is simply a Joke as he seea it, and yet a tragedy. To know that a woman can make such a complete fool d herself, aa these women did, rather euggesta that maybe it would be unwise to grant the ballot to the sex. Rut when it ia remembered that there la a percentage of fools, idiot and Irnbe cHe In all parties the scene looks differ ent.

The city is buying a little wood aa we jog along. It ia costing around four dollars. cord delivered, and there will be no wood, famine in this town this year; no danger of freering to death, and no danger d getting wood at cost. WINTERS TO WASHINGTON. Mr. S. R. Winters, a cracking good newa paper man and a capital good fellow, who for many yeare has conducted the buteau d the News and Observer at Durham, has been called to Washington to represent his paper in the national capital. Winters has many friends, and. her la hoping he will Ilk hi new. position. We regret to see Hm leave North Carolina but he wiU oxn back. A cxnart Aleck professor named Whipple, teaching a. school rf Joumallam la Vir ginia, talked too much and haa been forced to resign. He waa a pro-Germaa yawpiat, and h got be in apple pda order. THE NEXT CONGRESS. When Congress reassemble Monday, iter a recess of fifty-five days, it will begin wbst promises now to be the busiest ses sion of. either the first or second administra tien of Woodrow Wilson. The excitement and tense aituationa of the special session, or "war Congress." will not be witnessed; yet the new Congress will be called upon not only to provide adequate machinery and funds for running this stupendous war, but will engage in aU the important detail and domeauc mattera or "general legisla don" d peace times. . It is well enough that the two. principal political parties have agreed to lay down their party grievances for theunited prose cution of the war, for the congressional line-up is almost evenly divided. The Con gress will have axs democrats, axx republi cans, a progressives, 3 independents, 1 pro hibitionist, x socialist and 3 vacancies. Two members Representative Heintz of Cincinnati, Ohio, and La Guard! of New York city resigned to fight Germany. The third vacancy is caused by the chain d Repreaentarlve Martin d Chicago. All three were member of the rcpifblican party. Questions of grave concern in the con duct of the war will demand the co-operation of Congress. It is estrrnated that 3x2,7ooooo,ooo will have tobe provided for the fiscal rear ending Jtme 30, xosa.. This does not include any additional Ddgds for 'loans to the allies; neither does h include any additional sums for the current fiscal year. It baa been estimated that $3000, oooyooo mora will have to be ptovided-either through bonds or taxation for the current year. Expenditures now are scTbls that some way is sought for a men economical ad ministration. Last session efforts were made by Chairman Fltrgeraid. of the com mittee on appropriation in the House, to eliminate that committee temporarily and appoint one joint commiftee of republieana and democrata to look after appropriation and prevent waste. The plan wa defeated before it reached the floor cf the House. Chairman Pou, d the rule committee and. the representative d the Fourth North Car olina district, is prapaimg to submit a proposition of this nature. He-would make the' chairmen and ranking republicans of the several cornmittee having power to ap propriate funds member d a committee to supervise expenditures.. The latest su'gig-' lion is to create a big committse of 35 rnem bert from the republican and democratic parties. Subcommittees wouH look after particular departments. The entire com mittee would scrutinise estimates and ex penditures and cut down wherever neces sary. Doubt exists, even among the peopf wanting this plan, as to whether it can be brought about or not It is revolutionary and would deprive chairmen of individual committees of some of their power, in the view of opponents of the plan. Early in 1916 agitation began for univer sal military training for the young men d the Nation. This was on the program in the preparedness campaign of that year and committee hearings were held, but lit tle progress was made. A bill wa intro duced in the Senate during the special ses sion, but was never taken up. Efforts will be made to put this on the legislative pro gram at this session, in connection, per haps, with provision for additional armed forces. Several suggestions have been made for putting universal military train ing in operation. Representative Caldwell, of New vYork, would rrlr every boy nineteen years d age go into a training camp aix months yearly until twenty-one year old; then au tomatically he would become subject to military service, but not before that time, and would continue subject to call, perhaps, until the age of 31. This plan is similar to the one outlined in the Chamberlain bill in troduced last session. Western states are demanding some leg islation at this session in the interest of irrigation and oil-leasing projects. One of these measures would take certain oil, coal and other mineral lands from the public lands and allow them to be leased to private individuals for development. Secretary d the Navy Daniels, it is be lieved, will wage vigorous opposition to this on the ground that these public lasra should be conserved for the GovernmtsrL This contention will win some strength a a war argument, for the Government has big demand for coal and oil in driving thip over the seas to whip Germany. House leaders promised the prohibition ists last summer that an cpcrruiriry -would be given to vote on the submission d a pTombicion amendment to the Federal con stitution. This wa adopted by the Senate last session, and only the fact that the to- rram for the House waa lnmttd to war Iter fclaeto prevented svvotothere. TJ14 bit! errata, furthermore, will be sertivtcts stronger this session than last. Southern industries win be beocfitod the Webb capiat bH become a law. It has "hung fire' on the Senate' fade two years. The South, however, is not the only ben fi clary, for it applies to the entire coemtry. The Webb bvH would suspend the operation of the Sherman an ti-trust law so Americajp rnanufaetiarer could make cxrtam-combma tiona for recrnrrg trade abroad. - Tha- efiestloti of aEens sxd3isrto.drait will be (ertled early this session; f is be lieved.

Congress adjourned in October, with the -House and Senate seething over charges of . disloyalty. The House' had witnessed for three weeks the Heflin statements that he ; could name members of the House whose conduct was suspicious to him. In the Sen-;' ate an investigation by special committee ' was ordered into Senator La Follette's St i Paul-speech. This special committee will ! meet some time, next week. Col. W. jj Bryan is expected to come from Asheville i to testify. A tilt between him and La Fol-; lette i in prospect. . Some concern is felt over the Austrian situation, and from several sources demands have been made that the United States de . clare war on that country, as a German ally. It is not believed the President intends to ask that before he has more proof of an overt, act than at present. That remains to jc. seen, and he may take occasion to refer to that situation in his message to Congress Tuesday. o WHAT ABOUT OTHER THINGS? Colonel Robert Gray, of the Raleigh Times, harks back to ye olden time and . lives again the scenes of his youth well, say forty years ago, when he was quite a boy. He sharpens his lead pencil and sits down and writes about brown sugar. E,town sugar, theTsweetmeat of childhood; of ye3ed the kind mother used to make I die pies never approached in this pre-di-gesfed and altruistic age. Hear him: Now that we are faced with the pos sibSaty of having to experiment with "long weet'ning" in lieu of the sugar that is being doled out in pound pack .ages'on condition thit one buys a drum and a hobby-horse, may one ask what has become of that useful confection, the cioVfashioned brown sugar? T It is -still possible to buy sugar that ia not white, but it were a slander to say that it resembles in looks or re motely approximates in quality the sub stance that one used to get out of the bag to spread on the biscuit that one took to school. In all except name the t?0'"thmjjs are related only by the most . fi-lint ties. The old-style brown sugar was more qfca paste. It came in lumps; it spread thickly and smoothly. To the hungry boy ft was sweet with a meatiness that no other sugar possessed and that candy did not have. It was nourishing, staying, toothsome. Whereas the pres ent rcown sugar" is an off-color rela tive of the" effete granulated type, that was fit for coffee but not for eating, for . ladies and little girls, perhaps, but not for men in embryo who had learned to hitch up their, trousers and step forth as if they meant to do something, whether or no. But it is a nice thing to do, to take these ejocursive flights in fancy and go back to the old days--the old days that will never come again. The old doys and the old songs are cherished, and with them the brown sugar. But while the question is be fore the house, what has become of some other things that once held the boards and did a chore worth while? You never see any of the old-fashioned butter scotch, that . . I" .T I 11 saccnarme compound wim a lirac putter uu the side, done in tissue paper and guaran teed to melt in your month while you wait.. You never see exposed for sale any of the old cakes of maple sugar, five for a nickel,; and the real thing just from a Vermont su-'; gar tree and fashioned by a revolutionary sire. The cocoanut candy that tickled thef palate of the kiddie thirty years, good stuff it was, has gone into the" lumber room of time, sidetracked and sideswiped way down the curve, and, like Old Father Grimes, we. ne'er shall see it more. Then, too, we used; to have the candy pullings and mix the taffy in the golden curls of the girl we loved; the best; and popcorn balls sweetened with the pure old blackjack molasses adorned ai thousand tables but never again. All right for Colonel Gray to bring back the memories, naturally sweet, . of brown sugar, but there are other things which have; disappeared, and in his search wairant tfceyi should be included. Where are thy?TBd echo answers, where? THOROUGHLY OPTIMISTIC. The New York Herald doesn't, seem' tew fall for coal shortage stories; it doesn't' seem to want to get the New York folkj excited. It calmly and boldly writes andi prints this editorial : Don't worry as you look at that dwindled little coal pile on your ccJlar floor this morning. The order giving priority to shipments of ccc to the - northwest has been cancelled, and -fuel for both household and factory tesevis on the way to New York.
