Although it is believed that illicit
wireless communication has for the
time been stopped so that news from
this country does not get to Germany
for a fortnight or so, we may be
sure that word of our bumper wheat
crop will get to Berlin without delay.
It will not make the pleasanter read
ing for the German government if it
is true that crops in central Eu
rope are being hard hit by unseas
onable weather. We may discount
somewhat the stories of snow, hail,
and frost in June, which come in a
roundabout way, but unquestionably

THE CHAUTAUQUA SPIRIT
In spite of the disappointment of
many guarantors, some of whom feel
that they have had to pay for the en
tertainment of others, Hickory has
the Cautauqmi spirit. Quite a num
ber of persons have declared that they
got $S.:i() worth out of the first night's
entertainment and others, after hear
ing Dr. Lovejoy, say they have been
well entertained. If it could be set
Last vear the crops were bad, too,
but German public men expatiated
on the goodness of Providence in
bringing about bad crops the world
over, so that Germany by holding
out might hope to starve its ene
mies into surrender. This shortage,
or the forecast of it. was made the
foundation, it will b remembered,
of German strategy a year ago, Hin
denburg did his part by withdrawing
to new defensive lines, the subma
rines did their part, and a mercifu.
Providence was to see to the rest by
starving Germany's enemies.
The outcome has been very differ
ent. It was a hard year, but the worid
got through it. The grain crops
fell short just as had been predicted,
and but for the sacrifices and econo
mies urged by Mr. Hoover there
would not have been wheat to seno
to Europe. Bpt now the case is very
different. It does not warrant any
lessening of economy and frugality
in our own consumption, but it docs
give assurance of a generous supply
of wheat and other grains for our a
lies and for the neutrals who have
suffered as Scandinavia is said to
have done from the recent inclement
weather.
That the wheat crop was to be a
splendid one was already known; the
government's June report makes it
look even better, and it is far from
impossible that the record "billion
bushel crop" of 1915 may be equaled
o rsurprise. A great crop of win
ter wheat has been for some time
taken as a matter of course, yet ev
en this is given a new lift in the
July figures. The estimate was 54o
million bushpls in December, 5G0 in
April, 572 in May; it is now put at
oSt millions. More sensational be
cause now are estimates for spring
wheat; in general terms it had been
known that the outlook was for a
great crop, but these are the first fig
tied in advance how the tickets would Ufs issued by the government The
, ,. , - x. t it ; planted area is greater by 2,100,000
be chapoml of so that many of the Mg thfln wag pmt s
guarantors would not receive their
tickets until two days after the
Chautauqua begins and so that the
cost would fall on all alike, if
there should be a deficit, the Record
believes that it would be comparative
ly easy to sign up for the Chautau
qua this week.
A town cannot have a better in
vestment than a Chautauqua and the
numbers thus far have been most
pVasing. Dr. Lovejoy's lecture last
night m "Children in War Times"
was one of the finest platform deliv
erances the Record has ever heard.
The great crowd must have thought
so too. Dr. Lovejoy knows children,
knows men and women and was able
to talk about them in a manner that
was entertaining, instructive and ele
vating. UJ made more good points
in favor of increasing our educational
facilities to include domestic science
and workshops than we have ever
heard from a platform.
The Chautauqua this year is the
best Hickory has ever had and the
attendance has been large. Hickory
may do without the Chautauqua next
year, but it cannot afford to do with
out it.
The Record would be heartily in fa
vor of unfrocking Prof. Horace Wil
liams if that gentleman had not
closed his mouth and cut short any
mischief making. As it was, lie
gave encouragement to a lot of peo
ple, whoso judgment, we hope, is very
much improved by this time. His
case was unlike that of some others
in that he had nothing more to say
and as far as the public is concerned,
the matter would be almost forgot
but for the fact his views are aired
from time to time.
The Newton Enterprise commends
the board of county commissioners
for retaining Mr. Mask. The board
took a broad view of the necessities
of the county and acted wisely. Ca
tawba county must continue to make
progress.
Over 700,000 soldiers in France,
Secretary Baker says. And all of
them want a crack at Fritz.
Catawba county must keep her live
stock industry going.
GREATEST COMMERCIAL
FLEET IN ALL HISTORY
South Bend, Ind., June 11. Ameri
ca in l'J20 will have a merchant ma
rine of 25,000,000 deadweight tons,
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board declared here last night in an
address giving the most complete
statement of the nation's shipbuild
ing program which has yet been
made public. He was speaking to
the graduates of Notre Dame univer
sity. This commerce fleet, Mr. Hurley
said, the largest ever assembled in
the history of the world and involving
the expenditure of more than five
billions of dollars, will link the Un
ited States to South and. Central Am
erica by weekly steamer service which
will enable the Latin-American coun
tries to utilize their unlimited nat
ural resources in the freest competi
tion with other nations. It also
will bridge the Pacific for the trans
portation of the products of Japan,
Russia, China, Australia and the
Orient, and will continue to promote
America's trade with Europe.
wheat before, and larger by 16 per
cent than the area planted in the
"billion bushel crop" year 1915. More
over, the condition of the spring
wheat crop, 95.2 per cent is far abovb
the average, and not far below the
highest June percentage on record.
Only in 1915 did the harvest surpass
the present estimated crop, which
with a few such weeks as
we have had is likely to break all
records. We can use a billion bush
el crop very well, but even the 931,
(;00,000 bushels now forecast will with
frugality see us through, and by the
time the harvest is in the big ships
needed to carry it to our own army
and to our allies in Europe will be
coming along fast. Providence does
not mean to help Germany by starv
ing the world.

W. S. S. TAKE THE BOYS "OVER THE TOP"
The next big campaign that must be put over with the same success that
met the recent Red Cross and Liberty Loan drives is the War Savings Cam
paign. This must be done, President Wilson says, on or before Friday, June
28 He has proclaimed that day National War Savings Day and has called
on every man, woman and child to subscribe all that in his honest opinion he
will be able to pay during the remainder of the year to the War Savings Campaign-When
Mr. Vanderlip and his associates decided over a month ago that
the War Savings Campaign should be made to go "over the top" now, instead
of taking a year and a month to do it, they sought a plan by which this could
be done. The State of Nebraska furnished the plan, for this state had already
subscribed several millions dollars over its quota and had raisd over 50 per
cent of its sales.
Mr. Vanderlip at once set about to know how Nebraska did it. He called
into conference Mr. Ward M. Burgess, State Director of War Savings for
Nebraska, and Mr. Kiddow, Mr. Burgess's right-hand man. Together they
studied the plan in the light of a national plan, and with the experience of the
two men who had worked it to a successful issue, they obviated mistakes and
iuch features as to make it even more thorough and practiceable .for other
States. Consequently, not only North Carolina but other states of the Union
have been asked to adopt this plan and put over the War Savinsg Campaign
June 28.
When Ool. F. H. Fries, War Savings Director of North Carolina, was
called to New York several weeks ago, with other state directors, to have
this plan put before them, he was asked if North Carfolina could do it. "Sure,"
said Colonel Fries, "what Nebraska can do, North Carolina can do. We'll put
it over if it takes all the bunting and the flags and the drums in the whole
South to do it."
With this conviction and determination, Colonel Fries came back and set
about to perfecting the plans to make them most suitable to North Carolina
conditions. These plans have been presented through conferences ' held at
convenient places in the state to the county chairmen and other War Savings
Workers. Every county chairman has in his hands a detailed copy of the
plans, and he has been advised to follow the instructions step by step as given
him to avoid confusion and to do the work with the greatest possible ease
and efficiency.
Only one important change In the national plan did Colonel Fries think
best to make for North Carolina. That was to make the campaign last a
week instead of a day. Therefore, the week beginning June 23 continuing
through June 23 has been designated as North Carolina War Savings Week.
The Governor of North Carolina has issued a proclamation calling for every
citizen of the state to observe this week as War Savings Week by subscrib
ing at this time all that he will be able to buy during the remainder of the
year.
The week begins on Sunday, June 23, with a state-wide appeal for War
Savings in the churches and Sunday Schools. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday, a house-to-house canvass will be made in every township in
the State to secure War Savings pledges. Every taxpayer or householder wiU
make his pledge or give his excuse for not doing so. A record of ever per
son's pledge will he taken and kept. On Friday, June 28, the drive will cul
minate in a War Savings rally held at every school house in the state. The
State Director has called on every person in the school district to attend thia
meeting either to celebrate the occasion of the township's subscribing it
quota or if that be not thecase, to finish raising its quota. In other words,
there is but one thing for any township to do on that day, and that is to sub
scribe its quota to the War Savings Campaign. Likewise, there is but one
thing for every person to do, and that is to do his duty to the War Savings
Campaign, which is his utmost. The Government expects no less of every
man, woman and child in the state on this occasion.

EB SPECIAL 'ST
TO SEF BETTER
THE SLACKER
Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment
toward the slacker is crystalizing and the fine finger of
scorn and contempt is searching him out.
There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some
of them:
The service slacker the man who should be in the
ranks and is not.
The labor slacker the man who is able to work and
doesn't.
The food slacker the male or female hog who refus
to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our
Allies for those foodstuffs which may be exported.
The financial slacker the individual who can but docs
not boy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps.
Slaoking at home means more blood spilled by true blue
American boys in France.
Slacking in America means starvation for innocent
women and ohildren in England, France and Italy.
Slacking at home is a menace to the success of the
American, British and French arms in France.
THE SLACKER'S REWARD
The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America
will not forgive slacking.
The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the
war, bnt as the war goes on and the casualty lists come
in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent
citizens.
After the war is over he will be an object of contempt.
He will be without the regard of decent people in his
community. His children and his children's children
after him will pay a bitter price for his disloyalty For
his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by
humanity.
Inexorable fate is setting him apart and he will not
eacape.
Every Bushel Saved Now Will
Supply a Soldier with Bread
Until Next Harvest.
