Parker, Limerick and Kln- cakl. Pulled to the heights of a pole that tops the surrounding buildings Old Glory today Boats in front of the Southern Cotton Oil Company here, and floats where it can be seen by the soldiers in the troop trains as they pass through on their way to the Br ing line. Mr. W. Z. Faulkner, manager of the company here, had arranged a pa triotic program for the occasion and this was pulled off In fine style. Mr, Faulkner says that this Is one time that Monroe beat Charlotte to it. The manager of the Charlotte plant had planned to have a flag raising before his plant last Saturday but it rained and the exercise had to be postponed until next Saturday. Thus Monroe got her flag up first. An eloquent, inspiring address on the American Flag was delivered by Mr. J. J. Parker. He said that over the territory which floats that flag there can be raised enough to supply the wants of our entire population If we were cut off from Europe. Our forefathers planted their homes In the primeval forests, warring against the Red man and the forces or nature that they might have the freedom to worship God as they pleased, our na tion was the first one to ever grant to the masses of people a square and fair deal, he said. "It's red stripes are dyed with the blood of heroes. Its stars are the soul's of heroes," he said. A statement that should bring applause from every Southerner was ' made by him when he said tnat mere were men who would ngm no more willingly for this flag than the men of the South. Following Mr. Parker's address lit tle Miss Mary Myers Faulkner, daugh ter of Mr. W. Z. Faulkner, dressed as a Red Cross nurse, pulled the flag to the toD of the pole. Mr. T. F. Limerick made a sincere talk on the behalf of War Savings Stamps the kind of talk that gets the money out of a man s jeans, air. Limerick said that as he was deprived of the Driveleee of serving his country at the front so he was doing his part bv organizing War Saving Leagues. There are Union county boys today lighting In the trenches ii Francewrho have left home, rrienas and an, ne continued, and it was up to those left at home to back them up by buying War Savings Stamps and Liberty bonds. When the North Carolina troops return from the fields of France and march down the streets of Monroe unless we who did not go bought bonds. Saving stamps, or help ed In some manner we will have no right to cheer when the band plays Dixie, he said. If we do not conserve the food supply by obeying the Food Administration rules. If we are able and do not buy Liberty Bonds or War Saving Stamps, then we are slackers, Ue said. Mr. A. D. Kincald, district cashier of the coroporatlon, was on hand and began his talk by saying that he was no speaker and had never made a speech In his life. Some of his hear ers doubted this statement a little af ter he had finished. He said that 143 years' ago In this month a band of farmers in Massachusetts had started the revolt against tyranny which ended In the American nation. We are today fighting for the same Issues that our forefathers fought for then. He urged the employees of the company In Monroe to buy Liberty Bonds, telling them that It was bet ter to lend their money to Uncle Sam at a good rate of Interest than to let the Kaiser take it. He said that his company had arranged it so all of its employees could buy a bond. If they wished to the company would take Vne dollars each week from their wa ges for that purpose. Clean-Up Week Wm Big Succor. Clean-up week, which Included the jx days ending with Saturday, wan ' all that t'ae promoters anticipated. The clean-up week plan, which re ceived its greatest impetus In North Carolina five or six years ago, has now been eendel to cover the entire state, havingbeen j.-tabllshcd as a state-wide event to be observed every year, and from a sanitary point of view it holds an important place. Capt. W. L. Howii, sanitary officer, was force 1 to put en extia teams in order o kee. tie alieets clean f the rubbish pll t! there from the remis es. Mr. T. L. Crowclt says that he thinks Monroe was cleaned up as nev er before. Paper, niosnulto breeding tin cans and trssh of all kinds were hauled out of the city nnd dumped where they will do no harm. The Chamber of Commerce should he giv en much credit for the success of this campaign. Tlaced across a barrel, a peddler named Holzclaw was severely whip' ped with straps near iltrmlngham. Ala.. In the presence of nearly a thousand people, forced to kiss the American flag and ordered to leave town immediately and never return. He has not been seen since. "I can not stand this, take me out and shoot me, he cried as the lashes tell upon him. When told to kiss the flag he said: "Yes I will eat it if necessary." He was taken from an officer who had arrested him this morning. He was charged with telling that Ger many waa sure to win the war; that the Germans would finally take America Just as they took Belgium and that men were foolish to Join the Death of Mrs. Wlm-hester, Mrs. Brack Winchester died at the home of her husband In Monroe town ship Saturday. She Is survived by her husband and a child which was born at her death. Only about two weeks ago another little one was laid to rest In the cemetery where itc mother now lies.

She was a good woman and lived a Christian life. She was a member of the Hebron Metodist church. She will be missed by many friends whoso sentiments are best expressed by the words of the poet "Oh for the touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still. She was a daughter of Mr. R. Gordon of Monroe township. Her hus band and relatives have the sympathy of their friends in their bereavement CAMP GKEEXE WILL GET 23,000 MORE SOLDIER Charlotte t'amn Will be Converted Into a Signal Corps Camp Avla tors Will Fly There in the Summer, Washington.

SCHOOL PATROXS RECEIVED SHOWER AT THE SCHOOL Committee Met to Discuss Meat m'To ward Getting .New High . Sckool Building, and Received Fire H)d Evidence of the Leaky Condition of the Present Building Resolu tion Parsed. i Kind Providence gave the parents of the pupils or the Monroe High School, meeting Friday afternoon to see what could be done toward get ting a new high school building for the city, an opportunity of seeing Just what condition the present build ing la In. While they were In session a violent rain storm came up and they enjoyed the pastime of picking out the few seats, so discipline de stroying In a school, over which the roof was not leaking. Prof. Allen says that for some unknown reason it did not leak as bad as It usually does. - This meeting had been arranged by Mesdames W. A. Lane, J. F. Laney, F. B. Ashcraft. Jeff Sewell and other women of the town interested in the proper education of the future citi zens. They had seen to it that the parents of High School pupils were personally invited to attend the meet ing. The ministers of the town. Prof. Allen and others had been Invited to present the question of getting a new building for the city. Prof. R. W. Allen, who presided. opened the meeting with a forceful talk In behalf of a new building. He told of an interview with Dr. Clax- ton, United States commissioner of education, while he was at Atlantic City. In this Interview Dr. Claxtqn had said that if the people intended to build a school within twenty years now .was the time. Money conies easier now than ever before. When the war Is over times will be harder and money scarcer for a long time. Prof. Allen read a letter from Rev. John A. Wray expressing regrets that he could not be present at the meeting, and endorsing heartily the movement for a new building. He also read a letter from Mr. N. W. Walker, state Inspector of high schools. In this letter he commended Monroe on being one of the first towns in the state to grant an In crease of salary to their teachers. The letter also urged strongly that better equipment for the school be se CUted-andswftf that Monroe's place on the accredited list of Southern col leges depended partly on this. Other speakers were Dr. H. E. Gur ney, Rev. J. E. Abernethy, Mrs. R. B Redwlne, Mrs. F. B. Ashcraft, Mrs F. Laney and Dr. H. D. Stewart. The following committee with Mr T. L. Riddle, secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, as chairman, was appointed to arrange for a mass meet Ing of the citizens of the town In the near future to thoroughly discuss and ake action on the question: Rev. J. E. Aberenthy, Dr. H. E. Cuiney, Rev. A. Wray, Rev. W. J. Boger, Mrs. J F. Laney, Mrs. W. A. Lane. Mrs. R. B Redwine, Mrs. T. C. Lee, Mrs. M. K Lee, Mrs. W. B. Houston, Mrs. F. B. Ashcraft, Mrs. Chas. Iceman, Mrs, John C. Sikes. RESOLUTIONS PASSED At the meeting Friday afternoon the following strong resolutions were unanimously adopted by a rising vote: "We, the teachers, preachers, and other friends of education in the city of Monroe, are profoundly sensible of the situation created by the war ami further by the condition of the city's financial obligation caused by other needed improvements recently unute We realize that the immediate and first great essential U for the citizens of Monroe to respond to the call of the National Government with their full share of the funds required for the successful prosecution of the war. To this end, we stand committed ab solutely and without reservation. And of course we are fully aware and deeply sensible of the city's duty to make arrangements to meet Its pres ent obligations. But we believe, with clear and deep convictions, that nev er before has the necessity for pro viding adequately for our schools, In which our boys and girls are to be trained for their life's great responsi bilities, been so great made manl festly so by the conditions growing out of the present great war for the safety of Democracy, and that Imme diate educational preparation through an agresslve educational policy at home must go hand in band with the fighting at the front or the whole Is sue will be lost "We, therefore, believe that provi sions should be made immediately, after an examination as to the mini mum necessities, to raise the money and to erect the needed buildings and properly equip them. Hence, we, the above named persons, do urge as strongly as we n that the city fa thers arrange In some way to raise the funds and with these build and equip our schools as early as Is pos sible to do so. We further confidently believe that the city of Monroe Is abontantly able and that her citizens are willing to take care of Its schools better than they are now doing and, at the same time, bear a full share of the war re sponsibilities and privileges, and In addition we believe most profoundly that a backward step now, or not to take a step at all. would be not only contrary to the present policy of all other progressive wide awake towns, but will dishearten and discourage ev ery constructive impulse and effort, too. at the same time when a fighting faith in and for our boys and girls Is so essential.

Indication Are That Huns Are Most ltendy Acnln for the liig Fray Little Mnl)iint Since Sunday. Events along the battle line In France and Belgium seem to be shap ing themselves for a resumption of the great German offensive. Since the savage attack on the American forces at Seicheprey on Saturday there has Deen no fighting of an extraordinary nature along the front, but there have been indications that the Teutons are almost ready to resume the sledge hammer blows they have been aiming at the allied armies. Unless recent operations have been feints, it Is probable that the coining week will witness two great turning movements by the Germans. One probably will pivot on the village of Robecq, northwest of Bethune, on the southern side of the salient driven In to the allied lines back of Armenti eres. The other is expected to devel op at or near Mesnil, north of Albert, on the north side of the Somme salient. Three brothers, Charles, aged 38; Burton, aged 20; and Sherman Clln ard, aged 10, were drowned In Salem creek near WJnston-Salem Sunday af ternoon.
