We give below part of .a. letter written by Dan Tompkins to his rcother, from France, under date of j,ne22nd. J- The journey we made through Eng la id was a very enjoyableif a hur ried one, and the "right little, tight little island" is quite a nice place, everything being so spick and span, and well kept, quite in contrast to ru 'ged, and sometimes ill k tpt AtYiPrina. I was struck with theJ vast amount of farming and garden ut for so small a place as England, as was in evidence everywhere. I have seen quite av number of the "Tommy Waacsn or girl soldiers of England, about whom you prob ably read in Mr. Cobb's article in the Saturday Evening Post some time ago. Of course they don't do any real fighting, but s I under stand the idea, they do a lot of work that women can easily do, and which would have to be done by men who can be used advantageous ly elsewhere. If I do nothing else while I am in France, I have at least acquired one accomplishment, that strange to say I had never learned to do before, and that is that I have learned to ride a wheel, which by the way is no mean accomplishment, consider ing the fact that that seems to be quite the common means of loco motion both in France and England. I am not very adept in the art as yet, but of course the main thing is practice, and perhaps I will get quite a dfialfttcutside, either riding or walking evOT ch B&ttand havjtfit iUurt:ci?tri littte spin along the country roads. On our way through England we stepped for a short ' while at the town that is famot's in the annals of football and were served with cal.es and coffee by the British Red Cress. There is one habit which the English have that fails to meet the approval of my gastronomical sens es, and that is of serving tea, very frequently instead of coffee, and then when they do make coffee it doesn't taste like "the kind that mother used to make." . Ihe last American newspaper that I saw was dated May 20, an Ash- ville Citizen that was forwarded from Camp Sevier, and which I re ceived beiorel left the States. would certainly like to see one of more recent date, especially the Jawson County Journal or one of the Asheviile papers. 1 reckon Sylva is getting lively for the summer by now, as I suppose toe girls have all returned from Bchooland are getting vbusy with parties, picnics and one thing and another, though they must be rather ,, of boys.

' SYLVA, N, C.,jfepH9i3r OF Winston-Salem, N. C, July 20 North Carolina is now at probably the inost critical period of her -War : Savings Campaign. . She has waged what has been considered a, more or ess iuocessful pledge-drive in-which ten of her counties pledged - theit. quotas in full, and twenty ot more raised -over three-fourths of their quotas. All of the counties, with a few exceptions, did well and it js the spleadid showing made by the State as a whole that is probably accojint- able : "for the precarious condition into which several . counties have apparently fallen. . The cause of this unfavorable condition, State Held workers have said, is caused by t h e insidious canker-worm of contentment Not a few counties which raised only one half or three-fourths of their quotas appear to be satisfied with the work they have done for the reason that they secured a larger percentage than their leaders pre dieted for them. Others are satis fied on the grounds that they secured a larger percentage than some ad joining county, while others are finding satisfaction in the fact that the county did well in the recent Liberty Bond Campaign. State Headquarters is today call ing attention to the fact that to sell North Carolina's full quota of War Savings Stamps is her objective in this war, and that she sells this amount and does what she has been asked to do, is as important as the holding of yyibrritiby. In other, wordilorth Carolina must not letup in the work 1 of rsiecurihg pledges, until she has secured her full quota. No county or township must let up until it has secured its full quota. Likewise, no individual must stop on this side of reaching his quota. To do less would be as ineffective in the success of the War Savings Campaign as for the Amer ican soldiers in the present offensive counter attack to drive on until they were within full view of the lights of Berlin and then be "repulsed and driven off of German soil. Nothing short of actually entering the gates of Berlin can be success oyer there; nothing short of every county, town ship and individual taking his full quota of War Savings Stamps will be success ove&here. Near-victory will not suffice for j the struggle neither there nor here. w. s. 5.

RED CROSS OFHCUili -' - BARRED FROM POLITICS If you are anipfidai of or worker for the Red Cross andintend to run forlpublic office vof participate in politics in any way, you'd better resign. , y This, in effect, is the message conveyed yesterday by George E Scott, Acting General Manager of the Red Cross, to Ethan Allen, Man ager of the Atlantic Division. "The first general election since the entrance of the United States into the war,w reads the letter, is to take place before long. The Red Cross is and must be maintained, a strictly non-partisan, non-political orgagization,. The reasons for this are so; obvious to everybody that thevjeno f3stfiti6i' i ; . .,IasiniHhat;it jslmpo?sible roahifciria work fropi his political endeavors, 1$ .la remarked that "no taint of selfishness or self seeking can be allowed to creep in to the work, endangering and even perhaps destroying its great ac complishment.'' "Accordingly," writes Mr. Scott, "The Red Cross War Council in structs me to direct that you re quest all officials of the Red Cross, either in chapters or division head quarters, who are in any position of executive and who at the same time contemplate candidacy for public office, either to resign in their official capacity from the Red Cross or to refrain from such candidacy. At the same time, we ask that vou give this statement the broadest publicity and that you use every influence of your office to prevent, in so far as possible, the use of the Red Cross or of its services, either directly or indirectly, in the ad vancement or in connection with political campaign of any person." -W, 8. 3.

The boys who haye left this count tyj for the training camps have made a orecord for good behavior; We have been reliably informed that leir, behavior is better than that of the boys of any of the Other coun ties and that the . conductors say they had rather haul them than the boys from other counties, r? for they act as genUemen while they have had a great delalpf trouble with boy 8 from many of the other counties audi in some instances, have had to take them off the train, . The people are proud of the good record the boys from Jackson are making, and everyone : is confident that, no matter . where they may be. they will always act the iart of gen tlemen. Policeman Reed remarked the oth er day that he never saw boys; be have better than the boys who come here to entrain for the training camps that he had never had oc casion even to speak to one of them in regard to his behavior.

Miss Rogers, who is the daughter of Hezekiah Rogers, was born near Whittier in this county, this, state and went with her family to Wash ington about seven years ago. Miss Rogers has three aunts, Mrs. B. F. Stribling, Mrs. E, EL Jones and, Mrs. Blanche Rogers living in Asheviile: Miss Blanche Rogers recently join ed the navy as a yeoman at Raleigh and expected to b ecalled to the ser vice at any time. sugar Ration Had the Food Administration not taken the sugar and flour situation in hand the people would not have been able to obtain any of each as the price of sugar would have been IU pel puuuu aim UUUf would have been $4 to $5 per 24 lb . Da The allotment of sugar for North Caiolina lor July was a little more than 300,000 pounds. Certificates m m nave oeen issued covering more than this amount, so if the people are able to get .the amount of sugar equal to the certificates that have been issued by the State Food Ad ministration somebody will have to do without sugar. The sugar shortage at this time is caused by the submarines sink ing more than 24,000,000 pounds of sugar. We are advised by the De partment of Agriculture- that one pound f sugar to 16 quarts of fruit is sufficient for canning. The sugar situation will be better by the time the consumers will begin to eat tneir cannea gooos. we think it a good idea for people to realize that we are m war and that the soldier boys are risking their lives in the trenches; in the air, on the water etc., that we may exist In r peace pn JACKS BOYS DAVE REPUTATION MAN'S tion ."made yecant by a mmS who joicsq Tjne jpoiors. cxamt this earth. . ? , Food Administration.' $t50 THE .YEAR IN ADVANCE RUNS FALLING RACK The Allies have pushed the uns back on a sixty mile front lo a depth of from four to seven miles in the past few'days. and captured numerous war materials and some thinover 20000 prisoners, and are still! forcing them back.
