A War Savings Stamp is
gift. It is not to be prized only for
its value but for the patriotic spirit
in which it was. bought and given.
The giving of stamps does not require
the labor and .material so greatly
needed by the Government at this
time. Furthermore, giving stamps
saves the usual rush that makes
Christmas a burden instead of a joy
ous occasion.. This year stamps are
the most patriotic gift. Buy them and
help put your State over the top in
the War Savings Campaign.
Today North Carolina lacks $11,
500,000 having her War Savings quota
1 subscribed. If every North Carolinian
who is able to do so would buy at
least one War' Savings Stamp as a
Christmas present either for himself
or some other member of his fam
ily, and would do this in addition to
what he has already bought or pledged
toVbuy, the amount realized, would be
sufficient tp complete jvhat the State
Tacks In'Kaving its War "Savings alio?-"
ment. Therefore, it behooves every
patriotic citizen of North Carolina to
be patriotic and buy War Savings
Stamps for Christmas presents.

Raleigh- Would-be profiteers who
have judged that the signing of the

the watchful eye of the Food Ad
ministration have a surprise in
store. State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page declared today that
while a number of the rules and
regulations of the Food Administra
tion have been removed and others
may be removed later, those relat
ing to margins of profit and to the
distribution of food and feedstuffs
will not only remain in force until
the Peace Treaty is signed but that
they will be more rigidly enforced
hereafter than they have been in
the past.
Profiteering and speculation will
be punished ruthlessly. Voluntary
contributions to the Red Cross will
no longer be accepted in lieu of
more drastic actions. Merchants
who are found to be willfully disre
garding food rules and regulations
specially those relating to margins
f profit, will be put out of business
m til normal times come again.
In line with this policy the Food
Administration has fixed specific
margins upon an increased number
f food products. These margins
re absolute and any merchant who
Kceeds them will be subject to dis- .
;ipline by the Food Administrator.
The products upon which margins
aave been .fixed and the margins -thereon
are as follows:
