^RALEIGHLETTER
( R. E. Powell)
Governor McLean's use of the word
,desi^?ning” during the week has been
followed with assurances from the
Executive Mansion that His Excel
lency is not after the newspaper or
the newspaper men and, furthermore,
that he doesn’t intend to make war on
either the craft or the publications
until and when they have done con
siderably more than take issue with
his oflicial acts.
The statement he issued last Sun
day nijrht was more to put a stop to
a round of nagging rumors about the
work of the Salary and Wage Com-
Clyde Hoey, W. C. Feimster, State
Senator Mark Squires and Wilson
Wadlick will make it.

hear?
Summer is coming, and springtime
is here.”

The individual, the community or the nation, which learns to
practice thrift and saving, becomes the financial power. Because
a fairly large proportion of the American people are thrifty this
country was able to finance the great war, and to begin at once
with the close of the war to payoff o(ur great debt.
More people are learning to save as the days go by, and it
is important that you be one of this progressive crowd. Money
in the bank on the day when you want it is an insurance against
misfortune and disaster, and you always walk with a surer step
when you know you are getting ahead in the world.
