The object of these meetings is to urge subscrip tions to Thrift Stamps and War Sav ings Certificates and to organize local societies where possible. Meetings have been held so far at Hazelwood, Crabtree, Rock Hill and Bethel. The speakers have been General Gilmer, T. L. Green, J. Bat Smathers and Dr. G. D. Green, chairman for Haywood county. " , All people in Dellwood and vicinity should be at this meeting Saturday night. A MESSAGE FROM MR. HARRIS ' (Bryson City Times.) -Western North Carolina's leading financier, Hon. C. J. Harris, of Dills- boro, Jackson county, who was at one time candidate for governor of this state, says: "I regard the Thrift Stamps being issued by our government a splendid investment. I have subscribed for the limit to one person, namely $1,000. "The habit of saving must be cul tivated by our people. It takes nerve and "self-denial, but it is absolutely necessary to the success of the indi vidual and the nation. Make it a rule to save something every week for Thrift Stamps." THIRD LOAN ON WAR DATE It is expected the third Liberty Loan will be launched on April 6, the first anniversary of the entry of the United States into the war. The in terest rate and the amount of the loan are still to be determined, but it will probably be for more than $3, 600,000 and bear four and one-half per cent interest. Government Hospital Nearly Ready Two government officials have been here during the week to see the Hay wood White Sulphur Springs prop erty and ararnge for sending tubercu lar patients. Mr. Sloan will have all repairs and changes made by April 1 and a num ber of patients are expected to oc cupy the building by then. The su perintendent is now here the guest of Mr. Sloan.

There were three judges in each contest. PUT IDLERS TO WORK March 4, 1918. To all Mayors and City Commis sioners: Our country needs workers as it has not needed them in years. Every branch of industry is suffering for lack of man power. We cannot, dur ing a great war, afford to nave any unproductive consumers of food in our state. This is no time for parasites and idlers. - At the last meeting of the State Council of Defense, I was asked, after reports as to labor needs were con sidered, to urge every executive of ficer in the state to strictly enforce the vagrancy laws. See Section 8740 of the Revisal of 1906. No able-bodied man in the commonwealth should be allowed to dodge his contribution of labor.' "Go to work or go to the roads," should be our war-time watch words. I am, therefore, urging you to see that all vagrants are routed out in your town, and either set themselves tn werk or be set to work by you, and that there be no relaxation ia the cfo servance of auch men as are directed to get employment and to keep em ployed. ' - --- - - w Very truly yours, e W HT4 !I UTI1- Rmnir. We Must Pay for Things Worth While ' (By Jesse Daniel Boone.) If you want your child to study, and to do his very best, You must furnish books and tablets, pens and pencils, and the rest; For it's some humiliating to a kid that's brave and proud, To be cowed by his companions by his little inner crowd. If you want your home life happy and devoid of frowns and gloom; If you want it bright and cheerful in each corner and each room, It takes money and takes planning, and it takes some labor, too, But it's worth more than the efforts, to your loved ones, and to you. If you want your church to flourish and attract your fellow man, You must have a decent building, built on some good, modern plan; And all hands must help the preacher with your money and your, time; You can then enjoy the sermon when the bells begin to chime. If you want to be successful and to see your business grow, And you'd make a good impression on the ones who come and go, You must do some advertising and invite the folks to come; You must spend a bit of money if you wish to make things hum. If you want your town to prosper, and attract the passers by, And you want it well exploited in the regions, far and nigh, You must reach down in your pocket for the taxes ev'ry year; You must join each progress movement which1 so often must appear. If you want to hold the friendship of the ones you daily meet In your home or in your work shop, or upon the busy street; Even this will cost you something, tho' it be a nod or smile, For 'tis law that never changes we must pay for things worth while. TELEPHONE MEETING AT DELLWOOD TUESDAY A meetintr of the telephone sub scribers of the Ivy Hill Telephone Co. and the Jonathan line was held Tues day afternoon at Dellwood for the purpose of effecting a consolidation of the two lines. The idea is to establish a small switchboard at Dellwood, then by building a few short lines and repair ing existing lines, would enable the Ivy Hill and the Jonathan sections to secure much improved telephone serv ice. Everything went along smoothly except that the Ivy Hill subscribers seemed to prefer to maintain their individual line. We feel certain that upon reflection they will see the vir tue of the plan to consolidate the lines and make the system one of larger usefulness. By this course they will not only improve their own telenhone service, but that of all oth er telephone users in Haywood coun ty, and save them expense in time or money without costing them one penny more than at the present time. We are quite confident that both ends of these lines should be brought to gether under one control so that re pairs, collections, etc, will be done systematically, as it is by just auch methods that the large telephone companies are enabled to give ef ficient telephone service. By. the above system some one could be made responsible for the maintenance of the consolidated lines, rather than be dependent upon the voluntary efforts of the individual subscribers. In the course of a couple of hours of argument, it was suggested that we adjourn in order to give every body an opportunity to digest the proposition. The undersigned feel especially gratified at the number who were in attendance and wish to cor dially thank them all. I V.CURTIS, J. M. MOCK. CAPT. J. A. MAY PASSES (Canton Observer.) Mr. J. A. May died at the home of his son. F. K. May, Tuesday morning, after an illness of long standing. The funeral service was conducted from the Southern Methodist church, of which he was a consistent member, by Revs. J. EL Bradley, R. J. Hunter and H. A. Smathers, after which his re mains were laid to rest in Locust Field cemetery. Mr. Mar. who was 78 years old, was for years a leading citizen of Canton and Haywood county, always taking an active part in church and educa tional work. Besides two children. Frank K. May and Krm. Joseoh Thompson, the de ceased is survived by many relatives and friends who will be grieved to learn of his death. Miss Rebecca Robinson, of Canton, and Mr. C. M. Holland were married herd on March 7, the Rev. W. H. Pleas officiatinr. Mr. and Mrs. Holland wQl leave shortly for Akron, O, where Mr. Holland holds a position with the Goodrich Rubber Co, and where they will make their future LET WAR SAVINGS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY To the People of North Carolina: It is a superlative importance to de vote all the time and all the energy the people can spare from the prose cution of their daily business to the War Savings Stamps campaign from row-until the sixth day of April, when campaign for the sale of the Third Liberty Loan Bonds begins. The value of this War Savings cam paign to the government in the win ning of the war and to the people in training them to lay aside a working capital for use after the war cannot be over-estimated. I earnestly hope thatall war workers will, between now and the sixth day of April, lay aside the particular work in which they are engaged and unite in giving a grand impetus to the War Savings campaign. For three weeks let the stamps and certificates have the right of way. If everybody will pull to gether to secure every pledge possi ble to make a monthly investment in these stamps from now until the end of the year we will be able to carry this movement over the top. These three weeks are the critical period in this campaign. They will determine its success, or its failure. That success or failure depends upon the number of pledges we can obtain to make monthly investments, and I earnestly entreat every person in the state to sign one of these pledges for a monthly investment during the next three weeks. I earnestly urge all local and district officials and com mittees connected with this campaign to re-double their efforts during these three weeks, and my judgment is that if we shall go forward with untiring zeal during this period, on the sixth day of April the goal will be in sight Surely this is a challenge worthy of a supreme effort T.

HAYWOOD SHORTHORN BREEDERS TO ORGANIZE The breeders of shorthorn cattle in the county have decided to further their business by working together rather than singularly and apart. For that reason, at the instance of several prominent breeders of the county, a meeting is called for all breeders- of purebred shorthorn cattle to meet at the court house at 11 o'clock April 1. Any man engaged in the short horn business can afford to join in this enterprise and help push his business. Haywood is taking first rank in this and adjoining states as the breeding ground of good shorthorns. Natural resources point to a. great future. Let all interested be present. W. H. FERGUSON, County Agent. W. M. TURPIN BOUND TO FEDERAL COURT Capt R. A. L. Hyatt tried his first case Tuesday afternoon as U. S. com missioner. He was appointed the last of January to suceced R. E. Osborne who has moved to Swain county. The case was against Wm. M. Turpin, charged with transporting and having in his possession illicit whiskey. Deputy Marshal J. Y. Jordan, of Asheville, represented the government while Attorney George Ward defend ed Turpin. Chief Mitchell testified that he and Policeman Will Whitener went to Special U. S. Officer Jule Robinson about 9:30 or 10 o'clock Monday night and said they had some information that some whiskey was likely to be coming this way and to catch the parties they must go out of their jurisdiction. They turned the matter over to Mr. Robinson, who summoned them to go with him. He and Chief Mitchell both testified that they went above Waynesville near Mr. Newton Brendle's place and wait ed until a late hour when a buggy approached with W. M. Turpin and Howard Mehaffey inside. The parties were halted and arrested. In the buggy was found two 2-gallon jugs and one S-gallon jug besides 3 quart bottles full of whiskey. The quarts were in the pockets of Turpin. The men were brought to town. Mitchell, Whitener and Turpin were in front in an automobile while Mehaffey was behind in the buggy with Officer Rob inson. When passing Piegon street Mehaffey suddenly dropped the lines and jumped out of the vehicle and took leg bail. After hearing arguments as to jurisdiction Commissioner Hyatt de cided in favor of the government and after further argument bound the prisoner to Federal court CaptaW Hyatt showed up well in trying his first case.

Howell Wins First Prize at Shorthorn Exhibit in Knoxville and Sells Several Heads at Top Prices There was a big Shorthorn exhibit of cattle and a cattle sale at Knox ville, Tenn., last Friday where Hay wood county won first prizees and also sold some cattle at good prices. B. P. Howell, of Jonathan's Creek township, whose proper address is route 2, Waynesville, took first price in an exhibit of 55 shorthorns and at the sale held under the auspices of the Shorthorn Breeders Association of East Tennessee sold a bull for $615 to James Mercer, of Chucky, Tenn., this animal taking the first prize of fered by the National Association of Chicago. Members of this association from. Missouri and Illinois who were judges were highly pleased with the exhibit and sale and said it was as fine lot. of cattle as the country affords. J. B. Campbell, of Maggie, this county, paid $400 for a bull; J. R. Peterson, of Clinton, this state, bought four animals costing him about $600. Trust old Haywood for prize ap ples, prize agricultural exhibits and fine cattle. We are there every time with the goods when we enter compe tition. And the 14 years of the Hay wood county fair had something to do with making these things possible. A RED CROSS APPEAL The call from the southern division of A. R. C. at Atlanta for a seven-day National Campaign beginning Mon day, March 18, and ending Monday, March 25, to secure a minimum quan tity of 5,000 tons of clothes for the destitute people of Belgium and northern France was received March 14. The request for the use of Na tional Red Cross in collecting . this needed clothing came from Herbert Hoover and has been granted by Henry D. Davidson, chairman of Red Cross War Council. The W. R. C. Chapter presents this cause to every man, woman and child in Haywood county. The need is great, and an urgent appeal is made for a liberal response. Gifts of ma terialremnants or in quantity shoes, blankets, flannel, cloth, stock ings and ready-to-wear clothing, from the merchants or private individuals. Outgrown clothes of all sizes clean and whole will be gladly received on Monday, Wednesday and Friday aft ernoons and cheerfully packed and shipped to Atlanta on Tuesday, March 26. This may mean some sacrifice but who would not be winning, remem bering the words of tho Master: "I was naked and ye clothed me" and "In as much as ye did it to one of these ye did it unto me." K. C. PEGUES, Chairman Pub. Com. LOAFERS SUBJECT TO DRAFT Shortage ef labor threatens to af fect our crop production during tho coming season and already is hinder ing war work in many lines. North ' Carolina has a clear, clean-cut, ef ficient law against vagrancy and the State Food Administration urges its rigid enforcement in order that local farmers, who are first entitled to it, may have the labor of able-bodied men and boys not regularly employed or who are filling positions which might just as well be filled by women and girls. The Food Administration intimates that unless they secure em ployment upon farms and in the in dustries of their respective com munities the men and boys at present loafing in towns and around railway stations are likely to be drafted for dangerous service in shipyards and munition plants. The inability of our allies to take all available meat supplies because of shipping difficulties, and the flooding of the markets with beef and pork products as a result of heavy feeding of soft corn ia the Central West has resulted in a temporary suspension in the matter of meat conservation. The observance of meatless Tuesday is all that is now asked for. On the other hand every effort should be mad to conserve every ounce of wheat flour. ANNA M. GLOSSER, Co. Food Admr.
