I pledge allegiance to MY FLAG and to the Repub lic for which it stands; wie nation Indivisible wth Liberty and Justice for all. f 'EVERY FLAG FLYING AND EV I ERY BAND PLAYING." The Provost Marshal General sendJ iword to State and County Cornells of iDefm&e: "I want to have every flag Jying and every band playing on Registration Pay." It la the Intention of the Selective Service authorities Jm.t the frreat day of registration un der the new law snail be a solemn but Joyfail rededication of the Americans to their great national task of win ning the war for security and Jus tice. Every effort will be made to have a hundred per cent registration Of all men between 18 and 45 (both firfjres Inclusive) who are not al ready registered. The work that must be done be fore registration day Is to reach ev ery man whom the law affects. No body should be left Ignorant of the law, and every man's conscience and patriotism should be so reached that be will obey the law gladly and free ly. Much of this work will be dono fcy the ordinary means of publicity, tut much will have to be accomplish ed by word of mouth, especially among persons who cannot or do not read. County CofJpcils at Defense have hem asked to arrange patriotic meetings, with music, preferably on the eve- of Registration Day. with special meetings for colored people and for any foreign -born groups that may require special attention. On the registration day itself, all flags tare to be flying, Che bells ringing, and all private or military bands flaying. Upon the request of city mayors who can arrange for trans portation and subsistence, it will be possible to have for Registration Day the Berrlces of military bands from camps and army posts., The few that ate available in North Should be bespoken early. In Some communities it will be well to mobilize all the available automo biles, bo that 'persona living far from their places of registration may reg later' with a minimMm loss of time from necessary work. it wUl be the pride of North Car olina citizens to make Registration Day a triumphant success. otherwise there will be a shortage of munitions and other necessary equip ment. When the new army draft is in effect, there will be a yet greater need for labor. North Carolina's ;uuta of unskilled labor immediately reifnvd is 4,310. Men who are willing to serv? th ration by giving up non-essential fo' essenti&J work should consult any officer of the United States Employ ment Service or the JUblic Service Reserve. Employers and laborers can "help by co-oirating loyally with their community labor boards. Their task u in distribute labor in such a wry that essential war industries may be supplied without depleting other es sential Industries. One way to help Is to quit bnylns unnecessary goods or services. A systematic practice of thrift by 'ever citizen will release men for those oc cupations which are essential to national maintenance and victory. If the United States Is to win the war in 1919, there must he a thorough go ing organization of thrift and indus try with fighting. The enemy or ganized his forces long ago.

The Democratic party of North Carolina In convention assembled, in this hour of our country's great trial, ftjiikea pleasfye In greeting our his toric oppent, the Republic party, Iwith assurances d. our confidence in the loyulty of its membership to dir fouisuon country, and we appeal to jail of the citizenship of the State to subordinate all questions of internal policy about which the voter of the State disagree, In so far as the pub lic welfare will permit, to the greater i.nd graver questions Involved In our foreign relations and the war which v.m been forced upon our country, wnl we earnestly appeal to all of the voters ou the State, regardless ot party affiliations, to manifest a spirit of moderation and Justice in the dis cussion of all internal questions' ne cessarily inolved in the approachin? flection. We endorse the time-honored prin ciples of the Democratic party an.l point with pride to the fact, that the platform declarations upon which the pneoeait adminslstratlon in both State and nation were elected have been written mto law. We endorse the great record of ti:: administration, of our National ..1 fairs, touching all Internal policies.

Recognizing the increased cost of living, w pledge the party to the en actment of laws that will secure to the school teachers of the State a Just increase in salaries. Pledging our continued support to the veterans of the Civil War and their widows, the educational, char itable and other institutions of the State, to clean and economical gov ernment, we appeal to the people of dox-s not exceed three thousand do!.- - North Carolina to join Ida in the exe- lars, and where the notes an-i pi- ' cut ion and perpetuation of our Kages are made to run for not k-.s worthy ideas. than five or more than twenty year : ' at interest' not exceeding live m.,l , one-half per cent.

Allen ttf Reidsville. Prfff. Allen succeeded Prof, Hickerson at a time when the entire school system of the county needed immediate attention. Aggies lively he went to work. He ha , traveled all oVer the county , thor oughly familiarizing himself with lo caJ conditions, anl notwithstanding the times are seriou3 and difficulties of all kinds face the newly elected superintendent of Bchools, Prof. Al len is successfully leading the forces of education in Rockingham . The Review rejoices to sec an of ficial striving to render efficient ser vice, especially along educational line, and we would not forget tha! Prof. Allom Is Indeed fortunate in be ing able to retain as stenographer for the poard of education, Airs. Sue Carter Worsham, wife of Captain A. E. Worsham, who is now n France, and who has been stenogra pher for the board for four years. Prof. Allen and Mrs war-profit tax that is now bem? fought out in Congress. Before the war it was the general Idea that ev erything a man made was more or less essential elthr" to his health and haDDiness or to his well-being and efficiency. Since the war, it is sur prising to know how little really con stitutes the essentials of life and 13 really necessary to health and effl cieni.y.'.' It's a fact, according to health ex perts, that less of those things that were formerly considered essential; is meaning better health for the peo ple. A refearn to the simple 12e, which is the doctrine of the War Sav ings campaign particularly in thlng.s to eat and wear has been America'1 blessing In disguise. It is nov known that there is less illness, par ticularly from those . diseases causel by excessive eating, in the country today than a few years ago. While living standards have no ticeably changed, and the list of es sentials have been cut in two, it has been pointed out that America is far from the lowest point at which life may be lived comforatbly and Carolina healthy and efficiently maintained General Pershing's soldiers have shown that efficiency and the finest fighting spirit can be maintained nt the highest point with only enough to eat, enough to wear, and with a lew of what Is known as the extras. HIS' tory will not let It pass out of mind how General Washington's soldiers at Valley Forge kept up their high resolve, their fighting spirits, and won an immortal victory with only the barest necessities of life. It is for these reasons that Secre tary McAdoo proposes a flat war-profit tax of eighty per cent on all In comes or profits that are made on the strength of the wai. ; He says: . "The patriotic producer? of Ameri ca should be content if one-fifth of their war-profits are secured to them especially when we reflect that the men. who are fighting and dying in Prance to save the liberties of those who stay at home are limited by ac I of CongTess to $396 per year for their service and have to give their blood in the bargain." - What Goes With Cour Loan. Here is the history of money spent for a War Savings Stamp or Liberty liond, as told by Secretary McAdoo: "First, It goes to the Government as a lotin for the war.. "Second, it. is expended by the Government for food, clothing, and ammunition. "It had not 'b?en expended in the purchase of needless food and cloth ing for the man at home, and is therefore released' for the use of the soldier. It is saved wealth to the Worsham are man at home and can be loaned to rendering the finest sort of service to the schools of the county and The Review is glad that in war timcg the education of the boys and girls of Rockingham ie receiving deserved consideration. . LABOR SCARCITY A NATIONAL DANGER). Tne scarcity- of labor for industries essential to national livelihood and victory Is a pressing danger. The ln 'duetriea'of the nation as a whole re Colre a million additional laborers; his Government at interest, with re fMting benefit to himself and his Government. " Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "I have been in the practice of medicine 4r forty years," ftfritei Dr. D. A. Post, Barnwell, &. C. "I came to this place last March, hav ing purchased a plantation ten miles from here, am preparing to move on to it and shall practice there. 1 find diarrhoea prevalent, In fact be came affected myself, saw a notice off ChajuWrlara. CoUc and. Diar rhoea Remedy, bought a small bot tle end h Is good." We declare it to be the conviction ci" ttie people of North Carolina that our country had no other course con sistent with honor and self-respect than to enter the war against the au tocratic and cruel imperial govern ment of Germany. We believe that it was necessary for the perpetuation of the principles u,pon which our gov ernment is 'i'ounded, and for the pre servation of human, liberty, not only in our own beloved country," but to imemy loving people throghout the world. Every intelligent citizen must rec ognize that the war with dir brutal and liberty-hating foe, involves ev erything dear to the people of the United States, and we pledge the lives, the fortunes and all we are. to the loyal support of the constitu ted authorities of our great republic, and demand that the war Khali tha prosecuted to final and triumphant military victory over the government that assaulted oUr liberties and the liberties of the world. That we commend the conduct of the war by the duly constitfuted 'Au thorities of our Republic withoat re servation. A nation devoted "to tht ways and the ideals of peace, our Republic has been put upon a war footing under the exacting standards of modern warfare within so short a time as to cause every American to renew his pride and confidence in our flag and institutions and to com mand the admiration of all nations. North. Carolina takes peculiar pride in the admitted fact that Jo sephus Daniels as Secretary of the Navy has bn.ight thig arm of the service up to such a degree of effici ency as to convert a storm of rHH . cism into a universal hymn of praise. we would not be time to our in stincts did we not especially com mend the course ot the President of the United States. In all matters of Internal character which the war has entailed he has given eidenoe of wis dom which we regard as providential and which has brought to him the trust and confidence of all Americans without regard to party alignments, and in all matters of international character with respect to relations with our Allies, to neflWral nations, and to our enemies, he has conduct ed his great part, as to win the title at home and abroad of "Moral Lead er of the World," We endorse te record of our Sen ators and Representatives in Con gress, and we note with juist satisfac tion tha Senator F. M. Simons has in all the great measures, committed to hi8 hands served the whole coun try with such zeal and ability, and has given to the president such ef fectual and unwilling support that no! I e mocrat in the State has even thought of opposing him for renomi natlon. As the head of the ticket this year we. bespeak for him the largest majority of his career, so that the Nation may continue to re ceive the benefit of his expedience, wisdom and patriotism. State Affairs. We commend to our people and neamiy endorse the recorl of the administration of Governor Bickett, and all other State officials. The General Assembly d. 1917 nr.ule nota ble advancements in the interest of popular education, public health, public morals, prison reform and general remedial legislation. ine Democratic party both In State and, Nation has made a marvel ous record of support or agriculture, the chief industry of our State, and we pledge orselves to a continuance of this liberal and statesmanlike pol icy. The National administration has given us a rural credits law. aiding farmers to become home owners, and similar beneficent legis lation regulating crop liens, aiding runal schools, encouraging agricul tural instruction, providing for the TO OWNERS OF UN WIRED HOUSES; Our "Easy-to-Pay" wiring offer has ap pealed to a goodly number of home owners, judging from the contracts already signed to date. But, are you one of those who has taken advantage of our liberal offer? If not, and you are interested, you had better act promptly, as this proposition will be withdrawn soon. Remember, 12 months to pay, without interest. SOUTHERN PUBLIC UTILITIES COMPANY M WAR HOUSE. REIDSVILLE, N. C.
