State Directors of the War Sav

.The plan by which Nebraska
scowled in oversubscribing ber
quota by four million dolr and
and raUlng over fifty per cent of
, ber sale by April 1, is the plan
that will be adopted not only iu
North Caiolina bat by every
state In the Union. What Ne
braska has done it is believed at
State Headquarters and. all War
Savings workers that North
Carolira can do. Consequently
the plans fir an intensive State
wide drive have been sarefully
worked out and are now being
executed by State, county and
Tawnshio Chairmen.
Tbe chief principle of the plan
adopted is a house to house can
vass and the taking of subsciipt
ions from every tax-payer in the
township, or his excuse lor not
subscribing. A ree-ord of every
mane's pledge and supportof this
cause will be kept. .

THE WOaUIS FOREMOST 6IT1ZEH, ITS GRUTET THINKER MB STRONGEST LEADER.
Do you know him? Of course, you have kuown his face for a
number of years but of late we are coming to know HIM. And
the world is coming to know HIM. Since the outbrake of the
great war when his full thinking capacity was called into ac
tion the world has had increased opportunity to learn of him.
Tbe more the world learns of him the greater the admiration he
commands. He has rapidly come into his own and now stands
at the head of things. He is doubtless the world's greatest think
er, finest statesman, bravest leader, first citizen and moat prom
inent figure. The world sits up to hear what he has to say. The
world watches day and night to see what he will da The world
eagerly devours what be writes. He dispels the'doubts of Con
gress, He heartens the whole allied combine. He is the greatest
terror the Kaiser knows. He js strictly a human being with a
heart full of sympathy for the whole human family. He is the
exponent of a righteous' cause and the greatest man aliva He is
Woodrow Wilsoa, the president of the United States, the nation
that is to break the bonds of autocratic slavery and set the
world free. . -- - r

ing his attention to these reports
denying that any statement of
this character had ever been is
sued, and explaining the actual
situation.
Tho situation is just like this:
Our actual supplies of wheat and
flour until harvest will allow for
home consumption a little . less
than one-third of our normal
consumption, if we are to main
tain the absolutely necessary
supplies for our Allies. At the
l-eginning of May there was in
the hands of farmers and else
where storage approximately 75
million bushelsof wheat to carry
us for three months. Our nor
mal consumption for these three
months would be 120 million
bushels, nob allowing anything
to our Allies.;
Based on the total supply in
the United States for home con
Sumption, and considering the,
decreased consumption by our
people, there is within the bor
ders of North Carolina our share
and more of flour, states Food
Administrator Hunry A. Page.
"This being truo I am calling
upon the" wholesale' and retail
merchants of North Carolina to
refrain from sending further or
ders for fiour to wilts outside of
N;orth Carolina. ; '
." The larger mills which have
been acenstomed to ship tremen
dous quantities of flour into
North Carolina ate most of them
close to export points and all of
them are in position to pack fiour
for export Therefore even where
merchants la some parts of Nor
th Carolina could secure from
such mills their flour cheaper
than they can from North Caro
Un'a'mllH which have flour avail
able, I am going to ask them to

My Dear Brother:. ..'... The 1- reiich
are fine soldiers and ijood comrades.
I have found out more ahrtut the
Germans since I have been nv.r
here. They are no good. Tell all 11. y
friends 1 would I ke to see them. Tell
them we are sure to whip the Cer
mans. Every time they take a little
of our ground we kill them like dag;:.
I think they will get tired of it before
long and turn against their rotten
kaiser who kills women and chil l
ren. I guess you have seen by the
papers that U. S. boys are giving a
good account of themselves. The
Y. M. C. A. is a good tiling for us
over here. I was down there the other
day and they had a sign up which
read "When have you written moth

of my dear mother that is dead. I
am getting along fine. We are hav
ing some fine weather here now. Give
my regards to all.

take the home flour even at a
higher price.
I do not pretend to Say that
there is sufficient flour in Nor
th Carolina to-supply anything
like the normal demand. What
I do mean to say is that if we
are to supply our Allies with the
quantity they must have we have
as much flour in North Carolina
as we are entitled to and as much
In proportion as the people of
any other State or section and
we have no right to more",
