NATIVE MATERIALS URGED
INSTEAD IMPORTED GOODS
(By Associated Press. }

Manila, P. l., June 13. - War
economy for the Philippine islands
has had its first complication in
sweeping executive order issued by
Governor General Harrison advising
every government employe to exer-
else unusual care in the consumption
of supplies. He urged upon every
government bureau the necessity, In
view of the advent of war, the pos
slble increase of prices, and the pres
ent and future shortage of cargo
space on the Pacific, of economizing
at every turn and using, wherever
possible, native materials instead Of
imported goods.
This step is the first taken by the
government to impress upon its en-
ployes the necessity for wartime
economy though the heads Of de-
partments have been pracicting 1t
for two years. Careful and far
sighted buying has prevented the in
sular government from feeling the
war as we have commercial houses
and the genral public. -.

NEWS FROM

Raleigh, July "A On the part
OF the young men whose numbers
have been called in the selectiye
draft there ought to be a rush this
week to get into some North Car
DINA regiment, even if the home
companies ranks are full. Unless
a ruling OF the war department,
just announced, those drawn for
service in the draft can still
volunteer up to the time they are
individually notified to appear be
fore the local exemption board.
Those who fail to do this will
probably be assigned to regiments
Of other states.
It ought to be worth while to
any true North Carolinaian to
take advantage Of the opportunity
to touch elbows with friends and
kindred while on the French
front Of battle, instead Of serving
among personal strangers. That is

adding that he needs to be in a
hurry about it or it will be too
late. At this writing there are
several batteries Of Colonel Cox s

H00VER-WILBER
PARTNERSHIP
(By UNITED PRESS)

Washington, 24.-The Hoover
Wilbur combination is at work
again, this time in the interests Of
the nation s welfare.
Way back in the SOS Ray Ly-
man Wilbur was dignifed sen
Tor in Leland Stanford Univer-
sity, at the same time that Herbert
G. Hoover, then a big, gawky,
mining student, was a Junior. Both
students were earning their own
way through school, and incident
ally just about running the school
at the same time, according to re-
ports. Hoover got himself elect
ed financial manager Of all ath-
letics, with a small salary for his
work, and thus added to his small
income.
This was one time when con-
trasts did not draw to each other.
Neither man was brilliant and
fashy-both had to dig for what
they got, and neither had time to
go in for the fraternity crowds.
Unconsciously they formed a 81
lent partnership based upon alb
sOlute trust and confidence in
each other.
Clear down through all the
years since the two students
were graduated this partnership
has continued, sometimes separat-
ed by half the distance around the
earth. Letters were regular and
often.
When DR.. Wilbur was elected
president Of his old university,
Leland Stanford, he called his
partner, then away over in Eng
land, and had him elected to the
board Of directors. And so they
ran the university.
Now Herbert G.. Hoover, food
administrator Of the United States
has reversed the case and called
his old partner to his assistance.
DR.. Wilbur is to head the food
conservation department., while
Hoover heads the food control
| department..
Thus continues the friendship,
never question when the other
calls, each ready to give up every
thing to go to the other, with not
a thought Of material gain, for
more than thirty years without a
strain or friction.
