To get the most out of the corn crop the stalks in every cornfield should be cut and shocked in the next few weeks to prevent a shortage of forage for wintering live stock. This is very important on the uplands where the forage question is always big one. It certainly should be done by those farmers who expect to feed cattle this winter and do not have silo capacity for their corn crop.

COUNTIES TO GET WAR
SAVINGS HONOR FLAG

Winston-Salem. June 22:-State
Headquarters for War Savings was
authorized today to make the state
ment that to every county that
pledges its quota in War Savings on
or before June % will be issued a
War Savings Honor Flag. This flag
which marks a distinct service rem
dered by the county to the Cover
ment in the War Savings Campaign
will be eight feet long and five feet
wide. In design it will be similar
to the National Service Flag, except
IN the center a large w. S. S. EN-
blem will take the place of the stars
The flag is most attractive and viii
be a distinct honor to the people OF
any county winning it.
The workers at State Headquar-
tiers are encouraged to hope to issue
one hundred of these flags as re-
suit OF the War Savings Drive, June
1923. They confidently believe thai
every county in the State will strive
to its utmost to secure an honor
i1ag, and that their efforts will meet
with success.

From all indications things are
not going just right with the Central
Powers, and for that very reason
every man in this county should
subscribe for all the War Stamps
he can possibly buy; then if every
body in the United States should do
the same, when the news reaches
the Central Powers that every man,
woman and child is behind the
government in this war, things will
be in worse shape than they are now,
because they will realize that the
United States is in the war with all
the wealth of the nation.

day night and last night by soldiers
and sailors, Judge Barham of the cor

charged to investigate the trouble
and bring indictments against those
who participated. The matter was
brought to the attention of the court
following the attack last night upon
the Office of the Daily Press by band
of soldiers and sailors, which was
dispersed by military police.
Their reason for the attack on the
newspaper office, it is said, was the
probable outcome of misinterpreta-
