KEEP 1T UP.

The following from the State pub
icity manager of the War Savings
campaign for North Carolina should
appeal to every parent:
"This Christmas great number of
War Savings stamps and Thrift
stamps were given to children by
their parents. The government urges
that this plan be kept up through the
money to give their children let them
be sure to give it in the form Of five
dollar War Savings stamps, or twen-
ty-five cent Thrift stamps, and see
that the stamps are pasted on the
proper card. -,
at will be an easy matter for chill
dren themselves to earn dollars worth
of twenty-five cent Thrift stamps
only sixteen in number. All parents
will realize how much better it is fol
the children to save money than tc
waste it in buying unnecessary things
If parents will only make the effort
they can teach their children to fee
stamps that they experience in any
the same enthusiasm in buying Thrift

there be a finer sight than to SCI

stimulus into their lives, and the com
ing men and women of America will
be finer citizens on account of it.
the child is father to the man
and the parents of America can max

strongest that the country has We
produced if they will urge upon thei

Besides inculcating habits Of thri1

Nearly two blocks in the heart Of

Three distinct explosions in as many

There never has been an OFFICIAL
statement Of the scheme Of American
participation in the war, but the scope
OF the plans now begin to become ap-
parent. The American sector lies be-
tween Switzerland and Verdun.
II appears that the whole project
rests on the assignment to the United
States of the task of holding the right
flank, as British armies hold the left,
leading to the channel ports, leaving
France free to concentrate. all her
armies in the sector along the road TO
Paris.
American troops are now holding
sectors of'varying length in at least
six places on the battle line. To meet
the emergency presented by the Ger
man drive. they have been drawn away
from the region formally assigned to
the United States, and are face to face
with enemy on the Marine, IN Picardy
and Flanders.

Money Pours in Last Day.
Washington, June 26.-The biggest
harvest Of taxes ever gathered by the
federal government was finished last
night with the expiration Of the time
for paying excess profits and income
assessments without added penalties
for delinquency.
Estimates placed the sum collected
from these sources at s2.775. o00. 900 and
exact figures probably viii be known
next Monday or Tuesday. Almost a
half billion came in yesterday from
corporations and other big taxpayers,
who postponed payment as long as pos
sible.
Payments not made yesterday are
subject to penalties Of per cent. with
per cent a month interest Indica-
tions were that the aggregate OF delin-
quent payments on returns actually
filed would not be large.
Hundreds Of small business and pro-
fessional men and other individuals
failed TO fie returns or 20 make pay
ments. however. and against these an
intensive campaign will be waged
starting in two or three weeks. They
will be required to make belated re-
ports of incomes and to pay heavy
penalties to avoid prosecution as tax
dodgers.
The internal revenue bureau, with
its ramihcations in sixty-four collection
districts and its methods Of gathering
accurate information on incomes al
ready has prepared a quantity OF sta
tistics to serve as proof of the inten-
ton of many citizens and business
firms to dodge tax liability.
Tax collectors have instructions to

other law enacted by the legislature.
The only way any Texan can get nquo,
without violating the law is to go out

back himself for his personal use.
1t is expected that constitutionality
of the law will be tested. Put since the
