 Generally speaking, Democrats do not let piums go to waste As matter of fact they have ravenous appetite for plums. It is even said that in many instances they have followed the reprehensible Republicans example; multi piled them to suit the eXigencies of occasions. Be that as it may, the recson for the delay in the appointment of man to the office is not clear, an we should like to know the reason.
 The rumor is going the rounds that local man be chosen. Which is proper to great eX- tent; but not absolutely so if we take everything in consideration. The local men contend that the importation of man for the office is not conductive to harmony in the party. However, they seem to forget that Attorney Holzheimer was taken from here and sent to Nome. Bunnell was taken from Valdez and sent to Fairbanks, and many others have been sent from one place to another But while they quarrelling among themselves, the plum is going to waste, making Republican office seekers mouths water The case should be reported to MT.

The need for aeroplane lumber is very ap- parent from the offer the government is making ger thousand feet On the face of it one should think it great temptation for the lumber men; vet there seems to be no great hurry on their part to tackle the job. There are several reas ons for this. Among then1-besides the scar city of clear timber, and one of the great draw backs is the fact that the government wants stumpage,
 Speaking to lumber man few days ago, he said in part: If the government is in great need of Alaska spruce; why this charge for -tumpage2 Why not give the men chance |?
 Looking into the question little further, we find that man may have to cut down many trees before one is found suitable, and the stum- paGe is accommodating, For a man is charged for every tree he falls. Of course should fortune favor him. he might come across nice bunch of timber and make good money at the price the government is offering. But there is the ele- ment of gamble involved, which very few men, comparatively speaking are ready to take. Ac- cordng to that man. the government takes no chances. The stumpage is assured
 From that it would seem fair that the gov ernment should risk the price of the stumpage against mans time. The latter is willing to gamble his time against stumpage, which in jus tice should be all that the government should require.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
FIND IDLE MONEY
War Savings Campaign Bringing
Money "Out of the Sock-PeOple
Learning Why Safe to Invest.

That there is idle money in North
Carolina that's doing no one any good,
and that it is not only the amounts
stored away in stocking, trunks and
old places, but gold and silver dollars
in the form of Christmas presents
birthday gifts and other collections, is
the opinion Of Mr.. A. B. Andrews of
Raleigh, who cites one or more in
stances in which this has been the
case.
Recently" Mr. Andrews says, "a
young man here was given War
Savings stamp and it was explained
to him that the Sab, the cost Of the
stamp, would in five years earn him
81. 90. This put him to thinking. For
three Christmases, the first il 1912

five years from now, not SIS but $40
This he did, and said that this was
the first time that he had ever seer
why people should invest their money
even a s5 gold piece"
Other instances in which the Wal
Savings stamps is bringing out Idle
and "hid away" money are cited by
post Office officials of another State
They say that one post office in ont
day received a IS bill dated 1853
which was so old it fell into bit!
