FINAL WORD TO DELIN=
QUENTS

For the past six weeks your
attention has been called to the
fact that on October 1st all sub
scriptions not paid beyond that
date would be stricken from eur
books, so if you do not get your
paper next week you will know
the reason why.
There are yet few who have
not responded to our urgent call.
made imperative by a govern
ment ruling, requiring ALL pap
ers TO be paid in advance. wheth-
er one month or more in advance.
We yet hope the tardy ones
will pay up and renew, or failing
so to do, save US the expense and
them the embarrassment, of COL
lecting same. Surely this con-
sideration is due the editor.
This is the last paper delin-
Quents will receive without they
pay up at least to Nov. /.

High Points "Work or Fight" Com

the Chronic Rosters of the
Township. il.

The work Or fight committee of the
High Point council of defense, com
posed of O. Arthur Kirkman, chair
man; John Hayworth and w. T.
Parker, has gotten busy, the result
being that abbreviated questionnaires
have been sent to about 20 men Of
the city and township seeking infOr-
nation as to what work they are en-
gagged in and, if any, to what extent
The questionnaires must be returned
within "a hours. The men receiving
the warming who reside in the city are
getting their questionnaires from mem
bers of the police department, while
Deputy Sheriff J. E. Wagner is wait
ing on" those who reside elsewhere in
the township.
Chronic loafers are menaced by the
committee, it is asserted, for it has
been determined that every able
bodied man shall work. regardless OF
the extent of the attack ofathe hook
worm on his disposition. In their orig
inal announcement, made shortly af-
ter their organization was perfected,
the members of the committee stated
that the work or fight" rules prOmul-
gated by Provost Marshal General
Crowder would be enforced to the let
ter, regardless of stand ing, race color
or creed To judge from the list OF
questiOnnaires sent out this course
has been followed to the letter.
Should the charge of chronic fdldng
be made out against the men con
cerned, they will be faced with one of
two alternatives: going TO wrOk or to
the army. }
