WAR SAVINGS DRIVE
Robson is Expected to Raise
Rest of It's Quota This Week
Two Soldiers Who Have Seen
Actual Service in the Trenches
Will Attend Rallies Scheduled
to Be Held at Various Places in
the County-Where Meetings
Will Be Held and the Speakers.

AS has been stated in The Robeson-
ian, the final War Savings drive will
be held in Robson county this week.
In the first drive the people of this
county pledged only AZ per cent of
their quota, which is 1,059 ,280. The
task this week is to secure pledges
to buy the remaining So per cent, or
more than $500,0OO.
It is big task but it can be done
and must be done if Robson is not to
be known as a Stacker county. A
number of other counties in the State
have raised their quotas and Robeson
county cannot afford to fail to raise
its quota.
In order for the county to make
clean and clear record by the end of
this week it will be necessary for
some who have already pledged to buy
a certain amount to increase their
pledges to the utmost that they are
able to buy by saving the balance of
this var, and for those who have not
pledged anything to pledge as much
as they can possibly purchase. You
have until the last Of the year to pur-
chase the amount in stamps you may
pledge to purchase.
Assisting in the drive this week
will be two soldiers who have seen
actual service in the trenches, wound
ed or gassed soldiers who have been
sent back home for treatment at the
Government hospital at Waynesville,
where soldiers who have been through
the hell of it are nursed back to
health and strength. These soldiers,
Messrs. Dennison and Martins, will
be with speakers who will address
War Savings rallies at various places
in the county this week. Be sure to
attend one at least of these rallies
and hear and see one Of these soldiers
and be ready-t do your part in this
important part Of the battle that you
can help win with your dollars.

SWEET TEETH GET
 SAMMIES IN BAD
 WITH FlRENCHMEN

With the American Army in France February 14,-(Correspondence ol The Associated Press. )-Ihere are certain members of the American EX- peditionary Forces whose appetite. tor honey has brought them into difflcul- ties with the provost marshal. There are dozens of complaints from French farmers that roaming American sold- iers have carried off bee hives.
 In some cases the hives have been found mius the honey while in others the soldiers did not have time to eX- tract it before the provost guards came around and rescued the hives and returned them to their owners. ,,
 One hive-hunting guard was well stung during a rescue. It went thru nearby commands hoping to identify by bee stings the men who had re- moved the hives from hill couple of miles away. They were unsuc- cessful for there was not a sting on any soldiers face or hands. The provost has come to the conclusion that there are many American sold iers who had something to Go with bees before coming in to the army.

Nicholas and his wife are condemned on principle. to life of seclusion; they are only allowed to leave the house in order to attend mass, at a neighboring convent. The masters ofthe hour in Petrograd, even con- slider the authorization to frequent the public baths, once week, as quite an exceptional favor. On these oc- casions they are invariable escorted by four officers and a squadron of soldiers. It is. these same officers, who take upon themselves the pur- chasing of all small household neces- sites, not wishing to entrust this du- ty to the imperial family's four ser wants, valet and three maids.
