'ALL WAR SAVINGS
SOCIETIES URGED
TO keep WORKING

"Official statistics show that there
are more than $4,000 War Savings
Societies in this country and 17,oo0
of these are in our district" says
Frank NJ. Smith. Federal District
Director for the Eleventh Federal
War Savings District, in discussing
the nationwide thrift movement.
/ These Government War Savings
Societies have well proved their use
fulness under war conditions in the
marketing of War Savings Stamps
and Thrift Stamps. Their mission
is Just as important Eow, and will
therefore be permanently continued
in order to push and extend the sale
of War Savings Stamps. Thrift Is
power. When we save, We succeed
I'VE have learned that thrift is not
boarding. 1t doesn't mean cutting
down expenses foolishly, but it does
mean cutting out foolish expenses.
1t means spending thought before
spending money. 1t does not re.
uuire expert knowledge of the laws
OF finance; all it requires is common
sense.
"War Savings Stamps are within
the reach--el- anyone, no matter how
small the opportunities for saving.
A quarter buys Thrift Stamp A
War Savings Stamp costs s4.14 dur
ing March and one cent month ad.
ditional till December. when the
price will be s4.23. Each War Saw
ings Stamp bought now will bring
the owner IS on January ]. 1924. The
rate of interest is the highest for any
Government security ever issued.
II hope every community in the
district will maintain its War Saw
ings Societies and add to, their mum
ber. Everyone who is concerned In
the business Of living is vitally inter
ested in Thrift and the Savings
Campaign and should be a member
Of War Savings Society.
None is too poor to have a part
None 50 we'll off he can be indiffer
ent. Thrift is good management ol
the business of living. The man
woman or child who has mastered
Thrift is master of his fate. The
people who acquire the Thrift habit
are on the high road to success.
"One Of the best ways TO practice
thrift Is to practice intelligent buy
ing. We should bury, not what VIZ
think we want, but what he know
we need. This kind of buying is fal
from miserliness. The business mer
will appreciate 1t fol- it means fre

M AY CONTEST
ELECTION RESULT
Much Talk of Defeated Candi-
didates Asking For Recount.
Irregularities Alleged ut
Certain Precincts.

There has been more or less talk
within the past week of contest of
the election by some of the defeated
candidates. 1t is said that L. Il. Nc
Call will ask for II recount of the bal
lots of the county as he believes IL
recount will show different result.
The rumor that DR.. C. w. Grecvcr
proposed to contest for the clerkship
is untrue. A representative of this
paper called at the Clerks office yc.-
terday and DR.. Grcevcr said he had
no intention of conteSting the cleo
tion of Mr.. Surface.
There has been good deal of talk
of Irregularities ut certain precincts
in the county, namely Boisscvain,
Cove Creek, and Crocketts Cove,
where, it is alleged, the postmasters
Mt those points served as judges of
election which is forbidden by law.
1t is also said that at number of
precincts in the county the local reg
istrars served as judges. In case n
contest were brought to court and
these precincts thrown out quite q
change might be made in the result.
The last day in which notice of in
tcntion to contest the returns of the
electoral board expired yesterday,
however, and there need be no loss
of sleep by the candidates whose ma
joritics were dangerously small.

STOP! READ This

Last week we paid $6.75 per 100
pounds for news print paper. This is
an advance Of more than 300 per cent
over pre-war prices. Don't be sur
prised if subscription rate is increas-
cd to $500 January 1st.
A small profit was made so long
as we could buy paper at three or
three and half dollars but at $6.75
freight and drayage added, there is
nothing in it. We are advised that
the price of paper will be highei
still. A number of weekly papers have
suspended publication. Others have
raised their rates, as everything else
has gone up in price.
We may be forced to raise or sus-
pend, and we have no idea of sus-
pending. So, don't be surprised if the
rate is $500 next year. New and re-
newal subscriptions will be accepted,
of course at the old rate of $1.50 up
to January 1st but after that date
we reserve the right to increase the
rate to $500, and it looks now as
tho this will be necessary.
Better examine the dates on your
label. EDITORS.

PEACE TREATY
is LAID ASIDE
Attempts to Ratify Proves Fu-
tile-Document Dead Unless
President Resubmits 1t To
The Senate Later.

Washington, Nov. 10 failihg
treaty, the Senate late Wednesday,
laid it aside, ended the special ses-
sion and went home.
All compromise efforts to bring
ratification failed, the three resolu-
tions Of ratification all going down
by overwhelming majorities. The Re-
publican leaders apparently dispair-
ing of bringing two-thirds of tho
Senate together for any sort of
ratification, then put in a resolution
to declare the war at an end
Democrats Opposed Ratification
Two of the three ratification votes
were taken on the resolution drafted
by the Republican majority, contain
ing reservations which President Will
son had told Democratic Senators in
a letter earlier in the day would mean
notification of the treaty. On each
of the votes mosts of the Democratic
supporters of the treaty voted against
ratification.
Republican leader Lodge declar-
ed Wednesdays voting constituted a
final decision on the peace treaty
unless President Wilson circumvent-
ed the Senate rules by withdrawing
it and then submitting it again to the
Senate. In other quarters there was
some difference of opinion, but the
general sentiment seemed to be that
there was only n slender chance that
the treaty would come up the next
session of Congress, beginning next
month.

Senator Martins Estate.

An appraisement Of the estate of
Senator Thomas S. Martin, who died
in Charlottesville last week shows
that the total value of his worldly
goods amounted to about 100000.
Senator Martin has been in the
United States Senate for over quar-
ter of century, and to have died
practically poor man after sue /
valiant service to his State and ma
tion is indeed compliment to his
honor and integrity The general
rule has been in years past that seat
in the Senate of the United States
has been the stepping stone to for
tune. Very few Senators retire from,
that body poor men.
The salary of Senator is $4,000
a year, n small income compared
with that of leading lawyers in pri-
vate life. Many "small" lawyer
makes quite rs much, and the "big"
lawyers in the cities could not live
on this amount. Senator Martin was
Il plain man of simple plain habits,
strictly temperate. To live in Wash
ington the life of prominent Sen
ator, on $4,000 a year, and save
100000 is an example worthy of
imitation-an object lesson to the
young men of this generation.

Two Valuable Mules Drowned

George Stuart, laborer on the
farm of Clint Newberry Barns, in

by drowning last Saturday, when n
team of mules he was driving became
scared on the bridge near Maiden
Spring and backed the wagon to
which they were hitched and which
was loaded with wheat, into the mill
DAM. and were pulled in with it. Both
of the mules were drowned They
were valued at 5000. Stuart, with
difficulty, extricated himself from the
wagon and aside from good duckine
he was none the worse for the expe-
riencc. The wagon load of wheat, val
uable these days, was, of course, lost
in the deep water.

CONSPICUOUS by HIS ABSENCE.

(Richmond Evening Joulnal)
0 pity of it! The president of
the United States, the secretary of
the treasury, distinguished body of
Uunited States senators from all sec
tions of the Union, Federal, State and
city officials from Virginia, men in
professional and civic life, goodly
concourse, halted in their various pur-
suits to pay the. last tribute of re-
spcct to the statesman who had sery
ed his State and his country for n
quarter of n century, but the Gov
ernor of Virginia, alone of all the
public men in the Commonwealth.
was conspicuous by his absencs. He
went on diving jaunt in n subma-
rinc in the James River. Admits,
that the State executive and the
Democratic leader, whose earthly re-
mains have just been laid away at
Charlottesville, belonged to different
political factions and saw many pub
lie questions in a different light, the
fact that death intervened and that n
trusted public official of a quarter of
ccntuy's standing had been sum-
moned hence, surely, called for more
consideration from the highest official
of the State. Secretary Glass and the
late Senator Martin were not of the
same political faction, but that dl,
not prevent the able head of the trea-
sury Department from showing a
last courtesy to a fellow Virginian.
Other men of affairs, who did not
agree with the silent senator in all
his viewpoints, at least, respected his
earnestness, his zeal for what he
thought to be the right, to the ex-
tent of closing their offices and at
tending the funeral. Not so the Gov
ernor of the State. He had not a
word to say when the news came of
the demise of Senator Martin and his
Office functioned quite as usual the
day of the interment. AS for the ex-
ecutive, he want gallivanting on a
submarine, commanded by a name
sake. His newspaper Boswell, with
rare fidelity, tells us that when the
Governor learned of the coincidence
he titillated, "You can never keeE
two men named Davis submerged fo,
| long" But you never can tell.
