MORRIS PLAN S ANNUAL MEET
ING
There was a meeting of the stock
holders of the High Point Morris
Plan last week, at which the follow
ing officers were re-elected : H. A.
Millis, president; A. Sherrod, vice
president; W. L. Morrow, secretary
treasurer, 0. E. Mendenhall, asst.
secretary and treasurer; T. J. Gold,
general counsel.
The company had a fine year's
business and bright prospects for the
the future. A 6 per cent annual
dividend was declared.
The splendid wrV in which the
book3 of the secretary and treasurer
were kept was warmly compli
mented. NATURE PAINTS U. S. FLAG
The pretest red, white and blue
flag (the standard of our great and
glorious country) that was ever
painted, barring none, was unfolded
to view Saturday afternoon at 5:10
o'clock. It was not the work of a
human being requiring days and
weeks, but of a Supreme Being who
placed it on the western sky line
just at the end of a perfect day for
all those waose ajre-i prone to
look up, to see. It cToes not require
a stretch of the imagination to de
scribe th"s beautiful sunset scene re
flected aganst the gentle clouds it
was as real as hfe itself, and we will
paint a word picture of the scene
just as it appeared, with not a thing
overdiawn, no matter how strange it
may appear to those whose eyes
were not in the "right place ' at the
time.
We were sitting in a little coun
try home (at PhiilipWelborn's) rest
ing from a three hours' tramp after
rabbits. We were looking 5ut of the
window at the fast sinking sun and
just as the sun had "split itself in
half beyond the western horizon we
noticed the erstwhile lazy floating
silver clouds take on coloring which
from second to second grew more
beautiful and when the last half of
the sun was no more visible a halo
of variegated colors spread out be
fore the eye like a beautiful pano
rama. Here were red, wbite'and blue
stieaks and my, what deep, beauti
ful colors, and there myriads of
deep blue spots. The colors seem
to quickly adjust themselves and we
looked upon the scene spellbound
until a beautiful red, white and blue
flag with a sprinkling of blue stars
was the result. There it rested as if
held together by an omnipotent hand
lear across the western horizon
with the folds playing to the breeze,
and looking close at the strange phe
nomenon one could discern a figure
1 and 9 These were plainly formed
we thought we could make out
two other letters but we are giving
the facts only in this case. Three
other people at our request looked
upon the scene. Such colors no mor
tal eye ever saw before. We have
seen many strange phenomenas in
the heavens but never before our
beautiful emblem which was fash
ioned affer heaven's - beautiful col
ors, no doubt, to bless mankind
Every other nation on earth has a
war symbol on its flag, but look at
ours only the cobrs of heaven.
Wonder if our flag is to be immor
talized and emblazoned on the
heavens in righteous indignation at
the cruelties practiced by Germany
and her hell -born aggregation. Since
we were forced into the war and
have announced to the world that
we are not working for a selfish end
but only for humanity, me thinks
the God of us all has pidked Amer
ica and her standard to carry out
his purpose in this war. Who knows?

FRUGAUITV
(by w. h. dugdale)
TNDER existing conditions
we
are forced by circumstances
over which we have no dirf mn.
trol, to realize the evidences of real J
war that surround us on all sides.
With the young manhood of our na
tion taking up the burden for the
cause of justice and right, it is not a
difficult task for us
to realize the great
duty i hat is of ne
cessity laid at our
door. Indeed it does
not require any
stretch of- the imag
ination to draw a
mind picture that
will bring out in
vivid colors the suffering and oriva
tions that fall to the lot of the brave
boys who are defending our home,
our flag and our country and don't
forget, it comes to them all, to a
greater or less degree. No artist
ever did or ever will put on canvas
a true duplicate, as it is a picture no
artist can paint. It matters not
whether the suffering comes from
wounds received in action, physical
inability to stand up under the
forced requirements, or inanition,
the results are the same, and results
are the prime motive for every ac
tion. And -this is where frugality
comes in. Whether from choice.or
necessity, it is the duty of every
man, woman and child to under
stand and realize the importance of
frugally. It is the rich man's mot
to, it formed ihe rounds in the lad
der on which he eiimbed to wealth;
it is free, it does not :equire you to
make any sacrifice detrimental to
your own best interests, but it does
ask you to waste not, to be conserv
ative; it teaches the golden rule,
and asks you to put yourself in the
other man's place.
Frugality will create a spirit in
keeping with the times that will
stimulate a d?ire to honor them
that think no danger too great, no
price too dear when true affection
calls. Surely then you won t fail to
cultivate frugality in this, our coun
try's time of need. What a comfort
It wiRbe to you when the noise : oflfer. This is conceded by all creeds
battle is over and the awful tension
has relaxed, to know that you have
done your part, and may it be said
of us as loyal Americans, "Well
done, thou good and faithful ser
vants. " It is within the possibilities
of us all to grow stronger, and fru
gality will do it. Study well your
part and stick to your lines and by j
concerted action and a steady pull;
we can land the ship of peace in a ;
f harbor Fteard the lion in his !
UUl V i J l- v w - w
den and end for all time the power
that rules with an iron hand, whose
motto is "might over right." This
must ail end. The time has come
when the laws of God and man re
pel against it, and it is up to us to
- m 1 . i
make good, and frugality is the j
leaven in the loaf; it is (he salt ot tne
issue; it adds -Spice and flavor to tne
effort, and must be cultivated. It is
not to be presumed that as a nation
we are not frugal lar from it. fru
gality has made iis what we are to
day. What we need now is a greater
effort and broader conception ana a
better understanding oi its impor-
rww, onrl nnlv nnrselves to the
task then we win. We do not con
sider any other result. Don't waste,
don't over-buy, have enough but
consider the other fellow.
It is said of us that we waste
enough every year to feed an army.
This may or may not be true, but if
thi statement could te substan-
tiated it would require a powerful you to patronize. Kead ad.
lot of frugality to offset it. However The Bank of Commerce announces

ability to get a little the better of
thpir good iudgment. These state-
mentsdo not weigh much and are a
bone of contention, for argument
only, and to the average mind has
not much significance, but it is with
in the scope of any one's conception
to realize the importance of frugal
ity. Your share may be the widow s
rnite, but it is your contribution if
you do your best, to the extent of
your ability without creating auy
hardship on yourself or others then
you have done well Bear in mind
some one is watching you, not as a
spy but simply as a criterion to go
by, to justify their action without
regard to financial or social oppor
tunities. Frugality is only one of a large
family of personal accomplishments,
of which thrift is the handmaid, pre
paredness first cousin and activity
the head. The trinity on which we
base our hopes, and it all depends
on us individvally and collectively
V Ho our best. Our boys at ihe
front expect it. On our frugality de-1

pends their welfare. Remember a
lot of these boys left warm firesldei
surrounded by every comfort, liv
ing fathers and mothers, brothers
and sisters, and it is a long cry to
the trenches "over there with he
whiz of shot and shell as a lullaby
to tired bodies. No mother's "ood
night, son," no father's advice;tQ
guide; all this carries the bov back
home, and his environments do riot
add much to his comfort. Frugality
at home will do much to cheer him
up and alleviate his sufferings,
whether in the trench or on the cot
in the hospital. j
Do not imagine it is any picnic to
undergo the strenuous training the
boys must endure, the severe dis
cipline they are subjected to, the
1 rules and regulations that govern a
military camp On and off the field
is quite as exacting as at college
and the penalties are more severe
for dereliction of duty and violation
of military orders, but it produces
good men, builds up character and
teaches frugality, and the boy knows
us vu,y ami nas aoiomg iaim in us
efficacy. Be on the alert to discover
any new opportunity, to use frugal
ity; it is a willing ally and always
responds. It may take a little sac
rifice on our part, but what is that
to the amount of good we may do
for ourselves and others?
Christ made frugality- an obiect -
lesson when after feeding the five relative to making a substatial rail
thousand with five loaves and to rad crossing on Main street and co
fishes, He instructed his disciples to operating with the city in paving
gather up the fragments and there Broad street. It is understood that
were twelve baskets. Nothing went Mr. Miller will recommend the im
to waste and it was a big crowd at provernents be made,
that, It was the same spirit of fru-
gality, tiie same brand, made and THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
delivered by the same power, "given President Wilson's speech before
to us as a gift from God, and used Congres? Tuesday was a masterpieee
by our Saviour at the will of him j of statecraft', abounding with love
who sent him. All this is given to! for all and hatred to none, and is
us free, without money and without j bound to strike a responsive chord
price, and it is our privilege and j in the hearts of all true lovers of
duty to use it.
Don't mistake penuriousness
for frugality they are contrary ele
ments. The laws of God and man
do not require it, nor will it be ac
cepted only in the spirit in which it
is given, for no man liveth to him
self, anil the Lord loves a ctiejptfuj
in all ages, and we can do no better
than to follow its precepts. .Make
frugality a part of our everyday life,
live it, act ir, practice it and teach
it. Scatter sunshine along the path
way of life. Some one will benefit
bv it. We cannot put sunshine
enougn in our lives tu onsec me.

snauows mat tne omer ienow win

side, practice frugality and you have
struck the key-note that puts the
whole world in tune and time the
two great essentials for harmony.

of saving money and building up
a substantial savings account with

passes, Mr. Crowson, the chashier,
advi es us, a larger percentage of
the depositors in the Christmas Sav

this club was responsible for their
having any bank account at all.
This system is working wonders all

War saving and thrift stamps are

pay $4.12 for each $5 war savings
stamp during this month and next
and in five years you get $5 on each,

The thrift stamps sell for 25c each
and are exchangeable for war stamps
when $4 worth or more are secured.
Surely now every man, woman and
child is not too poor to do his part
by the government. A man or wo
man so unpatriotic as not to invest
at least a few cents in such trying
times certainly is to be Censured.
