1. Winters.) Washington, Oct. L. Kerr of King's Mountain, N. has written Representative E.

Y. Webb, suggesting that he present to President the idea of designating a tional day of prayer. He thinks the American instead boasting of their victory in the field should give national recognition to dependence upon Almighty God, acknowledge our sins, "and end the scurge, both of pestilence and war." His letter to Representative. Webb follows: "There that I wish to see brought to our president's attention an effective am ad. vising with you in regard to it.

country is now within the grip of a influenza epidemic. Our churches are closed (the one thing above all that should be open), bustness is almost at a standstill, many places being closed up, everything seems to demoralized because of a situation that is indeed serious. The Bible teaches that such things are connected with sin. Three years of famine came in David's time because of the bloody house Saul. II Sam.

21:1. Again, David was given choice among famine, war and pestilence because of sin. The pestilence was stopped at the altar, II Sam. Why not have a day set apart for confession of sin and for yrayer for the healing of the land? If we not meet inside our churches we can meet in the open ajr. The likelihood is that not many will be stricken in convocation like the one suggested.

"It has been pointed out that since we had our day of humiliation and prayer last May the allied has met with unprecedented success. There is no question but that our nation needs the present scourging to prevent our boasting in the hour of victory; but why not in the way SUKgested give national recognition to dependence upon Almighty God, acknowledge our sins, and end the scourge, both of pestilence and war? And in addition, thank Him that he has not added famine? shall appreciate it it you will gain the ear of our great president In this matter."

-An American dier wearing three American decoratons and the ribbon of the croiz de guerre was walking down a street in Paris recently, Suddenly a French sergeant, sitting in front of a Shop Early Early, the Conditions Favor "Buy-At-Home" Policy There are many reasons, most of which have already been given in the series of articles now being presented to the public by Mr. Jones, Advertising manager of the Journal, the why people of Winston-Salem should buy of home merchants in preference to mail order houses or other outside concerns. In fact, there has been enough evidence and argument to convince every one of the advantage of trading in Winston-Salem. Attention has been called to many facts in favor of buying at -for instance. Community interest; Price of merchandise--quality and service considered; privileges of inspection and try-on (it is very difficult to fit a picture); Convenience and personal contact in presenting and securing adjustment concerning any unsatisfactory goods; Many cases of dissatisfaction with mail order buying.

Aside from all this, there is one phase of the present situation that has not occurred to many people, and that is -the delay and uncertainty of getting what you order. If transportation difficulties arise, as they did in 1917, and this they promise to do, mail order buyers will do well to buy where they can get the goods at the time the purchase in made. Especially in this true concerning holiday purchases. An uncertainty or a delay in a holiday shipment is serious. Then the matter of merchandise shortage should be considered.

They may argue differently, but the mail order houses are, perhaps, in a worse-condition than other mercantile concerns. They will be "just out" of many articles. Substitution in certain to be made in a great number of cases, Goods will be back-ordered indefinitely. On the other hand practically all the merchandise the local stores will offer this year has been shipped and received.
