liberate preraediatatod attacks of the
Germans upon our own mercy forces
at the front are enough to erouse all
of latent indignation in every loyal
American. Their brutish methods of
lighting strong, ablebodied men equip

they stoop to attack defenseless wom

and wounded, helpless men, they
show themselves to be the most cow

for them. Are we going to let these
boys who have an infinitely great
er burden to bear than we have, bear
it more courageously? Surely not—
Dooly must hold her end of the firing
line and to do this subscriptions to
cover the War Savings Stamp allot
ment must be secured.
Twenty dollars per capita is the
basis upon which the quota is fixed.
Of course this does not mean that
each individual who subscribes for
twenty dollars worth of stamps is-re
lieved from further obligations,
great many individuals cannot and
some will not subscribe for this
amount, this is a time when the
strong financially, will have to share
-the burden of the weak. The man or
woman with a large income will of
course be expected to subscribe more
liberally than those less fortunate.
It is useless to discuss tho wisdom
and safety of investing in War Saving
Stamps, those who can comprehend
such matters, are already aware that
no safer and better Investment can
be made. Every man, woman and
child in the county should have a part
in this loan to toe government. Un
like the Liberty loans, toe denomina
tions are so reduced as to - make it
easily possible for even the smallest
ai^d poorest to have a part in it and
purely it is the desire of every man,
woman and child in the county
lend a hand in this battle for justice,
for ourselves and others.

AN IMPORTANT DAY
President Wilson has designated
June 28th’ as War Savings Day, a day
. when all other business shall be laid
aside for the one purposo of securing
pledges for money that is needed
to carry forward the waf, and the
' fact that Mr. Wilson asks this should
be sufficient to convinco every Amer
ican citixen that it should be done for
throughout the part of the war pro
gram already completed this great
man has never called upon the Amer
ican people for any work or sacrifice,
that was not essential. Any plan or
project endorsed by him is usually
safe for any American to support.
The sum of money to be raised
through the sale of War Savings
Stamps seems almost stupendous up
on first consideration, coming in the
wake of the Bond Sale, Red Cross
’ Fund etc., but after one takes time to
give it more deliberate thought taking
into consideration the extended period
of time that is allowed for raising toe
sum, it does not seem such an impossi
ble task. - - - • .•.
Borne one to whom, has boon assign
ed a part in tho work of raising this
money may in a moment of weakness
think, or even say that the task is too
great A good antidote for such a
feeling is to pause and consider
whether our boy* who are offering
their all on toe other aide, stop to say
or even think, when the order comes
to face the enemy, that the sacrifice
asked of them is too great They do
not hesitate—If they should, think
what would it mean for ml And if
we hesitate think what it win mean

resented in the audience from several
districts there were numbers of men
and women, all manifesting an eager
interost in the preparation, for the
Big Drive to be made on the 28th.
The District Field Agent, Mr. Munn
of Columbus was present and stated
in toe short talk he made: that the
mooting was the most auspicious of
any he had attended in the entire fif
teen counties in the district
It was unanimously agreed that
each district committee should have
entire charge of the work in their re
spective districts, making the
ments and using wjiatever.means to
secure pledges they deem advisable;
this was done in view of the fact that
these committees are better acquaint
ed with conditions in their particular
localities than the county' officials
therefore art more capable of judg
ing oftho best plans to follow.
The i
mooting was presided over by
Mr. L. L. Woodward, County Chair
man. At the conclusion of this hour
meetings of the chairmen of toe
men's and women’s committee were
held at which definite plans for
launching the rdive were discussed.
