Each and every member of the org anization realizes the full importance c.f the undertaking to secure the quota in this county and has committed him self to give all of the time necessary to the undertaking until Bartow coun ty goes over the top in the perform ance of her duty. Preliminary meeT ings held during the week were en thusiastic asd cdnfidence is emphat ically expressed that the county will not be found wanting when the time comes to make a lepuxt. It is an opportunity for every man, woman and child in the county to as sist the government, and pledges in •he sums of $1,000,000 will be actively solicited, as well as all amounts ba liw this sum. Those who pledge themselves have until the Ist of Jan uary within which to make good their pledges and can pay it at any time be tween now and that date. Everybody will be solicited and pledges in any sum will be acceptable and even those who decline will be required to state their reason or the solicitor will state it for them on a yellow card provided by the govern ment for the purpose. The names of all who pledge themselves, as well as those declining, will be forwarded to Washington and a record kept. It is believed that Bartow county is in better situation to meet the de mands than any couny immediately adjacent to it, because of its known agricultural and mineral wealth and ether resource, and the government naturally expects those who are reaping benefits from natural condi tions will assist their government, which has been engaged in protecting the interests of all its subjects President Wilson has proclaimed Friday, June 28, as National War Savings Day. On that day the nation is ex pected to make a long stride forward in the matter of buying its quota of War Savings Stamps. S2O Per Capita Asked. At the beginning of the war a cam paign was launched to sell in th.3 United States $2,000,01)0,000 worth of these small securities, or S2O worth to every man, woman and child in the nation. The quotas were as sessed acording 'to population, in order that the sales might he as widt ly distributed as possible. In order that this idea might be enforced more strictly It was provided from the start that no one might buy more than SI,OOO worth in his own name. CARTERSVILLE, GA., JUKE 20, 191,S In some parts of the country the response has been most encouraging, while in other parts the purchase of these stamps has been sadly neg lected. Nebraska leads the nation in the purchase of War Savings, having purchased through April enough to give every man, woman tnd child in state over sl4 worth, or nearly three-fourths of the state’s quota for the year at the end of the first four months. Other states were more than half way to the goal when the first of the year closed. These states have not done these things al the expense of Liberty Bond or Red Cross work, either, for they have oversubscribed these calls liberally. Georgia Third From Last Georgia and most of the Southern states aer badly behind. Only two states have done poorer work titan has Georgia, whose per capita pur chases amount to less. than $1 On National War Savings Day ef forts will be made in all parts of the country to secure pledges for enough stamps to put the nation over the toy in this campaign, which seems to be the first in which there is any real danger of failure. Liberty Lean work ers are asked to assist the War tfav ings Stamps committees in this work 10 give them the benefit of the organ ization and workers so effective in putting over bond sales in the dif ferent communities.

His investiga tion brought out the interesting fact that 300 laborers are now employed and there is ample machinery already on the ground to produce possibly 50,000 tons of manganese yearly. Less year this district, he stated, produced only 2100 tons, but if the present rate keeps up he believes that 3550 tons will be sent from this district this year. He mentioned the fact that Hu needs of industries in this county call for approximately 800,000 tons of manganese and of this amount only* 114,000 tons were produced last year. The government desires as large as increase as possible and it will take 14,700 ton of manganese from this district should the actual needs of this year be supplied.
