Wants war to last IS Years.
That there is a man in North Caro-I
lina, a farmer, who wants the war to
last fifteen years longer so that ha
can make money is not merely hear
say. We know his name and the
county he hails from. But we be
lieve he is in a class to himself. The
farmers, alow hut sure, are steadily
coming to the call of their Govern
ment and are buying War-Savings
Stamps. Two farmers in Johnson
County, each of whom had laid by
91,000 with which to buy an automo
bile, readily gave their names ss Limit
Club members when the need of their
Government was presented to them.
Another farmei, in a western c< unty,
had luul lij 1.' DO for a rainy day, he
said. Hut when he understood that
his country needed ms money ciore
than he, he invested his 4.000 in War
Savings Stamps, making hi.s family of
four a Limit Family. Another far
mer, we know, refused to lend his
money at 8 per cent interest and
Ixiught $1,000 worth of War-Savings
Stamps, saying that was the only way
ho could help win the war.

"It is not enough for the churrhe*

Churches are contributing in this way
to their orphanages, and to other

on.

THE amount of wool needed to
apparel the average soldier has
been estimated at as high as seven
teen times the amount the average
civilian requires.
Wool grows—it is a product of nature. Its
quantity cannot be increased by increased
manufacture.
What more patriotic, every-day duty then con
fronts us than that we "conserve wool"?
ffer an opportunity to combine thrift with
