Inasmuch as pos sible, we have tried to five every man in the County an opportunity to do his "bit." (But regardless of that opportunity there are some men of food estate who have refus ed to give a cent. I shall not at tempt to list such a fellow, but would like to aak him if he consid ers himself a true American citizen. We shall not discuss the matter from either the altruistic or chris tian standpoint but would also l'ke to aak him if be honors motherhood. If you admit you do, "Mister Tight wad," how can you resist the appttJ of the mothers of our land to h<9 save their boys and to preaesve their manhood? This is meant for every man in the County who was asked to contribute and refused to do so, provided he is financially able; and all of us could give something. The caihpaign has been quite a strenuous but a very blessed one to me. I trust, too, that this is exper ience of each one who has partici pated. And, I believe that God will look with favor upon our people be cause of this response to an appeal in the interest of His Kingdom on earth. Let us take courage and look forward to a better and higher day. God is still on His throne and will see to-it that those who try to render onto Him those things that are His shall be sustained. And we need not worry about our County, State, or National citizenship when such has been a christian in the true sense of the word. H. J. Vann, County Chairman. ? Y. M. C. A. War Fund Campaign. Save The Small Change *The man with limited means even the Khooi boy or girl with a few pennies to spare now and then ?who wants a safe and profitable investment which at the same time will help the country, finds his op portunity ^n the new war saying certificate plan. ? During December, 1917, and Jan uary, 1918. war-faving stamps will be sold at $4.12 tech, at postoffices, banks, trust companies, and many business houses and factories thra ont the country. At the beginning of each month the cost of a stamp will increase One cent. All war-sa rings stamps issued Tduring 1918 will mature January 1, 1928, when they will be redeemed at $5 each. The difference between purchase price and the price at maturity rep resents the interest the Government will pay the holder, 4 per cent com Dounded quarterly. The entire wealth and secur ity of the United States is behind the war-savinjrs certificates. No person may purchase at one time more than $100 worth, or hokf at one time more than $1,000 worth of these securities. Thrift stamps costing 26 cents each may be purchased at any time and affixed to a thrift card, which is supplied without cost. These stamps will not bear interest, but a thrift card when filled at a cost of $4 may be exchanged for an inter est-bearing war-savings stamps by turning the card in and paying the difference between $4 and the cur rent price of a war-saving stamp. With the first war-saving stamps bought the purchaser will obtain without charge a war-savings cer tificate containing space for 20 of these stamps. It the 20 spaces are filled prior to January 1, 1918, the cost to the purchaser will have been $4.12 (or each stamp, or $82.40 for the filled certificate, and on January 1, 1923, the Government will ledeem it at $100, giving the holder a net profit of $17.60 tor the use of bis money. Money derived from war-savings investments will be used to meet the expenses of the war. The great er part of these funds will be ex pended with the United States. L. T. Sumner, Ahoskie postmaster, has already received a supply of the savings stamps, and he will issue them to those wishing to make a small, safe tfnd secure [Investment. \ V ' | | To Care a CoM la One Day. . fSfggBfmm Subscribe for the Herald. .Report of tb* Condition of Farmers-Atlantic Baak miMi. ?. ?*.
