OJILY ll.?0 FEB YEAB IJI ADVANCE The Franklin Times AN ADVEKTISIJfO ??I)1VM THAT UBINGS A. F. Johnson, Editor and Mana,er. THE COUNTY, THE tfj^TE, THE UNION Snb.eriptlon |U0 P?r Tear VOLUME XLVIII LOUI9BUBG, N. C, FWl^, APKIL Si, 191?. ~ MUMBKB ? VICTORY LIBERTY U LOAN BOND FRANKLIN COUNTY'S QUO-! TA IS $212,200.00. An Exceptional Investment With Most Attractive Terms ? I ?Everybody is Expected to i Take a Bond and Show Ap preciations of Our Boys. Many of us felt when the ar mistice was signed that the ne cessity for financial support of our government ceased, but when we look at the matter se riously we realize that to en tertain such a feeling is not on ly unreasonable but un-Ameri can and untrue to ourselves. To win the w?r ?peedily Un cle Sam threw every ounce of his strength into the job, and it is needless to mention here how speedily he won the war, how well the job was done or how many thousands of lives were saved by reason of Uncle Sam's stupendous efforts. In order to carry out his program : "nele Sam spent a great deal "v*. 'noney and incurred some v. . ?? heavy obligations. If we hai ;<v do the job over again we wot , I gladly spend double that amount of money In order to accomplish the same results. So the money was well spent and 'the world at large, as well a? even- true American, is proild of Uncle Sam and those nephews of Ids who did the job in France. Those nephews of j Uncle Sam, who did the job so i welT"'fbver there'1, Went "iritoi the fight with faith in the prill , ciplcs at stake and faltli in the folks back home to see tliem through,'and we folks back] home have not seen those boys, through until we help their Un ci?.' Sam. and our Uncle Sam. i pay ? iT his obligations. There arc just two ways in j which these obligations can be nut, namely: First, by directj a in 1 very heavy taxation, win -h | method would mean that thisi generation would have to pay! more than its proportionate share of these obligations whirtf were incurred for the" benefit nf nil eomiiyr genera tions. The second, by compar atively moderate taxation and bond issues, which will spread the burden of these obligations over the shoulders of this and coming generations and there by relieve all of any undue hardship. The bonding inettiod re cognized as the wise way and the just way and Uncle Sam is offering now the last or Victory Liberty LoarnBrmrHssue. Thw issue of bonds is the most at tractive ever put out by Uncle Sam since the Civil War, and we believe would be taken up j entirely by the money interests of -the big cities if offered ex clusively to those interests, but this is not Uncle Sam's way of doing things now-a-days; our government is today more near ly a government of the people^ for tlie people and by the peo ple than ever before, and we are. all given the privilege of getting in on this last and best Victory Liberty Loan. As an I investment a Victory Bond is; the best tl?t; can be offered,! bearing interest at 4 3-4 and ??iM^^^n^^Iay^U, 1!)2.''>, and !>ci all taxes as far as we are con-1 eei ned. These bonds'can be paid fori as follows: 10 per cent cash with subscription, 10 per cent' July 1"), 1910, 20 per cent Au-I ijust 12, 1919, 20 per cent Sep- j teinber 9, 1919. 20 per cent Oc-i "?? ??? wmT'u i ember 11, 1919. Franklin County's quota in j this campaign is-$212,200.00 ami she will "go over the top" Will she go over the top with or without your'help? The big investors are putting all the money they can raise in these bonds; we honor their pa triotism ami respect their busi ness judgment, but we little fellows should also have a part ?in this thing and ever}- man and womfin in Franklin County should try to buy alt least one $50.00 Victory Liberty Bond'. There will be a great patri otic rally in Louisburg on Tu Bsdav, April 29th, when _wel will welcome our boys home. If you have not subscribed for your Victory- Bond before that day, you will be given an op portunity to do so. The boys will be here and we will' all have a glorious time. Some of those boys will wear medals won on the fields of France. We home folks can not wear those medals but we too can wear a badge of honor on that day and that badge of honor will be the little blue Victory Bond Button, which will signify to those boys not only that our hearts, but our money is in the right place.' - Echoes From the College.
