Thousands of your fellowmen arc groins to their death at this very moment that you may live at ease and prosperity here in your homes, surrounded by your family and friends. Our American soldiers and sailors yes. soldiers and sailors given by the heroic mothers of Robeson Countyare today offering up their lives upon the grea't ships and upon the blood-soaked battle-fields of Eftfope, thai you may dwell here at home, in peace, in plenty and in safety. mi.. P.il 1.1 l Ll-JuK , i ue nit tiers oi r ranee anu naigiaaa ami America, too given their flesh and blood; Spartan mothers, imbued the tender spirit of the mother instinct, the God-eiven right of all womanhood; yea, widowed mothers, have given their only son; fatherless children, hundreds of thousands of them, are wandering alone, like hunted beasts through the dark forests of France and Belgium: lives of millions have to be shed like the leaves of the forest, to form the soil where ideals of liberty and justice shall take root and grow all of this in your defense and for the sake of your children's chil dren. Above it all, America and her Allies, representatives of the Prince of Peace, do battle with the pagan Huns, followers of the Prince of Darkness, that the principles of the Christian religion may be maintained. Upon you, the farmers of the nation, is now placed a great share of America's stupendous task of providing her soldiers with the supplies to sustain them, and the guns to strike the merciless foe. This can be done by investing in Liberty bonds, the safest investment in all the world, and efery dollar so invested will be returned to you with interest. The farmers of France and England, no less than their heroic sons, in the battle-trenches, are supporting their armies, and now to you, the farmers of America, has come the duty of supporting your soldiers. The farmers of this county, be it said with regret, have not responded to the call for money to suppdrt their Govern ment as liberally as they should have done. Only an exceed ingly small per cent, subscribed fo the former issues of Liberty bonds. . Will you have to be begged to do your duty in this su preme hour, in defense of the land that gave you birth, the mothers that bore you, and the ones you love? "Why abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to hear the bleatings of the flock? Zebulon and Naphtali were a people that jeopardized their lives unto the death, in the high places in the field."
