over the county, made such a speech
as fired his audience with determina
tion of the "Berlin or bust" variety
and sent them forth to put Robeson
so far over the top in the fourth Lib
erty loan that generations vet un
born shall be proud of the record.
If ail the people of the county could
have heard that speech the county's
allotment of $803,500 would have been
oversubscribed then and there.
Parkton District Not Represented.
Nine of the 10 districts into which
the county has been divided for the
fourth Liberty loan were represented
by committeemen appointed for the
drive which began on the 28th and
who were asked to come to this meet
ing for a conference. Parkton dis
trict was the only one not represented.
A goodly number of ladies of the
women's committee also attended the
meeting.
Some Startling Facts.
Mr. Lawrence revealed some start
ling and unpalatable facts in regard
to North Carolina's and Robeson
county's records in previous Liberty
loans. Leading: ur to his fie-ures bv
reference to the proud position North
Carolina holds in the National Gov
ernment, having when war was de
clared a Cabinet office, an Ambassador
at the court of St. James, chairman
of the Senate finance comrmctee,
chairman of the House ways and
means committee, besides other im
portant chairmanships in Congress,
it being true now more than ever at
the Nation's capitol that "where North
Carolina sits is the head of the table,"
he showed that North Carolina has
stood at the very bottom of the list
in every Liberty loan campaign. The
Government keeps a record, and from
that record he quoted the following
facts :
In the first Liberty ':an, the pur
chase of bonds by the people of other
States in the fifth Federal Reserve
distr:ct was $11.93 per capita, while
North Carolina's was $3.92 per capitti
in the second, other States. $21(5,
North Carolina, $11.69; 3rd. other
States, $20.26, North Carolina, $10.24.
In North Carolina, only 3 men 'ut of!
every 100 have subscribed to ly Lib- j
erty loan; in Arizona, a desert, 1:0;
out of a hundred; in Iowa, a farming
State, 19; in Maine, a poor -tit. U; j
Minnesota, 25; M ontana, 23; T e w
Hamnshire, 19; Wisconsin, 21; Wyom-I
ing, 26.
Robeson is above the average, and
yet in the last Liberty loan the aver
age for the county was $7.15 per cap
ita. "God help her," he exclaimed,
"69 per cent of the average of Norta
Carolina, which was only S10.24.
These facts hurt, he said, but we must
face them. It is not due to lack of
patriotism, but to the fact that we
are so miserably busy about our own
affairs we have not gone out and told
the people. It reminded him of a man
sitting in comfort before his own fire,
readng and smokng an elegant cigar,
io-norant of the fact that his property
in the country is burning up, with no
insurance.
Liberty loan workers form the third
line of defense, as important as t.ie
first, composed of men at the front,
and the second line, composed
of men in the camps; for the first
two lines will fail unless we at home
keep going to them a steady stream
of money and supplies. There are
only two ways for the Government to
raise the money for the war: first,
by taxation, and the largest tax bill
ever passed by any country will
shortly be passed by Congress; the
other way is by the people lending
their money by buying bonds. The
fourth Liberty loan is the largest
ever floated by any government. It
is apportioned in the fairest and most
just way, based upon bank resources.
North Carolina's part is $39,900,000,
only $15 per capita, while the appor
tionment of the nation at large is 4

Publish Names of Slackers.
Hearty applause greeted Mr. Law
renre's declaration that .he is in favor
of publishing the names of men who
are able to buy bonds and refuse to
buy. That, he said, will smoke them
out.
How to Sell Bonds.
First, appeal to patriotism. Can
we who remain at homo refuse to
buy bonds to the limit of our ability
when those whe, have gone to the
front have given up their business
prospects and are ready to offer their
lives? Every man ought to be will
ing to support a soldier, but the Gov
ernment does not ask that, it merely
asks us to lend it our money so it can
support bin, and it will pay us backan
Appeal to Self-interest.

You see, there is no guess work

there is nothing like it for all weak,

Does Your Life Work Mean
Anything to You?
You farmers who have worked hard and no one works
harder to get together your property, what does it mean to you?
Your property your farm and buildings, your crops, your
stock, your farm implements and, too, your home all ot these
represent years and years of work that you have done.
Everything that vou enjoy as the result of your work eomes
to you and stays with you because the heroic soldiers and sailors
of Uncle Sam arc standing between you and the bloodthirsty,
murderous Hun.
To keephe Hun away from you, Uncle Sam does not ask
you to GIVE even a single penny. He simply asks you to LEND
him your money atgood interest and he guarantees on his word
of honor a word that has never been broken to pay back
every penny you lend.
What is your answer?
Have you bought all the Liberty Bonds you possibly can?
