Unless real citizens of the
county are made managers cf
financial 'campaigns -being
conducted here citizens ought
' to protest if not refuseto make
subscriptions to such. Salis
bury and Rowan have plenty
of capable citizens to attend
to these matters and we don't
want it said that recent im
ports had to manage these
affairs or drive us to our
duty. If there is glory in it,
let's take what belongs to us.
Rowan's quota for War
Savings Stamps is $825,460,
she has pledged 64 percent of
this and purchased up to
July 1st, 1190,570 worth. So
there is yet much to be done
and a winduD drive 'will be
conducted next week for the
purpose of putting the coun
ty over the top. This is the
easiest method of purchasing
desirable government securi
ties and it seems to us, should
have been oversubcribed
with little effort. Buy War
S a v iiv i n g s Stamps and
back up all other good
things.

Where does your county stand?
j Was it one to raise its quota of War
bavings pledges? Has it received its
War Savings honor flag, which signi
fies that it has answered nobly the
call of its Government and can be
counted on at every call? If not, why
not? Are you satisfied with your
county's record? Did you do your
part in signing the pledge and giving
your services to make your county
So over in the drive?
Another opportunity is going to be
glyen your county and you to say
what you will do. . Those who did too
little or pledged amounts too small
will be given a chance to save their
record. Many who have reconsidered
since they were called on weeks ago
will want to make their pledges larger
and their services more liberal and
willing. Many since that time have
come to knew the good investment
that War ' Savings Stamps offer and
they are willing to pledge themselves
to save more that they may invest
more in the best securities on earth.
Again, as a result of the drive, many
people have come to realize for the
first time that they owe, their country
a "debt of gratitude and service. They
Will seek this opportnity to pay this
debt. '
No individual, no township, no coun
ty can afford not to pay it. None of
these can afford not; to invest to the
utmost in War Savings Stamps, as a
mere selfish means of protection after
the war. Then will money be scarce,
labor cheap, and prices high. The
county or the individual that has
made no provision for the future will
be more than unfortunate. The poor
est county as well as the poorest in
dividual after the war will be that one
who made the least effort to buy its
full quota of War Savings Stamps
and other securities offered by the
Government. Poor indeed will be the
man or county that will have no rec
ord of having served his country to
the point "of sacrifice that it might win
the war, when all the history of the
war shall have been written.
IT'S UP TO YOU AND ME.
"You and 1 have got to win this
war. Net the other fellow but you
and I. Those of us who are back of
the fighting lines must remember
that this is where 75 per cent of our
country's fighting efficiency must b
developed. Every man, woman and
child of us can fight here, and if we
win our fight at home our soldiers will
win theirs in France Save wisely,
not miserly, and invest in Thrift and
War-Sarinss Stamp and yoii are serv
ing: your country in one way that is
ffecHY."
EVEN SO.
You are too busy, you say, to jet
oat - and help your - county raise itt
quota of War Savings Stamps. &
are the boys in France busy, very
busy busy day and night keeping
back the HuA and saving our homes,
farms and factories from the fate tkat
Belgium met.
You are too tired, you say, to solicit
"pledges or to remind those who
pledged to buy.
So are the boys in France tired, very
tired, tired of fighting bv dav and
keeping watch by night that America
and her homes may be safe from Hun
atrocities. So nigh to exhaustion the
ooys may be, but the prospect of a
restful night to them is onlv anothar
night of anxious waiting to go ."over
the top," and perhaps into thm 1aw'
of death in the morning.
It is not convenient, vou sav fm-
you to buy War Savings Stamps at
this time, or give your services to the
War Savings cause.
Even s it was not convenient
the boys to leave their homes, farms
ana lactones, their wives, mothers
ana sweethearts, everybody an
everything that was near and dear to
them, to go to France to save de-
tenceless women and children. It was
not convenient for the United States
that Germany should sin the Lusi
tania in 1915, or the Carolina the oth
3r day. Germany does not wait for
conveniences.
You have no money to spare you
say, for War Savings Stamps.
Nor have the boys over there any
blood to spare. Yet bravely and un
complainingly they are giving thplr
vuiuvazo tnem it is. as precious
is your money is to you. to save
rour country from a German invasion,
The little you can do, you say. will
not count.
. The bullet of one of the boys at the
front may not count against mil
lion Germans, but it will count against
one. A million bullets will be suffi
cient for a million Germans. One
War Savings Stamps may buy a hun
dred bullets or a pair cf shoes for a
soldier, but if North Carolina does her
part in raising her fifty million dol
ars of War Savings Stamps, her soi
diers will not lack for whatever the?
Jf every Norttl Carolinian
should buy all the War Savings
Stamps he is able to pay for durtaf
the remainder of the year our sol
diers would not be so long matin
their trip to Berlin. .
Every cent selfishly, thoughtlessly
spent, robs our soldiers, robs our own
futur. Every cent natriotiftaiw iM
