The salary now Is |1,200 year ly Y Bold Sales Hatil » SatirdayNooiTe Cent to Oir Goal Several Bayers of $5,000 Bonds Needed; Also Many Other Sales Earn While Yoi Learn a Cratt With two days left In which to buy bonds In the 7th War Loan, Wilkes county has a good oppor tunity to reach the B bond quota of 1820)000 and thus keep the conhty’s record perfect In War Loan campaigns. W. D. Halfacre, War Loan chairman, reported this morning that the total of B bonds sold to date Is |2$6,100, which lacks $83,900 of reaching the $320,- 000 goal. Tl^ report shows a substantial increase over the figures publish ed a week ago. Some part of the Increase was due to the fact that the Federal Reserve system ha,s given the county credit for pur chases of bonds by Wilkes men In service. The fact that the men who face the dangers In this war are also buying bonds should act as an incentive to the people back home, in comparative safety and comfort, to get busy and fin ish ont the county’s quota. The total now shows the county definitely has a good chance jo keep its record clear. A number of purchases of $5,000 bonds at $3,750 each are needed, as well as purchases by all people who can buy any size E bond from $18.75 up. All bond sales reports post marked not later than Saturday, July 7, will count on the quota. Banks here will close Saturday noon and an earnest appeal is made to buy E bonds before that time In order that they may be counted toward reaching the quo- . llia .record Wilkes haA'te W|^ Loan drives is something the peo ple of the connty can be Jnetly proud of, and a moat argent ap peal la made now to maintain that perfect record by purchasing E bonds before Saturday noon.
