(An Editorial)
Opening Of the Foui th War Bond
Drive —Stokes Quota $lOO,OOO
The campaign for the sale of Fourteen
Thousand Million Dollars in War Bonds
has opened.
The quota set for Stokes county is
$lOO,OOO.
The county campaign opened here to
day when 100 leading Stokes county
men and women met in the court house
and pledged their efforts to raise our
quota.
Chairman C. E. Davis of the war bond
committee had called the meeting.
There was spontaneous and enthusias
tic response.
Present at the meeting were the prin
cipals of the county's schools, whose or
ganization is the nucleus around which
the successful campaign starts and
which cannot fail to succeed.
Chairman Davis, Superintendent of
Schools J. C. Carson, Paul Fulton, W. F.
Marshall, N. F. Christian, Tom Preston,
Miss Grace Taylor, many others men
and women—too numerous to be men
tioned in this editorial, spoke and assur
ed that Stokes will do her part to back
the attack.
Every man, woman and child is expect
ed to do their part and their best.
Every dollar put in war bonds now will
mean that much more money you will
have to spend when the boys come home.
Any one needing their money sooner,
can cash the bonds at their face value.
Those who have purchased heretofore
in stinted quantities will be expected to
show their patriotism by investing all
that can be spared.
The investment is the most desirable
in the money markets of the world. It
bears exactly the same safety as the
cash in your pocket.
T n the years to come when the war is
over, the bond buyers of Stokes will be
prosperous and happy over their invest
ment.
Now when the boys are doing- their
whole best and many of them making
the supreme sacrifice on the battlefields
of air, sea and land BACK THEM
WITH YOUR MONEY.
THEY ARE BACKING YOU WITH
THEIR LIVES!
Buy now and buy to the limit of your
ability.
Buy from postoffice, bank or other
sales agency in your county so that your
county can get credit for your buy.
The 100,000 must be raised—lT WILL
BE RAISED.
