Which do you preretT What does common sense suggest? One of two things will happen. You will invest or pay taxes to support this war. Don't be a slacker. The times are critical. Men are called to service. Slackers will be known, marked and scorned, now and hereafter. You can slack In evading the draft to military service. oi can slack in evading the call to investment service. There is no difference in moral turpi tude. The financial slacker. If any, is lower in the rcale of evasion. Don't whimper or whine about it. Stand to the rack. There Is fodder there for the Investor; none lor the sailor or soldiers. You are called upon so often to give! Yes. You are called to sub scribe to the Red Cross! Yea. You are called to subscribe to the Young Men's Christian Association Welfare work! Yes. You are called to give or subscribe to other warlike purpos es! Yes. And you may be called and recalled, and called again; perhaps, to your uttermost farthing. Must It take the roar of cannon the flare of explosive shells to awaken you to action? Suppose you do subscribe often! What then? You have not been call ed from protected home to battlefield, chucked Into mud trenches, driven in bavonet charge, 'mid hell's inferno of shot, shell and poisonous gas, return ed with mutilated body or dead on a soldier's bier! The soldier and sailor is called to that fate and. with cheer ful eouraire and Intrepid daring, will meet the ordeal. If he falter, he Is called a coward. You are ore-occuoled In your daily avocation; thinking In the usual terms of personal interest; practicing the preparedness of looking out for number one; perhaps, making surplus money: at least, having an income. living, three meals a day, comforta bly dressed, well housed, enjoying so cial environment and business oppor tunity, secure and protected, with the battle front, across the seas, three thousand miles away. Your country calls you to service and to sacrifice. Heed you the call? Turn away from your self-centred, habitual exclusiveness and look to the dawn of brotherhood service. Con serve, in business, in home, and econ omize personal expense. Give what States. We must thoroughly organ- . Ue the nation by the lesson of thrift and invest in these certificates. It is up to the American people and to the people of North Carolina. Nothing must prevent the winning of this war. Humanity must rt cease, our liberties must not suffer. ' Our resources If mobilized, will win the war. No one has the moral right to spend his money as he please when the liberties ot his country are threatened. "Modern War," said Mr. Frank A. Vanderllp, the great banker, is 75 per cent industrial effort. Money is the motive power of the armies, for with out mbney armies cannot be trained. transported, mutloned, or red." Ev ery one can save and invest a littl?. Every little helps. Do your part, o:g or little. Waste and delay costs lives. You don't want your country beaten in this war, do you? You don't want It subjected to a dishonorable peace, do you? Then arouse your self to action, not tomorrow, but to day, in support of the government. Hundreds of thousands of Ameri can men of property are giving nob'y and lending freely of their means in response to the counuy s call bear ing cheerfully, too, .he burden or heavy war taxe3. They are patriots. Let us hope all American citizens. both of large and small means, will be equally as generous when they awake to a full realization or tne.r country's peril and their country's needs In this world-wide war of hor ror, desolation and human slaughter. The red blood In the manhood of these mountains, hills, valleys and costal plains of the old North State will viialize the spirit or patriotism and, as In the days of the Revolu tion, will quicken our people to sup port by blood and treasure those who are called to lead and direct the na tion In Its civil, naval and military undertaking and tn Its present gre.it warlike enterprise.
