THE SLACKER Throughout North Carolina and the nation sentiment toward the slacker is crystaiuing and ti.e hue linger of scoru cud conteini't is scare uing iiim out. Tin i e iu-e several varietira of slacker.-. Here are some of them: Tie service slacker the man who should be in the ranks nnd is not. The labor slacker (he man who is able t j Work and doesn't. The food slacker the ma'e or female hug who refuses to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our Allies for those foodstuffs which may be exported. The financial slacker the individual who can but does not buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps. Slacking at home means more blood spilled by true blue American boys in France. Slacking in America means starvation for innocent women and children in England, France ami Italy. Slacking at home is a menace to the sneer uf the American, British and French anus in France. THE SLACKER'S REWAHD The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America will not foiuive slicking. The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come in he will be more and more scorned am"', hated by decent citizens. After the war is over he will be an object of contempt. lie will be without the regard of decent pooile in his community. His children and bis children's children after him will pay a bitter price for his disloyalty For his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by humanity. Inexorable fate is Belting him apart and he will not escape. Every Bushel Saved Now Will Supply a Soldier with Bread Until Next Harvest.

Now U The Zul Chance Far Enlisting 1 Smce the Uginnin of the drive fur .Vii recruits from N'.n-iii Camii.ui, the Navy Re cruiting Station nt Raleigh has i ! t away over a hundred men. Ensign Sleiten in charge, is a ixious t i secure the remaining four hundred as earlv as possi ble X.iA is the lest chance for en iistimr. The selective service is hem.,' extended to cover all men v. ho have j ist reached twenty one, and after June ath it is go ing to be hard to obtain a permit from the local hoards to enlist. Ensign Skelton says: "The young man who desires to enter the service of his coun try voluntarily must act (juickly. Tlie Navy offers to the young r.ar. now facing registration an exivih-nt opportunity and a good chance fer promotion. The Navy t i-day b is need of men from almost every calling Electri cal, s.

Our hugi army of millions will he useless if the Navy fails in its d i v - fails to keep the sens clear for the transportation of men and materials across the Ulantic. If our Navy meets de f 'at then American Independence will i,o no more. The American Xacy ii'.ust stand between American homes and German despotism.
