' la England they say, "Every ahili
Inst wasted iUba a soldier In the
back." . v .." ' .
' Your part In the war is to pro-
' due as much as possible, consume
as little as necessary, and loan your
savings to the Government. Are you
facing your tank as cheerfully as our
m n face theirs
He is a poor sort of a patriot who
cannot find some way to economize
in order that he may buy War Sav
ings Stamps, and in so doing give
the Government more money, labor
and materials with which to fight
the war.
If you actually knew that by buy
ing only those things you absolutely
needed and by putting your savings
into War Savings Stamps you could
save lives, would you do it? Take)
the word of the President that you
do save lives when you do this.
Some one has said: "If one of our
boys hesitated as long in going over
the top as some people do in buying
Liberty Bonds or War Savings
Stamira, he would be court-martial'
i and shot for cowardice. And if
lie same punishment were meted
out to noncombatant.s for financial
cowardice an awful lot of people
would be shot at dawn."
Miss Carrie Underwood, of Bailey
visited relatives In this community
last Sunday. , '
Miss Hattie Deans is spending
some time visiting friends la and
near Baileys. .
Mr. Roy Cooper returned home
last week from Camp Jackson
where he has been for some time.
Mrs. Ora Cooper and Miss Bettie
Boone, of near Elm City, visited
friends in this section last Sunday.'
The "Stork" visited the home of
Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Cooper a few
evenings ago and left them a fine
little son.
There is to be another ice cream
supper at Elm Grove for the benefit
of the Elm Grove-Dean Red Cross
Auxiliary on Tuesday night, July
9th. Further notice will be given
concerning this. '
Mr. J. B. Rose and brother motor
ed over to Camp Jackson last Friday
to see their brother, Mr. Charlie
Rose. They report a fine trip and
everything with a business-like hum
around the camp, where the boys
are being put tnrougn tnorougn
training for active military duty.
There was an ice cream supper
given at the Dean School building
on Saturday evening. June 22nd,
for the benefit of the Elm Grove-
Dean Red Cross Auxiliary. With
the co-operation of the people of
both communities the occasion prov
ed a great success. The total sum
realised was $24.58. This was just
a beginning, and we hope by the
efforts of this great organization,
.several hundred dollar may be rais
ed to help the boys "over there."

THE FIRST AUSTRIAN OFFINtlVI
. HAS ENDED IN COMPLETE

110,000 Men and Additional Heavy
Casualties Expected. -
What Have You Given Up?
We expect, aa a matter of course,
thnt our soldiers and sailors will do
as thev 5re ordered. We oftentimes
rio not think it necessary to do what
ou' Government asks us to do. Why
should we not be just as prompt In
our response? Our men are ordered
to expose themselves to the guns of
the Huns. We are asked onlt to
save and to loan our savings td the
Government. Can we refuse this
request?
Prof. T. N. Carver, of Harvard
University, says: Anyone who, in
these days of impending1 doom, buys
anything which he does not need for
his health, strength, or efficiency is
hiring some one to do something
which is unnecessary. He is hiring
some one to stay out of the essential
industries. He is competing with
the Government for materials and
man power which it needs to win the
war and preserve the liberties of
mankind."
If the man of wealth thinks that
War Savings Stamps and their mean
ing are not for him he is mistaken.
It is true he can buy only $1,000 of
thetn, but he is more able than most
folks to accept the philosophy of the
stamp.. That philosophy is, Save!
Save! Save! Julius Rosenwald says:
"That man financially able to
Quite himself in luxuries during
war time has the least excuse for
doing so."
Have you given up your job and
et your business future take eare of
itself?
Have you said good-hye to your
family and friends and all you hold
dear?
Have you begun an entirely new
career that may end, if you live,
with health jmpared, an arm off, a
leg gone, an eye 6Utf
Have you given up your business
future and said good-bye and taken
a chance pft coming back alive and
well, and done H nil with a cheerful
heart and with a grju tfgtermina
tion to do all you possibly can Cor
your country?
And do you only at times in the
evenings, pernaps, wnen ina ugnt in
the sky slowly fades away- feel so
homesick and so lonesome that you
are fearful you will not have the
courage to do your part after all?
You have not done these things?
Ah, I see, you are not one of our
Army or Nvf boys; you are a stay-
at-home persoq.
Well, there haye to be gO or more j
stay-at-home persons for eyeyone
who goes, and so certainly no dis
grace attaches to being one if you
fully appreciate what those boys
who do go have to give up and
you support them to the limit of
your ability.
National War Savings Day is June
28. That day gives you the oppor
tunity of showing in a practical way
that you do appreciate what
means to the boys who go. Pledge
yourself on or before that day to
save to the utmost of your ability
and to buy War Savings Stamps
that there may be more money,
labor, and materials to back up
those who fight and die for you.

There are doubtless some who do not
understand what this struggle really Is
Some who were born here resent Inter
fereece with their
comrort aad pros
perity and the de
mands for sacri
fice, which seem
them unnecessary,
and they fall to see
that the time has
tint when, I
'J 1 keen the IndeDend-
encp and liberty
which their fathers
won by suffering
and sacrifice, they
la their torn must
't---w ' -illy mt "'" for
Ellhu Root tk,t lhdependence
and liberty.
There are some bora abroad who
have come te this land for a greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the prirl
leges of American dtlseashlp who are
swayed by 'dislike for seme ally or by
the sympathies ef Oermaa kinship and
fsll to see that the time has come for
them, ta make good' tbe eblLratloaa of
their sworn oaths of naturalisation.
This ta the bath that the applicant
for dttaenshlp makes:
That ht will support the Constitu
tion of the Catted States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance aad fidelity to any foreign
prince, potentate or sovereignty that
he will support and defend the Consti
tution and laws ef the United States
against all enemies, foreign snd d
meetle, and bear true faith aad alle
giance te the same.
