Cognac fought the hoche with the Seventy-first Artillery. Although he is little more than a puppy, he hasn't got
ten over his hatred of his pals' foe. He was in the service for seven months, never missed a drill, went out ami
found the wounded and generally endeared himself to the artillerymen. In appreciation of his services and de
votion they branded him with a service stripe on the left foreleg. He was brought to this country by Private Sey
mour Samuels, who through Jess Dandy, presented him to the Friars Club, of which he is the ollicial mascot. Cog
nac (the Friars are going to call him Grape Juice after.. June : hutcs a German helmet so much that he has
broken several teeth trying to annihilate one. This hatred is to be turned to account during the Victory Loan
campaign. Cognac's battles with hun helmets are to lie staged on speakers' stands all over New York City. When

CONCORD LAGGING IN
THE VICTORY DRIVE
Much Work Is Yet To Be Done If the
Drive Is To Be Success in Cabarrus
County.
Little progress has been made in
Concord in the Victory Loan Cam
paign. More interest must he shown
toth In the city and county, and many
more bonds, must be sold if Cabarrus
is to "go over the top" again. Con
cord, and this county, have but $2Htt,-
2.10 to subscribe in the Victory Loan if
the splendid records of things ac
complished is to he maintained.
It is felt that the great celebration
of Tuesday will he an incentive to
the people to work longer and harder
for the loan, but too much dependence
cannot he put on the enthusiasm of
the people that day if Hie campaign
s to be successful. Chadrmau Caleb
XV. Swlidr issues ail urgent appeal to
the people of the city and county to
get bnsy and put the loan over the
op. Our people have never failed in
the bond work, and We cannot afford
to "lay down" on our Government in
this, the last and most important of
ail the popular loan campaigns. This
loan has lieen put up to the people as
a means of celebrating our Victory.
Don't make it merely a celebration of
hat raising and flag waving. Show
your appreciation of the great fight of
our army by buying the bonds.
The workers are doing their utmost
to arouse interest in the city and coun
ty but It is evident that the public is
not giving Niem the proper encour
agement and endorsement. We have
got to wake up, and wake up quick, if
the loan in Cabarrus is to he success
ful. ,
Those In charge of the campaign
here are not pessimistic over the final
outcome however, for they feel that
the people of this city and county will
do all in their power to maintain the
good reputation they made for them
selves in the other four campaigns. The
county committee Is mapping out a
systematic campaign, and it is thought
our pro-rata will he easily oversub
scribed when the plans are put into
effect.
Itut It is the duty of all to take part
In this drive. It is your bond 4s much
as any one. Let the people get busy
and make the campaign a success be
fore the time expires May 10th.
