DEDICATE SERVICE AND MONEY

DEDICATE SERVICE AND MONEY
1t has been suggested by the Treas
ury Department that June 9Th, the
day upon which by proclamation of
the President the young manhood
of the nation will register for selec-
tive draft into the service of the
country, be set aside as the day upon
which special appeal will be made
to all the people of the fifth Federal
Reserve district for the dedication
of service and money to the call of
the nation made through the Liberty
loan. 1t is desired that the day shall
be the occasion of a grand Liberty
Loan rally throughout the district.
Saturday, June End, and Sunday,
June 3rd, have been set aside by the
Liberty Loan department as Liberty
Loan Sabbaths throughout the coun-
try. Preachers will be asked to call
special attention to this method of
helping to win the war.
Every agency that the government
can enlist is being used to arouse
the people of this country to the i'm
portance of oversubscribing the Lib
crty loan. People of Lumberton and
Robson county are as patriotic as
any PcVPlC vi cdi I'll, UuG Iu0y seem
slow to realize the Importance of
helping the government at this time
IN this way. They also serve their
country who buy Liberty loan bond.
These bonds may appreciate in value
and you may get more than the 3
IL per cent interest guaranteed now.
But no man or woman who is worth
killing would stand back on that, if
he or she has money that, can be used
IN this way. 1t is the safest invest
ment in the world and it does not
mean that you are tying that mon
ey up where you cannot get it. Any
bank will take it at it's face value
any time.
1t is mighty easy to decorate with
flags and to impress cheap souls by
boasting of what you would do if
SO and Scanning certain impossible
conditions-were so. But it would
be more to the purpose to use your
idle money in buying Liberty bond.
President Wilson says: "There is not
a single selfish element in the cause
We are fighting for. The
supreme test of the nation has come.
We must all speak, act and serve to-
gether."

The object of the maneuver has
