Salem Organized
To Do Her Bit By
Insurance Company

...-
That evely red blooded American
citizen in this city is determined that
Salem shall edo her bit by subscrib.
ing to the fullest measure to her share
of the liberty bonds is foregone con-
clusion. There is no lack of patriotism
in this city as has been demonstrated
in many ways. But there has been a
conspicuous lack of concerted effort
and leadership. AT a meeting OF the
Commercial club a letter from j. +.
Trevorrow, superintendent of the Met
ropolitan Life was read in which he
said:
'In the past few weeks there has
been much waving OF the flag and
other demonstrations of emotional, al
though not practical patriotism. "a
rades have been held throughout the
country without number. Speeches have
been made in flowery flight OF ora
tory and many men of ninety six years
of age (more or less, but always more
than 31 have volunteered their phys
Iical liabilities. Not to disparage these
earnest and praiseworthy acts it VIII
readily appeal to you practical business
men that with the selective draft
ready to supply an abundance of young
men, the imperative need of Uncle
Sam at the present time is cash:
&C for community and concentration
of effort:
"A for activity and not hot air;
rs for a smashing campaign; and
"H for that which we all love, Am
erica Is honor.
| eff the liberty bond is over sub
scribed in wonderful proportions al
was the case in the Spanish war, II
will tend to end the war. 1t 1t is undel
subscribed it will undoubtedly meal
the unnecessary shedding of much Am
Ieriean blood" ~,
The committee was reorganized Will
David w. Eyre, vice president OF Tn,
In s. National bank as chairman, ant
with Mr.. Trevorrow as secretary. Thes'
Igentlemen request suggestions OF an.
kind and that all those who feel tn
call of patriotism and are wiling !,
sacrifice a little time for old unci
Sam during the next three days VII
volunteer. The boy scouts are OUT i
force distributing circulars and the en-
fire sales force of the Metropolltal
have donated their full time for nous
Ito house solicitation. As one Duslnes
imam sut it, "We have all intended
isubscribe, but it has been the easles
thing on earth to put it off. - Wit
! only three more days left, 1t is nag
time to decide on the amount that on
can invest and to see to 1t that IN
subscription is placed.
