THE NORTH CAROLINA VETERANS

Veterans of the sixties are rapidly
passing in North Carolina and the a
triotic service they rendered in the
long ago will oon be but a memory.
In the breasts of those remaining the
spark of patriotism kindled more
than. half a century ago is still burn
ing brightly. 1t can only be extin-
guished with the going out of life it
self. Although the weight of years
bears heavily upon their enfeebIed
forms, the love of country has not
diminished in the slightest and nearly
every one of them would today line
up in battle array before the linden
burg lines, if their services were
needed and their physical abilities
permitted. Once they struggled for
what they considered the freedom Of
Dixie. Today they are sending their
sons to fight the battles of the great
est republic beneath the sun, and
thus assist in bringing freedom to the
world. Never have drawer men borne

THE RIGHT sORn OF A MAN.

Much has been written of Henry
Ford. He is an aggressive type of
man who always manages to keep
within the limelight. He is either
doing something of saying something
that is worthy to be mentioned in the
national press. He is always in the
composite eye of the country. But
after all, Henry Ford is the right
sort of a man. He is one of our most
eminent war citizens.
His first offer to the President was
the mechanical services of the work
men in his great plant. in any depart
ment in which they could serve the
best interests of the country
He now offers his entire plant. He
expresses a Witness to retire from
business for the period of the war and
permit the United States government

He will concentrate his Industrial
forces into the manufacture of trucks
airplanes or my other sort of mill
tary equipment that may be needed.

The Government of the United

er success than the first.
The Presidents proclamation sets

all employees of the federal govern
ment in all parts of the country, ex-
cept those whose services cannot be
dispensed with, to participate in the
celebrations.
The President says, in his procla-
nation:
"Let the result be so impressive
and emphatic, that it will echo
throughout the empire of our enemy
as an index of what America intends
to do to bring this war to a victor
ious conclusion"
The wage earners of the country
are urged in an appeal issued by Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson to do their
part in making the loan a success.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Once in awhil ca remark drops out
relative to loans made to the allies
by the United States and some folks
are apparently inclined to the opin-
ion that so much money should not
be sent abroad because We may need
ftat home. No cause for alarm about
needing the money this country loans
to the allies, for the greater portion
Of it is spent right here in America
for food, ammunition and war equip
ment generally. Very little of the
big loans the United States has made
to England, France. Russia, Belgium,
or any of our allies has eve gotten
out of the country. The farmers and
munition makers have been the recip-
tents of a large part Of it.
Investment in Liberty Loan bonds
is not only patriotic, but wise. These
bonds are nOn-taxable and the inter-
est is payable semi-annually. Be-
sides, you can "cash in" anytime af-
ter the price Of the bond is fully paid.
You cannot lose. Parents who
have children to educate have in the
chance to purchase these bonds a fine
