War Savings Stamps.
At no time during the present

At no time during the present
generation has there been so
many, and such attractive, chan
ces to make money" as just
now; and the fellow that lets
these opportunities slip, may have
to wait a long time before they
come again. Outside of the fact
that it is a patriotic duty to not
spend your money foolishly, but
lend it to the Government, there
is no more attractive form of do
ing this than in buying War
Savings Stamps. During this
month you give Uncle Sam four
dollars and sixteen cents, and
four years from the first day of
next January, your Uncle will
hand you a brand new five dollar
bill. What's the matter with a
deal like that?
That the people of Fulton Coun
ty are onto the job, is shown by
the following statement which
gives the maturity value of the
Stamps sold at the post offices in
this county up to and including
May 4th., a sum totaling more
than $25, 100000. Those post Of
fees in the County that are not
listed, have not warmed up to
the occasion. The printing Of
this list will be repeated. Watch

tribution of one hundred mill
lion dollars for 1918 to enable
them to carry on the great work
of caring for our sick and wound
ed soldiers in the hoSpital both
at home and over in France, and
wherever the services of trained
nurses are needed. A great part
of their work is the caring for
the women and children of Bel
GUM, NorthernFrance and Italy,
who have been driven from their
homes and are now refugees in
Southern France.
This is a national organization
President Wilson is President
of this association, and its funds
are controlled by a War Council
appointed by the President; hence
all the money contributed, goes
directly to this War Relief Fund.
Fulton County's Quota is $lO.-
100000, The Campaign Commit
tee appointed to raise this sum
will make a thorough canvass Of
the County, and will give every
one an opportunity to give what
they can.
Fulton County is sending its
quota of men to the training
Camps-a number of our young
men having volunteered. Some
are in the army; some in the ma
Wy, and some, in the aviation
service. A number of our boys
are already in France.
We appeal to you, men and
women of Fulton County, to sup
port this Red Cross work to the
limit of your ability.
Thousands of Red Cross nurses
are helping to care for our boys
in the hospitals and in the can
teen service. Wherever help is
needed, they are ready to re-
spond. They are saving the lives
Of thousands of women and chill
dren.
How many of Fulton County's
prosperous farmers and business
men will give $4,000?
How many 5000!
How many $500!
How many 10.0Oi
How many 500!
Every one can give something,
and should consider it a privilege
to give what they can.
The citizen of Fulton County
have always done their duty in
every emergency. We know
you will respond to this appeal.
While we are living in comfort
and safety, our boys over in
France are risking their lives in
order to protect US and our prop.

is the time to show our boys that
we at home are standing back OF

all that we can to make them as
comfortable as possible. During

Various, inquiries have hecn made
for the purpose of ascertaining

M'VEY URGES
MILITARY WORK
Explains Need of Training
in Schools-Report by
Miss Dougherty.

The powerful address on "Military
Training in the Schools" given at the
Roosevelt school under the auspices
Of the Parent-Teachers' association
last evening by Colonel Charles II.
McVey, deeply impressed all who
heard him. Discussing the subject
from the military and civilian stand
! point, Colonel Mcvey told Of the eff
feet that such training would have
on the spirit of democracy. and of
the need of such training from a mill
itary view.
Colonel McVey told some interest
ing. facts from former wars which
are not, usually mentioned in histor-
les. He said that while there were
army, Washington had at no time an
army of over 10000 because of the
system of organization. h men were
allowed to come and 90 at will and
as a consequence a war which could
have been cleaned up in half the
time. took seven years. In the war
of 1879 the United States won Just
two battles. one Of which. the battle
Of New Orleans. was fought after
peace had been declared.
The colonel said hat there was no
danger of Il militaristic feeling get
ting hold of our people, because the
spirit of democracy is the spirit OF
our people, and the matter would be
handled in a democratic manner.
Plan Is Outlined.
The plan given by Colonel McEey
was that in the fifth year in school
about 20 minutes a day are to be
spent in simple drilling, the time OF
the work increasing with the adj
vancement of the pupil. until when
in the high school about three hours
a week could be given to this training
with the aid of lectures. With the
men Of the nation trained in this
manner, an army of from five to sew
en- million men could be placed in
the field properly equipped in three
months.
Colonel McVey wound up his speech
with an outline of the need at this
time for an efficient military system.
An interesting feature Of the meet
work done by the school. by Miss
Dougherty. This report will be pub
lisned in full later on with the gen.
eral report of the work done by the
school. In his Miss D%ougherty said
that every teacher in the school was
a member OF the Red Cross and
owned a Liberty bond. The school
literally bought thrift stamps ana
Christmas seals. A number Of knitted
articles have been turned in by the
children and practically every form,
OF patriotic work has been support
ad. In addition to this. a junior Red
Cross has been organized n has
done fine work.
During the evening Miss Whitcher
led in community singing. the fifth
grade sung several songs and Donald
| Willard sang Flag of Mine" in a
rich clear voice.
