When the children Of light rise up

always in the arm of each thece is the
strength of ten. Those noble crusad-
ers in Europe. crusaders IN the high
EST and nobiest cause that ever men
fought for, are teaching the Hun a
lesson. German efficiency! 1t is to
curl the lip. Uncle Sam trains men
in three months who can and do put
it all over the products of half
century Of intense German military
preparation Before Uncle Sam gets
through he is going to tear off the
German mask and reveal the grinning

The fourth Liberty Loan campaign
will be conducted during the three
weeks from September % to October
10. The shortened campaign reriod
three weeks instead Of four-makes
it necessary for every one to tighten
up and make it intense. At the recent
conference of Liberty Loan chairmen
in Raleigh, "A Bond in Every Home"
was unanimously adopted as the
campaign slogan. Every one should
interpret this to mean bond in every
hand in every home. During the last
campaign North Carolina made the
lowest score of any State in the Un-
ion in individual subscriptions COM
pared to population. This part Of the
record should be improved greatly in
this campaign. The success Of this
loan means support Of our boys in the
trenches. 1t will be message to
them that we are to be counted upon
to back them up in their fight. OF
course Robson county will subscribe
it's allotment and so send the boys
word that we are with them all the
way.

It is estimated that in dollars and
cents the total cost of the free dental
work dore in Robson during the two
months ending on the 2lst inst, II
done in private Offices, would naVe
amounted to S2,396.50. It vas done
free under the direction of the county
health department. Much of the work
would not have been done otherwise
and the benefits of the free clinics
cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents. The estimate only shows what
the work would have cost mad the
children been taken to private offices
AS result of that campaign hundreds
of children have been taught how to
care for their teeth properly, unsus-
pected defects have been remedied be-
fore they became serious enough tc
impair health, and hundreds of par
ents have had impressed upon them
as never before the Importance OF
having the teeth of their children ex-
am.aed at regular intervals. Thou

Mrs. R. P. Byrd, who lives on R. 2
from Fairmont, between Center and
Hog Swamp churches, came to Lun1-
berton the other day principally to
buy $25 worth of War Savings
stamps, and her example, considering
the circumstances. is peculiarly in
spring. Mrs. Byrd is So years old
and her husband is 70. They live
alone and her husband is not able to
do any work. By herself, emcloying
no labor except to do the plowing
and to help barn tobacco, Mrs. Byrd
raised crop, paid $500 on the home
place, and has money to invest in War
Savings stamps. She says she wants
to do anything she can to help win
the war. An example like that ought
to inspire some others Of us who per-
baps have been patting ourselves or
the back to move up a peg and in
vest more money in helping to wiz
the war.

WHAT'S THE MATTER7

In spite of all that has been done
and the appeals that have been made.
Robson county people do not seem
to be fully aroused as to their duty
in the matter of supporting the war.
The county is asked to take a million
dollars in War Savings stamps, and
up to date just over half million
dollars worth of stamps have been
pledged. That does not speak we'll
for the county. Two drives have been
conducted for the purpose of putting
the county over in War Savings
stamps pledges, but at the end of the
second drive the county had not gene
half way over. That is, it has not
unless reports from other townships
are much better than reports of the
townships 81 far received. Only six
townships have so far re-
ported the result Of the second drive.
and pledges from those townships in
the second drive do not to3al more
than $37,137. Lumberton township
subscribed in the second drive only
$23,5O2. Every day OR so we
read that some county has pledged
