Where Do You Stand

our boys to win this war, or are YOU
helping the Kaiser and his bandits
to crush down civilization F?
Let that sink in right deep and
then answer the question. There is
POSITIVELY no ha'f way ground
in this thing. You are on one side
or the other, and before it is over
Uncle Sam and our soldier boys who
have left their homes and loved ones
and are facing the hardships and
dangers to do the fighting for you
across the sea, are going to know
Just exactly where you stood during
this great war of brutality against
civilization.
Ii you are contributing to our
government literally in proportion
to your worth Ito him that much
has been given much shall be re-
quired) by buying Liberty Bonds
and Thrift Stamys, and contributing
to the humanity side of it by help
ing the Red Cross, you are helping
Uncle Sam and our boys, if you are
not you are, by your silence and
non-assistance, helping the Kaiser
and his bandits. (''If you are not
for me you are againstme. Where
your money is there your heart Is
also.")
Let's not have a Stacker in Tish-
omingo County, but let us all come
forward and contribute something,
whatever we can afford, and stand
solidly behind our boys, We have,
and ought to have great confidence
in them, and know that they will
do their part, when the time comes,
and if our Tishomingo boys don't
get the Kaiser's scalp themselves,
they will be close enough when 1t is
taken to see it we'll done, and can
tell us all about it when they return.
So, inasmuch as Tishomingo coun-
ty has contributed its pro rata share
for Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps,
and Red Cross, up to the present
time, and will continue to go over
the top every time she is called up
on until the end of the war, and IN
order to place the credit where 1t
belongs, | move that the patriotic
citizens of the county have a list
gotten up of the names OF the par
ties that are contributing to the
cause and the total amounts con-
tributed opposite their names, and
that this list be printed by July 1st
and a copy of same mailed to the
Captain of each company that has
any of the boys from this county in
it, so that they can see. while they
are in the service, just who back
home is supporting them and to
what extent also that copy OF
this list be sent to the proper otfi-
cial of the Government, so that ii 1t
is ever necessary to get up a Stacker
list for this county it will assist him
in giving the ones on this list the
Passover" Twill contribute $500
to fund to apply on the expense
of getting up such list. Do | get
a second? Speak out.
Now, be mindful, when our boys
come marching back victorious, if
you have not contributed to the ex-
penses of the war and rendered what
assistance you could to them while
they were over there fighting for
YOU, don't offer to shake hands with
them or congratulate them, for they
will know where you stood during
the struggle, like an open book, and
will say depart from me, YOU
Stacker" / never knew you.
God grant that we may not have
a single Stacker in the county at the
end of this greet struggle, but that
we may be able to meet the boys
with a clear conscience, in solid
band of patriotic citizens, and say,
Well done, thou good and faithful
servants" Tishomingo county stood
solidly by you, for you and with
you through it all /; accept NOW
our UNEXPRESSIBLE CON.
CALCULATIONS for your HE.
ROIC service, for which we can
NEVER NEVER repay you but
ask what you will, and out of the
abundance of our hearts it shall be
given.
You hear the question asked al.
most every day, "Will we win thi
