ply on intrastate shipments when IN

Prince Georges Daytime 9th,

Friday, June 2Sth, will be National
War Savings Day, and the President
will issue a PROCLAMATION upon the
necessity of subscribing to the Govern
ment's bonds. Thursday, June 9th,
will, in particular sense, be Prince
Georges County day, and every patrio
tic citizen, old and young, rich ano
poor, should gat&er at some place OF
meeting, and there, by word and deed,
pledge all to their Government to the
full extent of their ability. 1t may b.
the purchase of only a 25e thrift stamp
by a child or very poor person, or it
my be the pledging in monthly install
ments of the $500 and odd dollars
necessary to purchase the highest WaI
Savings Certificates of $1,000 maturity
value; but the unfavorable moral effecl
upon our enemies, and the inspiration
afforded to our soldiers and sailors
abroad by an entire community taking
action of this sort will be of inestim
able Importance.
Let pastors of all churches summon
their fiocks on one of the above days,
and in the midst of prayer receive their
subscriptions to the War Savings
securities. Let Masters of Grange.
and other fraternal organic atoms see
that the full membership of their orde, S
responds in fitting manner to the cal
of the Nation for money to fight for I
rightful peace. Let farmers, clubs,
school clubs, and social organizations OF
every character prove their worth by
meeting and either by cash or promise
subscribe to the bonds of our country
But do not wait for the meeting tt
take place. The noblest of all patriots
is he who, in obedience to his sense OF
duty, goes unsolicited to his bank OF
post office, and there invest what cash
he can spare, and leaves a pledge t.,
continue investing each month of tbs
year 1918. Every pastor, every posi-
office and bank, every rural mail carrie
and many other individuals and institU-
tons, have been provided with these
pledge cards.
On June 9th number of wonderful
orators, including Judges Heuisler and
Dawkins, Senator Prick and Hammond
Messrs. George A. Softer, Charles H
Carter, and Daniel r. Randall, viii
tour the county in all directions, speak
ing wherever gathering is arranged
The War Savings headquarters al
Marlboro will furnish speaker that
day, or, indeed, at any time tor those
who are sufficiently patriotic to take ;
part in this cause. A large war rail-
will be held in Marlboro at $50 in the
evening and also at Capitol Heights
Mt. Rainier, Hyattsville and Laurel.
So let US all get together on June q
and lend until it hurts; it will hurt the
enemy a great deal more, and all GU
wounds will be healed when our loan
