WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

Henry County is in round numbers
$233,00O behind in her quota of war
savings. The state headquarters is
urging that this deficit be pledged by
list. The war must be
won. 1t is being brought nearer to
us every day. Two splendid Henry
County boys were killed in action
within the past week. More of our
home boys are at the front and on the
way, to fight for our country. The
change in the draft age will take
away many more of our neighbors
and friends. Money is needed to
equip them, to make them comfor-
table and keep them so. Will you
lend all that you possibly can to help
"carry on?
There are thousands in this coun.
ty who can borrow at 5 per cent or
their insurance policies. The govern.
ment will pay you a IL per cent or
your War Savings. This will make
a difference of rs cents on the hun
dred dollars per year to you. Are
you in that much to back up the boys
who are in the trenches?
