THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED FOR
WORK ENDING FRIDAY, JUNE %

Committee = CanVassers Named
to Make House to House Visit.
Smyrna and vicinity is in the midst
of an active War Saving Stamps Drive
this week and Friday evening a public
meeting under the auspices of the
officers of the school district will be
held in the Smyrna Opera House at
which short addresses will be made.
Everybody is not only urged to be
present but are expected to attend.
AS Secretary McAdoo- says in his
appeal: Americas sons are already
in France where the bloodiest attacks
of all history are raging. They are
suffering and dying for us at home.
They are giving their lives freely and
heroically to save America and liber-
ties of mankind. They need food,
clothing and arms. Everyone who
buys War Savings Stamps or signs a
pledge to save and buy these stamps
helps himself and helps directly ev-
cry American hero in France. Isn't
this the least each patriot can do
to enable our gallant boys to fight
victoriously or to die gloriously in the
cause of humanity and liberty? Let
no one who genuinely loves America
and wants to serve fail to enlist in
the great army of war savers during
the period ending June %, 1918"
Every School District Well Organized
Workers in Smyrna as we'll as in
other parts of Delaware have organ
lied thoroughly and every household
has been given full information about
the importance of the drive. Each
person is expected to invest in these
Government stamps and those who can
afford to do so are expected to pur-
chase uD to the limit of $1,000 al.
lowed by law. Every agency for the
sale of stamps, every bank and every
postoffice has been advised to keep on
hand large supply of the War Saw
ings Stamps to meet the demand
which has already begun. These
pledge cards are being thoroughly dis
tributed. You can sign your pledge
now and pay any time before Decem-
ber 81. Friday is to be pledge day
when the campaign will reach a eli.
max with meetings in every school
house in the country.
