We wish to call your attention to the
necessity of contributing your bit to
the Nation by subscribing literally to
the War Savings Certificate Stamps
and for the convenience of all We have
arranged a club plan for the purchase
OF these stamps.
We feel confident that the citizens of
this county will DO their part in this as
in all other emergencies that have arls-
en-, but urge upon you the necessity OF
buying these securities now as delay
may mean the prolongation of the war
and even defeat for world democracy.
Therefore, we are appealing to you
to take your stand on this question and
uphold the reputation which we have in
the past enjoyed of being in the front
ranks of the country when it comes to
a question of sacrifice and patriotism,
for in the words of our President, we
must either cooperate or obstruct.
We have organized clubs of the fol-
lowing description.
Fifty Dollar Clubs

Five Hundred Dollar Clubs
One Thousand Dollar Clubs

the Office of the Prince Georges Coun-
tv Enquirer, Marlboro Gazette, or to
the Headquarters of the War Savings
Stamps Campaign, Upper Marlboro,
Nd
Those of US who are at home and en-
joying the comforts therein should no,
forget our boys who are on foreign soil
struggling to overcome forces of the
Kaiser, representing Autocracy, Mill
tarism, World Power, Oppression, etc.
To buy War Savings Stamps means
to tighten the hardships our soldiers
must endure and also to cheer them on,
for knowing that those behind are unit
ed in their determination to win this
war and are making sacrifices in every
way, will certainly be comfort to our
boys on the other side.
In order to raise 1914, 100 in tn.
county, it will be necessary for persons
of large means to invest their money il.
War Savings Stamps.
We want to impress upon our peopl
to buy stamps in the county postoffices

stamps in Washington or Baltimore.

forty-one and including three women
and five children, escaped amid the
shell fire in life beats Several were
