In every small division of this coun-
ty there is stir and a movement and
an awakening of patriotic zeal. An
army is being prepared and trained;
each division has its commander, and
each company it's captain, and each
captain his lieutenants. Under the
power of the will-to-win, and under
the inspiration of a God-approved-
cause, this army is pressing forward
against the enemy of God and man
kind. The colors they bear are the
star spangled red, white and blue.
Let every citizen-soldier do his duty,
and may there be not one yellow
tainted.
The Assistant County Chairman,
as everyone knows, is Mrs. George
Montgomery; and there are five Vice
chairmen, being, Mrs. T. M. Brumby,
Jr., for the Marietta District; Mr..
G. C. Green of Smyrna having charge

Wolf of Powder Springs being in
charge of that District and Austell,

Mr.. Joe Abbott of Marietta is look
ing out for Acworth, Big Shanty, Red
Rock, and Orange Districts; Mrs. Au-
brey Motz of Roswell is watching

lers, Critters, and Merritts Districts.
Would you like the job?
And these people are working, they
are not put down for honorable men
ton. And not one of them ever said
how he loved his country, and how ne
would die for it. But when our
Commander-in- Chief said, "Here is
task that / want you to do" they
got up and did it. The other stuff
is pretty good for canning" but
since the world began, love, faith,
and patriotism must show fruit to
prove it's existence.
And right here in paragraph to
Itself, let it be written; the District
Chairman for War Savings, Mr.. Nor
gan McNeel, has sacraficed business
and comfort and convenience in this
cause. He and his car have always
been ready to answer any call. And
this campaign has been running six
months already.
People of Cobb county, the gov
ernment has set time fuse. Great
things must be done on June 28th.
We must all lift together; we must
exert our strength; we must place our
country in a position of honor; we
must destroy this burden of an un-
paid quota 1t can be done if all will
work together. Every town, militia,
and school district has its share.
Every citizen is obliged to inquire
into this and to do his share. You
have no right to stand back and say,
"That is someone else's business, l
will take $40 worth" Even if you
have not borne the burden and the
heat of the day of preparation, for
humanity's sake, take hand now,
and do your best, and urge every
other man to do the same.
The cohorts of the Devil have ar
rived at our shores; they are destroy
ing precious food and precious lives;
they are knocking at your door; and
YOU must not let your brother take
your share in protecting your home.
No! Else you would not be worth
protecting. Demand the right to DO
your share, and do it now! If you
are rich, your income is growing on
account of the war, be you farmer
or business man, you know 1t, and
God knows it. Let your dollars strike
one mighty blow for freedom; and
the echo will come back to you IN
the form of government guaranteed
interest
