An Appeal to Save.
(By Claude Gore)

My neighbor of small income,
my friend the wage earner-the
time has come for you to show
with how much earnestness you
want our beloved country to win
Ito show that the supermen do
moi i've bcyoul t,,.c Rhine.
In this War Savings opportunity
is locked up the two greatest re-
wards ofservice: the satisfaction
of knowing that you have done
what you could to save humanity;
that you have done what you
could to save your country.
When you perform this service
your immediate reward is that
you have saved yourself, for if
your country loses YOU are lost.
You also save yourself in other
ways: When you save, you spend
less; when you spend less, you
decrease the demand; when you
decrease the demand, the price of
a commodity is lowered!
Saving is an anchor to wind
ward. Wages and the prices of
farm products are not always
going to be high. If you do not
save while these things are high
you will suffer when they 60
down.
War Stamps are the best invest
ment ever offered to a race of
men. They are as safe as can
be; they pay a good return, and
they are redeemable in ten days.
Your assessments have been
made as low as possible. If you
look or this matter as a wise man,
you will have them increased as
much as possible and lay aside
that amount of savings that when
the depression (Which VIII c,:-cl.' cly
follow this BOOM comes you will
be able to weather it.
Next week is your test. Prove
to your country that you are a
man, that your heart is in the
right place and that your head is
full of brains. Pledge yourself to
the limit, whether that limit is
the widows mite, as smentioned
above, or the full limit of 1000.
Help carry old Richmond county
over the top with a whoop that
can be heard in the deepest dun
geon in Berlin!

334 PER CENT
Rockingham Chapter Went
"Over the Top" in Recent
Red Cross Campaign
By 334 Per Cent.

The treasurer, J. LeGrand Ever
ett, has prepared his final report
to Red Cross headquarters of
moneys received in the recent
Second Red Cross War Fund
drive. This report shows that
Rockingham Chapter (which en-
braces all of Richmond county
outside of Hamlet, which has a
Chapter Of it's own) subscribed a
total of $l0,705,70! The quota
assigned the Chapter was $1,000,
and so from this it is seen that
the over-subscription amounts to
3343 per cent.
