REDEEM YOUR PLEDGES
Will Carroll County Go over
the Top2

Will Carroll county go over the
top in the purchase of War Saving
Stampsq If she does she is going
to have to get mighty busy. A
large per cent of our quota has
been pledged, but many, it seems,
have failed so far to redeem their
pledges.
They seem to think that because
the war is over their obligations
to the government ends and they
are no further bound to live up to
their promises. Mr.. Preston, the
state director, makes a per sonal
appeal for the pledges to be re-
deemed Among other things he
says: | desire to make a personal
appeal to our loyal people to jeal-
ouSly protect tn e good record our
state has made in every war time
demand. We have bought our
share of Liberty bonds. We have
given our quota to Che Red Cross.
We met the demands of the war
work organizations, and we pledged
our quota of war savings. II we
fail to actually buy the stamps we
will have spoiled a perfect record,
and at the same time violated faith
with the government. The war
savings stamps are worth the
money and our pledge is outstand-
ing.

REAL ESTATE DEALS
Farms In Huntington Community
Are Ready Sale

Farms in the community Of
Huntingdon are in demand, find
ing ready sale at high prices.
There has been a wonderful adj
vance in the price of land here in
the last twelve or fifteen years.
A few weeks ago G. NJ. Watson
bought the j. G. Lambert farm
for $4,000. Last week he sold it
to Jas. w. Wilder for $4,000.
This farm sold fifteen years ago
for about $4,000, This, though,
was good deal for Mr.. Wilder,
who owns another farm separ tied
from this one BY the public road,
and gives him body of very fine
laid that will continue to increase
Ia value. This land lies well, is
close to town and the two farms
make a very desirable piece of
property,
David Quesenberry, has sold
bis farm, two and one-half miles
from town, to a party from Texas,
the consideration being $4,000.
This dealwas made through Carver
&Garver. This is the Pickett place
together with some land bought
from the Leach estate. Mr.. Cues
enberry bought it a few years ago
and, we understand, has i'm
proved the place very much.
Mr.. Quesenberry is a good farmer
and will locate in this community
if he can bny a place to suit him,
HI. e. Link has sold his farm.
about two miles from town, to a
Mr.. Hammel, Of Cincinnati. The
deal was made through jenkins &
Sons, but we did not learn the con-
aideration. Mr.. Link is advertising
for sale his personal property and
will likely move to some other
state. He had a good farm and
is placing some valuable personal
property on the market.

sitting in a peace conference III

A Vigorous Campaign for 1919
Membership

President Wilson in a proclamation
made public Monday calls on every
American to join the American Red
Cross Christmas roll call week, Dec.
Is to 23, and thus send forth to the
whole human family the Christmas
greeting for which it awaits and for
which it stands in greatest need. The
proclamation, prepared before the
President departed for Europe, fol-
lows:

To the American People:
Zone year ago twenty-five million
Americans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time.
sent to the men who were fighting
our battles overseas a stimulating
message of cheer and good will. They
made 1t clear that our people were
OF their own free choice united with
their Government in the determine
ton not only to wage war with the
instruments of destruction but also
1 by every means in their power to re-
pair the ravages of the invader and
sustain and renew the spirit of the
Army and of the homes which thew
represented. The friends of the
American Red Cross in Italy, Belgium
and France have told and will tell
again the story Of how the Red Cross
workers restored morale in the hos
| pitfalls, in the camps, and at the can
tonments, and we ought to he very
4 proud that we have been permitted
to be of service to those whose suf-
ferings and whose glory are the her
itage of humanity.
"Now, by Gods grace the Red
Cross Christmas message of 1918 is
to be a message of peace as well as
a message Of good will. But peace
does not mean that we can fold our
hands. 1t means further sacrifice.

and be increased for the great tasks
to come. We must prove conclusive

ca is permanently aroused to the
needs of the new era, our old indif-

need today for every heartening

the highest consequence, and that the

means a great deal to them. The

for positions of this kind; the usual
salaries at the beginning range
from $1,000 to 10000 a year, ap-
pointments at $1,000 being in the
minority. The War Department
makes all appointments to such posi-
tons at not less than $1,000 a year,
and agrees to promote to $1,000 a
wear after three months satisfac-

les higher than $1,000 year are

that there may be food enough for
our fighting men and their allies, to
quit stuffing ourselves as though we
were being fattened for the table, and
to choke off the garbage barrels fat
supply; and when we obey, we benefit
our purses and our heaiths.
In short, when Uncle Sam asks us
to save to help win the war, he asks
us to do ourselves great favor; and
yet, simply because the need is great
and the appeal urgent, and because
the Nation pleads with US to do this
simple thing, We are prone to look
upon it as a great favor to the coun-
try, and to stick feathers in our hats
and go strutting around because we
granted it. It's patriotic, all right.
1t helps the coutnry-not only now,
but later; not only for war, but for
the trial of national fiber that comes
after the war-but it helps us even
more.
And it is so easy, so much more
helpful to ourselves than to the
country, so small a thing to do COM
pared with what our boys in arms are
doing, that it really is joke to pin
roses on ourselves for doing it.
We ought to do it. We must do it.
But instead Of expecting Uncle Sam
to decorate us for heroism, we ought
to get on our knees and thank him for
the opportunity of getting little
sound sense pounded into us at last.
And that goes as to the average indi-
vidual, and as to the Nation and peo-
pie as a whole.

SAVE AND INVEST, BUT DO NOT
BRAC ABOUT 1T.
By Stillman H. Bingham, editor of
the Deluth Herald.

Uncle Sam asks us to save in order
to help win the war-to save SO that
we can help finance the fighting, so
that we can help prevent the needless
diversion of men and money from
fighting industries to industries that
deal in non-essentials. We do tat
least some of us do it to some ex-
tent-and then we act, deep down in
side anyway, as though we had done
something that had earned us a hero
medal of some kind!
Have you really stopped to think
what joke that is? Have you really
thought how absurd it is when we
take it that way and begin to swell
up with pride over our patriotic sac
rifics! 4 y
Here is what it comes to: When
Uncle Sam asks us to save to help win
the war, in effect he asks us to lay up
little something for rainy day or
for dependent old age. He asks us
to moderate our pace, to get down to
plain living, to cut out frills that lose
us sleep and strength and health, to
quit foolish competition in spend
ing that frazzles our nerves, skaters
our peace of mind, and sends con-
tentment shrieking OUT of our lives.
He asks US to save up little store
that we can use either to shelter us
fl ON the wintery blasts Of impecuni-
Gus old age or, if we please, spend in
one shot that will really get US some
thing when the storm Of war is over
a coveted car, building site, that
''home of our own," trip to the bat
tlefelds of Europe.
He asks us to save to help win the
war; but that means that he asks US
to form the habit Of thrift, which we
were in danger Of forgetting or, in
deed, had forgotten. He asks us to
stop shooting our money to the birds,
reckless Of the future and its bris-
Ting storehouse Of consequences. He
asks % 70 apportion our income be-
tween . reasonable, decent living and
. savings fund. He asks - to put
that savings into War Savings Stamps
and Liberty Bonds He asks -, %

Lively Competition For
Flags Expected
Plan Of Awards to Yards
Workers Offers Splendid
Opportunity for War Time
Distinction

Awards of flags to the shipyards
that lead the nation in actual produc-
ton, of badges to faithful workers in
the yards, and Of gold and silver med
ais to men who perform unusual serv-
ice, offer a splendid opportunity for
war time distinction.
The plan Of awards, announced in
last weeks issue of the Emergency
Fleet News, is something new in
American policy, and should 60 down
as an historical incident in connec-
ton with the great war. There are
doubtless hundreds of men who have
worked faithfully and loyalty for four
consecutive months in various ship
yards and who are entitled, thereby,
to receive service badges. These
badges will be awarded to the deserv-
ing as soon as they are ready for dis
tribution.
Bars for Special Service.
They have been selected by board
composed of representatives Of the
FIVE principal branches of war work.
Bars to designate additional faithful
service will be awarded to the hold
ers of the badges. They can be at
tached to the badge, and will stand
as honorary testimonials Of distin-
guished and loyal work during war
times.
The awarding Of flags to shipyards
is expected to create a nationwide
spirit of rivalry between the yards.
1t would be no small distinction for
a shipyard to fly the blue banner
which pronounces it champion of all
plants producing vessels for tho
Emergency Fleet Corporation. And
it would be still higher distinction
for the same yard to win the right to
keep this flag flying by virtue Of its
success in winning first place for three
months.
Flag Expected to Shift About.
It is fully expected that the cham
pionship blue flag will change hands
many times within the next year. The
white flag for second place, and the
red for third should be sought after
with enthusiasm. The shipyards that
fly these flags will be proclaimed
the nation as the leaders
in ship production.
The gold and silver medals will not
be awarded except for service in the
that is extraordinary and OF
particular value to the nation. 1t is
not to be expected that great num-
Der of these medals will be earned,
and any man who wins the right to
wear one may we'll feel that he has
service emblem that
him as a real leader among
his fellows.
