HOW MUCH DO YOU CARE?

HOW MUCH DO 1OO SANC'
The drive is on to secure pledges
before the end of this week for the
balance of Robeson's quota-$1 ,O63,-
986-of War Savings stamps. Con-
siderably less than half of that
amount of stamps has been purchased
The task this week IS to see that the
entire amount is pledged.
Don't lose sight of the fact that
you do not have to purchase the en-
tire amount of War Savings stamps
you pledge to purchase all at one time.
Figure out how much you can invest
each week, or each month, in w. S. S.
during the balance of the year and
pledge that amount. You have from
now until the last day of December
this year to make good your pledge.
And in figuring don't forget that
you are figuring against the life
of an American soldier who is offer
ing his life for you. Just that. A
Robeson county boy, if you prefer to
put it that way. How much are you
willing to save and deny yourself in
order to help a Robson county boy
back home? That's the question for
each of US to answer. Those boys
have gone at their country's call-at
our country's call-to fight, certain
ly, and die, if need be. We expect
them to do their duty. We know they
will do their duty. If any one of them
should refuse to do the thing he is
commanded to do, to go where he is
commanded to go, he would meet the
fate of coward and traitor.
But how about the person at home
who refuses to do what the Govern
ment asks us to do and says it is nee
essary for US to do in order to sup
port and equip these fighting men?
Are we not just as much duty-bound
and honor-bound to do the thing our
Government asks US to do as is TIE
soldier?
1t is big job Robson county has
on hand this week. Let~us say, rath-
er, that it is a glorious opportunity.
Every one who takes advantage Of
this opportunity not only will be help
ing to shorten the war and bring the
boys back home, but will be investing
money that will be paid back with in
terest.
Think what it will mean to Robson
county boys at the front to learn that
the people of the old home county
have pledged ST ,064 900 in w. S. S. to
bring them back home! Think what
it would mean, too, for the news to
go to those boys that the folks back
home failed to pledge the amount they
were asked to pledge!
But it is not only an opportunity to
help win the war: it is an opportunity
to learn lessons of thrift and invest
money that will make the people of
this county forever independent.
1t is no child's job. Every man or
woman who is able to invest the limit.
$1,000, should do so. The limit be-
low that for every one who cannot
buy that much should be the limit of
ones ability to invest by saving.
II we knew that if we did not
pledge our quota this week Robson
county would be invaded next week
by the Huns and every farm laid
waste, every town DESTROYED. the
people of the county would subscribe
$2,OOO,OOO and think they were get
ting off cheap at that.
Every one should rejoice at the on
portunity to help win the war and q.
the same time make a good invest

MAKES STEEL HEAL ITSELF
remarkable Machine Designed and
Constructed In French Workshop
During the War.

One of the most remarkable ma
chimes ever built Is In operation at the
great workshop In France. where the
Royal Flying corps repairs Its damaged
airplanes. This machine, the only one
Of Its kind. which was both conceived
and constructed In that workshop, Is
described by Gustave Babin In ILLUS
tration as one that makes wounded
steel heal itself In exactly the same
way as wounded flesh heals.
It is almost automatic, Is operated
by electricity and uses galvanism as
its principle. 1t needs only one or two
men to watch II. they being guided by
a chart, showing In many colors the
piece of metal TO be repaired. the ex-
act repairs necessary, the composition
Of the galvanic bath, the current need
ed. the diameter of the wires that con-
duct 1t and the time OF immersion. All
this is worked out mathematically to
the mlnutest fraction and the machine
does the rest.
It Is used for restoring worn or
broken parts OF delicate motors, most
OF which are difficult to replace. When
M. Babin saw II there were lying on
the table beside 1t parts 1t had just
repaired that would have cost $1,000
and much time to replace. Ia the
previous week II had turned out 300
pieces, all Of great Importance. for
nothing less is conf1ded to II.
