Remarkable unanimity of purpose
and enthusiasm in action is being dis
played throughout Maury county for
the great War Savings program that
will occur next Friday. So widespread
has become the interest in the move
ment that If there is any timidity or
dimunition OF vigor 1t will be on the
part Of the various committees that
have charge Of the various districts
and communities rather than on the
part OF the masses of the people.
There have been numerous instances
in which committeeman who feared
that their communities would not be
able. to o0metup with their quotae,have
been shown that the people OF these
communities have already demonstrate
ed their willingness to do more than
will be asked Of them.
Thousands OF official notifications
to individuals to attend meetings In
their respective communities at 2
p. m. next Friday have been mailed
and the meetings have been well adj
vertised. 1t is improbable that any
person is without information as to
when the meetings will be held and
the purposes Of the meetings. But the
first aim is that every inhabitant Of
the county attend a meeting that day,
SO If any individual has not received
a personal notification he or she
should realize that it is his or her
duty to attend the meeting anyway
and respond to the roll call with
pledge for War Savings Stamps.
All kinds of work and business will
suspend at 2 o'clock, SO that no per-
son will have an excuse for being alb
sent from meeting. Even threshing
crews are expected to halt at this
hour, but members Of these crews may
make their pledges and return to
their work ahead Of the other inhabi-
tants OF any district, so that they will
be as little delay as possible in the
important work Of sthreshing wheat.
Cessation Of work at that hour is
expected to be voluntary, not only in
Maury county but also throughout the
United States. Business men who fail
or refuse to close their doors then
will be subjected to the suspicion OF
a lack of loyalty to the plans of the
government.
This county has never been better
organized for any other campaign
than it is for the War Savings drive,
and the machinery of this organiza-
ton is SO nicely fitted that at the
close Of next Friday there will be
report showing that Maury has again t,
gone over the top.
Chairman H. o. Fulton this morning
issued the following statement:
Our country is now fully organized
and in most cases the census has been
taken and the allotment thereby as
certained. In addition to this, most
Of the committees have completed
their lists Of persons expected to be
present at the meetings for the pur-
bose of subscribing, and apportion.
nents are being rapidly made out.
Most of the community districts are
hiding the task very light as com
pared with what they thought it
would be before they got to it.
The Central committee is gratified
o find that every community commit
zee is determined to see that their
community win be among the first to
meet the call in full. We are further
ratified to see that every person in
very community is, fully alive to the
Importance Of this movement and that
hey individually have the inspiration
