EVERYBODY URGED TO
HELP IN CAMPAIGN
OF the Fourth Liberty Loan.--the
best and only way to Help is
10 buy and help sell bonds

At noon Thursday l75 red
blooded Americans Of this town.
slip had bought bonds of the
Fourth Liberty Loan having paid
for the bonds in full or made the
part payment, about 80 others
had signed contracts for the
bonds, but had not made any
payment therefore could not be
credited. The committee chair
man has asked US to urge those
who have signed agreements to
purchase the bonds and made no
payment, to see their banker at
once and make this first payment
before Saturday night in order
that a good report can be made
at the meeting Sunday.
Our Liberty Loan organization
has set out to sell 1900 $50 bonds
a task that will require the assis-
tance of most every man and
woman in the community.
You are asked to help in this
great work, it makes no differ
ence whether you are member
of the committee or not. The
government is offering a service
pin to any one who sells five
bonds to five different people and
takes one himself Go to work
and win one.
The war lords of Germany still
believe we are bluffing, Tor at
least pretend sol and if we fail
in this loan they will be justified
in believing so. Can we, the
greatest of all nations, be rated
as failures when the whole civil
lied world and the helpless small
nations that have been overrun
by the German lords are looking
to US for deliverance. Let your
answer be the purchase of a bond,
and still another if possible.
To make the Fourth Liberty
Loan a success everyone must
help. Every employer shold try
to get each of mis- employees to
buy a bond and help them to dc
so if they need help this we
are sure will be done by every
employer in Roanoke Rapids and
Rosemary.

Kindly send your check i'm

The Red Cross Commissioner
for France has cabled that the
hospitals are in urgent need of
the following supplies:-
1880, 600 Bath Towels, $500,
900 Hand Towels, 1,750, 600
Handkerchiefs, 125,0O0 Napkins.
The American Red Cross at
Washington has carefully con-
sidered the best way Of filing
these requirements.
1t is exceedingly difficult to
secure these articles in large
quantities in the open market at
any reasonable price today, and
we have finally decided to ask
our Chapters to share in provid-
ing the articles on a plan which
was tried most successfully in a
limited number of chapters some
months ago.
The plan referred to, known
as the Linen Shower" is to ask
each family to contribute one
article or a set of articles OF
household linen from their re.
serve stock. In this way, with.
out material reduction either OF
the household stock or of the
sources of supply, large quaint.
ties of useful articles can be
secured for Red Cross work and
it is hoped that Chapters in al
parts of the country will JOIN in
this plan of filling the presen,
acquisitions.
Our Branch's protortionate
part is as follows:-
65 Bath Towelss 13O HAND
Towels, 100 Hapdkerchiefs, s
Napkins, 40 ShsSEs.
