MWHHH Let Your Dollars THIS war is a test of a democratic Govern ment It is also a trial of democracy as to its fitness to survive. A small group of auto crats within whose hands ar? the resources of Central ILurope are attaching the principle of the right of people to govern themselves. Should the United States and its allies fail in this war there will not remain on earth a people absolutely indepen dent of the dictation of the Teutonic empires, organized for military efficiency and bent on using that efficiency for the purpose of forcing their will upon the world. Let the Teu tons triumph and the world will not be a safe place for democracy, and to maKe it such a safe place, is not only the expressed purpose of the United States in taKing up the challenge of the Huns, but also the purpose of the other powers who tooK up the challenge when Germany sent it forth three years and a half ago, and who for three years and a half have borne the burden of the conflict For this reason the PRESENT BUSINESS OF THE UNITED STATES IS WAR-war to exterminate or ganized unrighteousness and to establish peace among the nations of the world. The Government has perfected a plan which will enable all of our people without exception, to taKe a definite part in winning the war. ?5* f HC So Sc mR SAVINGS STAMPS 13SU2? 0Y THE . UNITED STATES ' ..GOVERNMENT THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BY One of the first great steps called for by the Govern ment is-SAVING. The American people must cease to require all of the pleasant and comfortable luxuries which they consumed before the war, the production of which calls for the energy of millions of men and women. These men and women must devote themselves to the production of the things which are needed to win the war. This is the Key to the present situation; it rests in the hands of the average man, woman and child in every state in the Union# by refraining from everything not absolutely necessary to health, and efficiency, to release strong arms for the pro duction of materials of war to support our army and navy. Idle dollars are SLACKER dollars, but dollars spent for unnecessary articles, the production of which require labor and materials which the government needs to save the lives of our fighting men, are TRAITOR dollars. uy War Savings Stamps at Postoffices, Banks, Trust Companies or Other Authorized Agencies and Stamp Out Autocracy gm ADDIS?N MILLS * The mill is enlarging its capacity and now on government work to help win the war Abbeville-Greenwood Mu tual Insurance Asso ciation.
