Our star and stripes are at stake for us t save or lose: to ho!ld or see German with her mighty army of forty years training subdue and crush into ruim~ War is an awvful thing. It mean destr'uction of homes, lives, and for tunes while in progress, but who conquered it means pecei' and hiai: pmness. Of course, w.e all k<now the cause o th is war'. World wide powers, su premtacy of high seas, sinking of ou ships, our birds of commerce, lack o strong c'entrali government on the par of Germany.

So you see Untcle Sam's army con tains every United States citizen whether he wears the Khaki or Navy color. We must give our lives and fortunes if need be. When Uncle Sam calls we must answer .y doing what : ,he bids. Buy War Savings Stamps. This patriotic service has been di vided up into various organizations, s uch as Red Cross, Liberty Bonds, Junior Red Cross and War Savings 'Stamps. -But War Savings Stamps are what s we are putting forth this special ap - peal for this evening. Big men must 11 do big bits--Buy Liberty Bonds; lit - tle folks like you and I do little bits Buy War Savings Stamps. But every flittle bit helps. There are two ways - to get these stamps. Go to some r bank or post office and purchase one f at its value, wvhich is $4.16. If you can't (do that much buy a Thrift ,Stamp, wvhich costs 25 cents. Then r keep on saving until you can fill your ,card and get a War-Savings Stamp. Now, I am pleading in Uncle Sam's Sname to you this evenin~g; (d0 your rJart. If you don't, if' needs be, he is ,going to lay hold of your money in some way, as in tax form. If he dloes not Germany's brutal hosts will - trample us under foot. Why hoard Syour dollars and lose your freedom. (What will it profit if we lay our for. Stuines by only to be trodden undler by .blood thirsty Germans? Why fling down your dollars to the Hiuns ? Why ,not feed them to A merican guns ? I Save a soldier's life. We have sent t our soldiers to France. Now must we need see themi lac k food and am mu n itiori while wec bank our dlollars here at homie ? Hani't we rather see the Stars ando IStripes float ove Gerimany than the German flag over A merica ? Sure, we a had. This is our war, our duty, our country to save or to lose, not one man alone. With God's help the United States has got to win. She must win. She shall win. We could niot afford to dlishonor our heroes of thec Revolutionary and Civil Wars who have past and gone, for if -they could their hones would rise fromi a peaceful grave and fight before their country should be defeated by the furious Germans. Tfhe soldiers are going, not one by one, but byv the thousands. Not the least question about leaving their homes, parents, sweethearts and wives, but going like men, b~ecause they want to save their country. Com pare your sacrifice and theirs. Now, my last appeal to you, boys andl girls who breathe the free air] beneath the Stars and Stripes, buyi War-Savings Stamips until your banki account is wanting, your pocket book is empty, and ypur stomach aching< for a biscuit. Buy a tig Stmsuntil heSars and Stripes shall reign over Germany and Ameri-1 ca shall wrin the victor.

Box Miss Sadie Ridgill This great war in which we are now engaged is one of the most un civil, barbarious, heart-rending wars that America has ever beeen forced to share. Never before did a matter of win or lose have such unbounded re sults as would occur in this case. If it should be our misfortune to lose, what word, what imagination, could picture the hiheousness, the heinousness of the invading, plunder ing, murdering German armies, de stroying our country--America. But shall we lose ? The patriotism of every true America --would rebel against that word, "surrender" when such a cause is at stake. Never before did a war threaten such a menace to our very existence, to say nothing of our civilization? My friends, picture our free America subjected to German rule For free dom and life our forefathers gave their lives gladly, and now shall we allowv this blessing to be taken from us just because wve do not support our President? Arc we going to be slackers? Are we going to be cow ards and think of our own peace and prosperity only, and thus sacrifice our honor? Very often we hear peo ple say, "We could have' kept out of this wvar; we could have livedl at home without commercial .relations wvith other countries." Could wve have kept of this wvar? Yes, we could have by sacrificing the noblest virtue--our honori.. Didl America ever turn coward and' run when her dluty was plain before her? Should we have .aeldl our hands and wai~ted until Germany had con., qIuered F rance and her allies arnd have landedl on A merican sod---here to re peat the dlebauchery, the plundlering, the murdlering in cold blood of our men, women andl children, as was (lone in France, Belgium, Russia and other countries which are at war? May our| merciful Godl forbid that these crimes' may ever be repeatedl in America. Trhe savagery of (Germany and her unprIncipled ruler cannot be comparedI with any of the ancient barbarians of the time when civilization was strug gling for permanence, It seemedl in dceed that it could not have been worse when wars were wvagted between man and( man, but now this awful was is being fought against the innocent women and childlren. Our armies are in r'rance to help I and man, but now this awful war is the risk of their lives, but they cannot win without the hearty co-operation of the people at home, even though they make the supreme sacrifice. On the battlefieldls of our allies af ter a battle all of the wounded Ger man soldiers are taken to a hospital where they are cared for as carefully is our own men until their recovery. D)oes Germany care for our woundled oldiers? Do you know what is (lone o0 them ? The club that is used in his case might have been the weapon >fa savage of five thousandl years o, but it is in reality the one that ;hose brutal Germans use to end that iv fthe poor, wounded, helpless s10d era of heor enamo. nowi. this, 4 EXPECT TO )F AT at we have ti if Machinery: engines.
