Speaking of enlistments in the
army and navy, we wonder if there
is any town in the State the size of
Bamberg that can show as many
voluntary enlistments in these
branches of the service as our town
can.
Have you started your boy or gin
to buying and saving war stamps yet? |
If you have not, you are missing the j
greatest opportunity of a lifetime to
instill into them the art of "saving.
A child needs now only to be encouraged
to save their nickels and
dimes. We know of many instances
where children have declined to
buy candy and other delicacies which j
they love so well in order to buy j
stamps. They may not have a very j
. clear conception of what the war is,
but they believe they are contributing ;
to some great object?and in this
they are right. The successful men i
of tomorrow are the children of to-3~"*

er conception of money and its value, j
When you see a boy who is willing j
to sacrifice some of the little things
all children crave, you need have no
fear of that boy's future. It is already
assured, so far as finances are,
concerned. So we say the govern-:
ment is now offering the greatest op- j
portunity that we shall probably ever
have to instill into the children the
value of saving.
The liberty bond campaign is to j'
close within the next few days. Have;
you done your part in the war by '
investing in one or more bonds? If
not, you should see one of the com- j
mittee, or your bank, today and subscribe-to
the limit of your ability. ,1
We hear many people boast of their
patriotism, and yet when approach- j
ed to lend the government some mon- \

one accord .begin to make excuses.
Verily, these are times which,
show what men are made of. Many!
people are just bubbling over with
the sort of patriotism which costs i
them nothing. Never toruble your-j
self about whether this war is going
to cost you anything or not. It certainly
will. You now have the opportunity
of LENDING your government
your money. If you do not
lend your money, you will have to
pay the government in other ways.
Liberty bonds are not taxable. The
man who invests his money in bonds
will not pay taxes on just that much j
of his wealth. Invest it in anything |;
else, and you will pay dearly. It is 1
not right that any man or set of i
men should make money by a war n
which costs so much blood, and any j
person who undertakes to take ad-; <
vantage of the crisis to become!
urooHhv will livo tn rP2Tfit it. in OUT

- opinion. It is not enough that we
should give our sons?our sons must
be equipped and provided with the
best supplies money can buy. The i
man who is able to buy bonds and
fails or refuses to do it will be a j
. marked man the rest of his life.

that has been ordered to move
or is in transit from points of mobilization
or training to a port of embarkation.
All furloughs granted
