A C ALL FOR REPORTS FROM SO?
CIETIES.
War Savings Committee Ask All So?
cieties to Report What They Have
Rom* so Far?Holes Must Increase
What are the War Savings societies
doing ?
The committee is asking that ques
tion, and there is but one way to lind
out; the societies must report.
The report is wanted of holdings
through April 16th; they will be pub?
lished as fast as they come in. The
report should read:
Abc W. S. S. organized April 1st;
2G members; stamps owned through
April 15th, $92.50. Holdings of
highest member, $25.25.
The publishing of these reports will
|tve interest to the members, and will
show the various societies what the
other societies are doing.
Count War Saving Stamps as $5.ON
each. The report should be sent to
Mrs. C. L. Stubbs, or to H. A. Moses.
All adult societies whether in the city
or in the country are asked to report.
Reports of the school societies have
already been called for, and will bt
read at the county school day exer?
cises on the 19th.
Stop Shouting and Start Shooting.
Every man who isn't taking this
war home to himself and making it
a part of his life is a non essential.
Every man who does not make the
cause of his country the sub-con?
scious thought back of every action
of his daily life is not living up to the
possibilities of his citizenship. He is
not doing his part in the glorious
work for the liberation of humanity
from despotism.
The shouting must stop and the
shooting begin. We can afford to
leave off singing "The Star Spangled
Banner" long enough to go out and to
keeptthat holy and sacred flag from
defilement in the dirty paws of the
German Kaiser?the paws that are
dripping with the blood of murdered
millions.
Baseball Friday.
The high school boys start hard
practice today in preparation for their
?ante with Camden this Friday. The
Camden team has defeated all op?
ponents so far this season and they
will attempt to keep their string ol
victories intact. The game has been
arranged so as not to interfere witl
any other event in connection with
Patriotic Day. Play will be com?
menced promptly at 4 o'clock at the
fair grounds. Admission prices of
fifteen cents for ladies and school
children and twenty-five cents for ad?
ults will be charged in order to d s
fray the heavy expenses of the visit
ing team. A competent man will urn
pire the game.
