) iP 1 ™ 19, ui) SDAY. JUNE VOL. XClL JUNE 28 THE DAY, National War Saviogs Day Mast Be Made & Success, The National War Ravings Com mittee, which is carrying on through its Htate and local committees, a Na. tion-wide campaign to get all the ple on or before June 28 to pledge themselves to save to the utmost of their ability and to buy War Savings Btamps with their savings, has given out the following statement : “ Those of us who remain at home while others do the fighting have an ever-increasing number of opportuni ties to do definite and bighly import. ant work for our country. We wish to do this work as an expression of the gratitude we feel in being privilered to continue at our usual taske, to er joy the loving companionship of cur fam- ilies, to meet freely with cur friends and neighbore, to er joy all the secur ity of life and most of the pleasures and the economic privileges of peace times while other men, who bave had to put aside all these thinge, are fight. ing our battles for us on the sacred soil of Fravce and on bigh seas. “ Our new opporlunity to serve comues a8 a rec ult of desigoating June 28 as National War Beviogs Day, a day on which all men spd women and all children of sufll cient years to appreci- ate the day’s significance are called upon to pledge themselves to save to the utmost of their ability and to cor serve all possible labor and muateriale for the Government, and to buy War Bavings Btamps with their savings. Our part is to do everthing pessible to make this day stand out among the great days of this period of the war * Could apy one of us be asked to do less than this? Could any one of uw refuse to do so little a thing to win a war for the world’s freedom T Could any one of us put aside this plea for savipng while all Europe is crying out in its agony to be relessed from the clutehes of the monster that is befoul ing all it touches? Could we refuse 80 simple a thing and at the same time ask other men to give their lives that our own precious lives be spared and our firesides be kept safe from the ter- rors of the Hun ? “Oar duty is clear, our privilege Is grest, cur sacrificg is little, our work is imoportant, : “ National War Savings Day ia tobe the great rallying day on which every- one in our country is expected to pledge himself or herself to save and economize, This saving and econo- miz'og will first ofall leave in the mar. kete a greater supply of labor and ma- terials for the use of the Government with which to fight the war. And then the mopey savings of the indi viduals are to be invested in War Bav- ing Stampe. ‘* What the Government asks us to do is to pledge ourselves to buy at defl. nite periods with our savings a speci fic amount of War Bavings Stamps The thing to be accomplished is to get subscriptions which will tske care during the balance of the present year of the unsold portion of the $2,000,000, 000 of War Bavings Btamps authorized by the Congress to be sold during 1918, When one stops to think of the matter, it is really a small thipg to raise §2 000,000,000 in a country of more than 100,000,000 people. If every ope would do his share, it would be necessary for each person to subscribe to only $20 worth of stampe. “ The duty of us at home ia to see to it that the entire amount is subscribed, We niust work to that end. We must add to our already great army of war savers, We must make more sac rifices ourselves and urge sacrifices up on others, National War Saving Day must be made the great succem all of us hope for.” A A —— Etate College Man Pleads for Oare of rarm Machinery, Joele Bam shows what he thinks of the farm machine when he places it at the top of ¢ll manufactured products of the country. He will ship a farm machine and let the automobile stand where it is, Any farmer who has a faroa maching should take care of it not only because it haa lately doubled in value bat be- cause to mistreat it means not only a greater burden of transportation on another machine but also the use of more steel and iron which Is now needed for other purposes. ““ A wan should not perform any Job that s machine can do, because of the fact that he is most Inefficient when doing work by hand and most efMcient when directing power as It I applied to farm implements.
