She is to be put to the test as to whether wheth-er she can, through her citizens, subscribe $0,000,000 far the purchase of War Sav- "ings bonds and, Thrift stamps before January 1. There 13 a fear in certain quarters that the amount needed will not be raised, dtle to what is considered a generally apathetic apath-etic attitude toward war fund work since hostilities ceased in Europe. It is pointed out by the local War Savings Sav-ings committee that this constitutes a menace to the standing of the state, which in all wir drives has risen nobly to the occasion and has been well to the V. t 1 front among all the states of the union, j Utah has, approximately, a population -of 460000. Tovraise $8,000,000 between now and January l?&eans that every per- son in the state should subscribe about $8. .In some cases it will be manifestly impossible im-possible for this to be carried out, for a large proportion of the population consists con-sists of non wage earning children. In such instances tne head of the family should see to it that his household gives its utmost. Many thousands can afford to give more than $8 each and it behooves them for thesafeguarding of Utah's fair name to furnish more than $5 individually. indivi-dually. - It is not a question of subscribing according ac-cording to your means. You have a greater duty. The United7 States needs the money and you will be lacking in patriotism pat-riotism unless you give to the utmost. The local committee has adopted the slogan of "For the Honor of Utah." Paraphrasing Nelson's immortil words: "Utah expects that every man this day will do his duty." Don't wait until next week.
