Show Your Country Calls. Mount Pleasant is required to sell $61,000.00 of War Savings Stamps during the current year. The rate of sales up to date has been far too slow to make up the quota during (lie year. The business must be speeded up. Under the direction of the National AVar Savings Commit Ice, the local committee has apportioned the amount each individual individ-ual is to be asked to purchase. This plan has been resorted to in order to equalize the distribution. It is earnestly hoped that there will be no slacking. Reports of refusals will have to be made to the State Director of War Savings. This is not a contribution. It is a safe and secure investment. The stamps bear 4 per cent interest, compounded quarterly, and mature in 4VL years. They can be cashed at any post office, before maturity, on ten days notice. No one person may have more than one thousand dollars in stamps. Pledge cards will be distributed, and people asked to promise in writing to buy their allotted amounts, on or before December 31st, 191S. The pledge must be signed and returned on or before be-fore June 28th, 1918. ' The War Savings Stamps sale is for the purpose of raising the necessary money to prosecute the war. To equip and support the boys who are risking their lives for you. The call is urgent. Let us respond in patriotism and gratitude, before that certain day when sterner methods will be adopted, because the monev must be furnished. MOUNT PLEASANT WAP, SAVINGS COMMITTER.
