- "The first duty, the duty we
must keep in the foreground of
our thought until it is accomplish
ed, is to win the war" that was
the President's message delivered
in a speech in New York city
Saturday night. kThe man who
fancies he individually- has no
part m the winning of the war is
badly mistaken. We must ALL
have a part whether it is in
wearing a uniform, sewing and
giving to the Red Cross or pro
ducing and conserving food.
In the President's Baltimore
speech some time ago he said
force would be used to the limit
dealing with the Germans. And
now in his New York speech
Saturday night he reiterated the
same sentiment when he said
that men would be sent to the
limit. "Why limit our forces to
five million?" he asked, intimating
that the United States would send
ten million men if necessary.
But in this latest speech the
President particularly empha
sized the present duty of our
people in helping the Red Cross
Here is what the President ad
vices on wha we ought to give:
"And when you give, give absolutely
all you can spare, and don't call yourself
liberal in the giving. If you give with
self adulation, you please your own van
ity, but if you give until it hurts, then
your heart blood goes into it"
The total of the Third Liberty
Loan is $4,170,019,650, an over
subscription of 39 per cent above
the$3,(XX),()()0,()(X)minimun sought.
The number of subscriptions was
17,000,000, as against 9,500,000 for
the Second Loan and 4,500,000 for
the First. This is pretty good
evidence of the unanimity of our
people and the fact that the
country as a whole is awakening
to the war necessity. . " -
Charlie Chaplin's experience
in liberty bonds is said to have
left him with an attack of nervous
prostration Charlie evidently
finds liberty bonds harder to put
across than custard pies.

War Saving Stamps. ,
The amount of War Savings
Stamps sold at the Rockingham
postoffice up until today amounts
to $20,167.78. Of this '. amount
the Rockingham school has sub
scribed $8,06825. .
W. JLMyrick7a dry goods
nrefchant of Haw River. Alaman
ce countyreceived a severe
whipping Monday night at the
hands of a number of businees
meri bf his town. He had made
remarks detrimental to the gov
ernment, and on Monday when a
committee of ladies called on him
for a contribution to the Red
Cross he became abusive and not
only refused to give but refused
to display Red Cross placards in
his window. And his maddened
fellow citizens that night called
him out, whipped him, made him
kiss the flag and subscribe to the
Red Cross fund. On Tuesday the
Red Cross placards and signs ap
peared in his windows and now
he is a more subdued citizen.
While this 'mob law', as it
might be called, is not the legal
and right way to remedy evils,
still in a case such as the above
it seems to have been the best
remedy and certainly the quick-
etsand surest And what hap
pened to this unpatriotic man
will happen to others 'ef they
don' watch out.'
The German drive which was
expected by the Kaiser to win a
decisive victory, is now in the
third month. It was begun on
March 21st,and though the Allied
lines were pushed back to depths
varying from one to20 miles, the
lines still hold, and what is better,
they have beeu steadily streng
thened until now the danger and
menace of a new German offen
sive is not so much feared. That
the Germans are massing men
and material for another drive is
certain, and this new big offensive
is expected to be launched any
day now. But the prediction is
that it will not gain the ground of
the. first drive, and the advance
will be short-lived. ' That this
may be true should be the earn
est prayer of every lover of
Liberty the world-round.

How to Secure Sugar.
(Contributed)
The sugar certificates which it
is necessary for the individual to
use in securing sugar for canning
can be furnished to merchants of
the county from this office with
out cost or the merchants can
secure them by applying to the
office in Raleigh.
-Please be careful to distinguish
these certificates which can only
be used by people doing home
canning and preserving, from
the certificats upon which com
mercial users must purchase sug
ar. All commercial users includ
ing drug stors, soda fountains,
ice. cream manufacturers, bottl
ing works etc., must secure their
certificates direct from the Ral
eigh office after they submitted
to them a sworn statement show
ing their consumption of sugar
last year. -Blanks for this sworn
statement may be obtained from
the Raleigh office upon applicat
ion to them.

Are you able to enjoy your porch during the bright ,
sunny days in mid-summer? Have you not often
thonght how much more pleasure you would have if
you could use your porch from early Spring until late
m the Fall ? We dare say that you have had visions of
fitting up your porch with porch rugs, willow furniture,
Eorch tables, hammocks, etc., and perhaps you would
ave done so long ago if it had not seemed to you that
you were buying these fittings to put out in the open
almost as much as though they were to be placed on
the lawn.
After you have once experienced the pleasure which
one can easily have almost every day from Spring to
Fall if their porch is fitted up with Porch Shades and
then equipped with comfortable porch furniture, we do
not believe you could possibly be induced to go back to
the porch of old which was open to the sunshine and
which was almost as public as the roof of your house
itself, and which perhaps seemed to you such a barren,
uninhabitable place. It requires only a moderate ex
penditure, of money to equip your parch with VUDOR
Porch Shades and thus make it into a large, delightful,
airy, cheerful room where the children can play with
out injuring the expensive furniture in your living
rooms and where they can be in the health-giving out
doors air, and where you can watch over them yourfelf
in the most delightful surroundings.
Then again, when callers come you do not have to
take them intojhot, stuffy rooms in the interiyr of the
house.
We have VUDOR Porch Shades in stock
