Now It these men are supplied with arms, ammuni tion, transportation and a thousand other things they will need when in actual war service, you can multiply these figures by ten and then not overestimate. But here's what we are trying to impress upon you as a part of your duty to the government You should, at least, be willing to care for your own men and you know it will take thousands of dollars to do so. A question then comes to you; how shall Uncle Sam raise the money to provide for these soldiers. The answer is simple: buy Uncle's Sam's securities and just now the security he is offering Is War Saving Stamps. Buy these stamps, buy them until it hurts, make sacrifices so that you I can buy them and when buying them, j think of the duty you owe the sons' of your own Columbia county, who! have answered the call and gone to! defend YOU. Any sacrifice you may make in order to purchase W. S. S. cannot be compared with the sacrifices some of these boys have made and, possibly, the supreme sacrifice they will be called on to make.
