Personal Canvas Here Tuesday Sells
81 Bonds-Many More Must Be
Taken

While the citizens Of Springdale
ard community have responded in a
seemingly liberal way TOW ard the pur-
chase of Liberty Bonds, still Spring
dale IS far behind in the purchase of
the quota allotted to this district.
Instant acton IS necessary,
There is no time to be lost The
purchase OF Liberty Bond is pat
riotic duty, and every American eiti-
gen must respond The government
must have money 10 pay the expen-
ses of the present war. Il is not
question of what the government is
going to do with the money; il is not
a question of whether Colonel ROose-
Welt should have been sent to Europe;
il is not question of whether you
favor the war or rot; but il is clear,
concise case Of patriotism.
The government needed sol
diers; the government asked for
volunteers. A sufficient number
did not respond. and the conscript
Jaw, or draft measure became ef
feetive. and on june 5th. the gov
eminent secured the soldiers.
The government mas asked you
to buy Liberty Bond, the gov
eminent needs money. If you do
not respond NOW, revenue
measure will become effective,
and the government viii secure
the money.
"A Liberty Bond IN every home
This is the slogan that has been
adopted, and unless this can become a
reality the United States will resort
to more drastic means to secure the
needed funds. There is no escape. the
nation will get the funds, patriots or
no patriots.
The Liberty Bond is not a charity
case. 1t is not offered for nothing,
and returns are sure. 1t draws 70
per cent interest; it is the best invest
ment on earth, with the best security
The time is short. Your call for
duty has come; your call to the colors
has arrived, and the call is in such a
way that no patriotic citizen can fail
to respond.
If you do not understand the Lib
erty Bond, call up your banker. or go
and see them, they are waiting for
your call, and trusting that you will
make il without solicitation. They
will gladly give you full particulars.
Tuesday, Walter Stolta, of ST. Louis,
Mo, member of the Liberty Dend
committee of the 9Th Federal Reserve
District was in Springdale canvassing
the town relative to the sale Of the
bonds In company with local busi-
