whole of the object;yes, including

Liberty Bond Bonfire

The great Liberty Bonfire which
was heralded by all the city whistles
and bells, promptly at Z o'clock on
the eve of Liberty Day, was an un.
qualified success. The bonfire itself
was lighted by Governor Frazier, In
front of the Northern Seed company.
At about 1880, just before, the
crowd joined in singing America,
and the "Star~ Spangled Banner" This
after the great fire, Keep the Home
Fires Burning" very naturally, was
repeated time and time again, by the
entire audience, it being especially
apropos at this time, when our sol
der boys are so far from home. Even
the fire wagon, came out and drove
around the block several times, max
ing quite a spectacular showing, both
in appearance and sound. The fire
burned very brightly for some period
of time. No formal departure was
made by the spectators, but the
crowd gradually thinned. This ma
tional idea of having the Liberty fire,
on the eve of Liberty day, is very
beautiful one, it embodies the sym
boil of the Torch of Liberty for the
World and creates the feeling OF
loyalty and patriotic devotion.
