Turuey, who, in part, said:
This war is not our making, nor
Of our cOuntry's making. But II is
one in which all America is involved
All OF US who are able to should re-
spOnd to the second Liberty bond sale
to help the boys who have gone to
the front to sacrifice their lives, II
need be, for their country
Only One Choice.
ANY man who is not in sympathy
with the United States in this war
then must be in sympathy with Ger
many. We are asked to loan money
to our government at an adequate
rate OF interest I can see no reason
why our community should not raise
as much. If not more. than il did for
the first campaign. think FL Paso
viii do its bit, as il has on former oc-
casions. FL PasO will do its duty
as Il always has done.
There is not a loyal citizen in this
country who wants TO make a cent
OF profit out Of this world war The
loyal citizens want to do their part by
the government" said bir. Turney.

200; France and Russia. $4,000. 000,-
900 and all other nations involved
y
the United States would spend % per-
cent OF this total or as much as Eng

years OF the war
should Visit the Workers.
1 don't believe in spreading OF
orotory IN the raising OF this fund.
said rabbi Martin Zielonka I'VE all
believe in doing our duty in this

Nlsit the factories, shops and other
the wage earners- This loan VIII be

deducted from the wages OF the wage

saving TO them"
