One feature of the parade which
brought forth many commendatory
remarks was banner carried by the
scholars of Mount Vernon school OF
Del Ray which bore the inscription:
"Our class pin is Liberty Bond
Button Eighteen members of one
of the classes in the school dubbed
together and purchased a Liberty
bond, the Gazette is informed. That
is patriotism of the right stamp.
The Alexandria National Bank
kept open last evening in order to
accommodate those who desired to
purchase bonds.
Up to the hour Of closing last night
the Citizens National Bank of this
city had sold Liberty bonds to the
amount of S2G,25O to 152 ladies of
the city. Ladies, that's fine!
It is stated that one man in the

and speeches. He is made of the
right Kind of real American stuff,
He is a chap worth shaking hands
with-and so is the fellow who can
only buy $50 worth-ard does.
The banks of the city are to be
open tonight and tomorrow night
from I to 9 o'clock for the accommo-
cation of those who may want to buy

A boy about IA years old walked
into the Alexandria National bank
yesterday and emptying out a lot OF
silver and pennies from bag told
Cashier Perry that he wanted to buy
a Liberty bond. He. had almost
enough money to, pay for a $50 bon"
and will pay the balance at the rate
of 81 per week. That little fellow
will be purchasing larger bonds thar
that some day, as we'll rs other prop
crty. He has the correct idea inside
his head and the right ideas make
the right kind Of men.
It is stated that the Presbytery OF
Winchester has purchased S5o,o0o
worth of Liberty bonds.
Remember the campaign sale OF
bonds closes on Saturday of this
Weekday after tomorrow. Buy that
bond, get button and a clear con-

It's worth whole lot just to kna"
that you've done your duty. Buy
