played, showing the progress of the
game, has increased and from every
part of the county came phone in
quiries as to the result

Earnest Effort to Have Every
Citizen Buy One of These
Loyalty Certificates
PERSONAL CANVASS OF
ENTIRE COUNTY BEGUN
Buttons Showing Wearer is Bond.
Owner Begin to Appear i'm Lady
smith--PubIicity Campaign

Every man and woman in Rusk
county who has money enough to buy
Liberty Bond will be asked person
ally or by letter to buy.
The plan of an active canvass of the
county was laid at meeting of the
county committee of the loan on Mon
day evening at the court house.
L. c. Streater, who was appointed
chairman of the committee by the
Federal Reserve Director, A. r. ROg-
ers, presided. The information was
given that the basis of apportionment
of the amounts for each county was
the bank resources and for Rusk coun-
ty that amount was $110.000.00
This is a great sum to ask of the
county but the committee agreed that
the most determined effort must be
made to reach that amount if possible.
1t was made clear to everybody that
this was crucial time in the war and
all the soldiers in the field would not
win the battle for Liberty if there was
not enough money forthcoming to
carry forward the plans laid to end
the conflict at the earliest possible mo-
ment
1t is not Il question of interest ON
the money or an investment but in
many cases must be done as a sacri-
flee. If the bonds are not sold then
the money will have to be raised by
direct taxes.
Therefore to buy a bond is mat
ter of patriotism. The man who has
the means and does not feel enough
interest i'll his country to buy at least
one $4,000 bond is more of a Stacker
than the fellow who attempts to evade
the draft or keep out of service.
But the bonds are a good investment
and after the war will be at pre-
mium. The first issue has been selling
above par right along.
4 campaign of advertising has been
started III Rusk and groups of the
patriotic business men of every town
in the county are joining i'm the in
sertion of large ads calling the atten-
tiOn of the people to the crisis of the
nation right now at hand.
There is no use to mince matters at
this time. We are at war; We have
not yet felt the pinch and made only
Il few sacrifices. Business has gone on
as usual. But is is perfectly plain that
this condition can only be maintained
by getting into the treasury of the
United States the funds needed to
carry on this war to a successful con-
cluSion.
On Wednesday few buttons show
ing that a liberty bond was owned by
the wearer began to appear in Lady
smith. On Thursday there were
more and before the sale closes on
Saturday, Oct. 9th, there will no doubt
be a great many seen.
Do you want this war to be won by
the L. S?
Do you want it TO win $1,000 worth?
Get your Liberty bond
The, committee for Ladysmith is
made up of II. s. Johnson, chairman,
w. e. Thompson vice-chairman, Frank
|. Hughes, Frank w. Fountain. w. S.

WHY PHALENS CHANGED
PLEA BEFORE WICKHAM
Slip i'm the Effort to Enter Guilty Plea

tered pleas Of not guilty to the charge

The two Phalens, who went to Eau
Claire ON Saturday voluntarily to plead
guilty, were the centers of interest
The story printed in the News-B Budget
was correct. They appeared before
Judge Wickham there, and the war
rant was read to them. They entered
their pleas of guilty but
They attempted to explain to the
judge that while they pleaded guilty,
they did not commit the crime charg-
ed. They said they were there at the
time the assault took place on the
Tony road the night and time as charg-
ed but they did not intend to do any
harm to Culver or Stoffels the two
paper mill employees who were beaten
up.
We'll" said Judge Wickham, then
you do not want to plead guilty to the
charge made in the warrant of intent
to do great bodily harm?"
No, they did not.
"In that case" said Judge Wick
ham, Il cannot accept the plea you
have made"
When they discovered their dilem-
ma they were more than anxious to
plead guilty to the letter of the war
rant but the judge would not per-
nit it and they returned home, Ed
to go back to Jail where he still re-
mains.
All the other men are on bail. 1t is
not expected their cases will be
reached before some time next week.

HOW IS THIS FOR
 PRESS AGENT DOPE?

The following is received from the pub licity department of the Jesse l.. Lasky Feature Film company:
 Now the question is-can one hold Wal lace Reid directly responsible for the theft? The Lasky star has received a telegram from Birmingham, Ala., to the effect that small boy has been arrested there for stealing his photograph from a frame in front of a motion picture house. The mother of the culprit wired Reid asking that he send her offspring a photograph of himself at once so that the boy would run no chance of getting into trouble again. When the Lasky play CTS were informed of the affair they de- cided that the real guilt was upon the handsome stars head and that if the boy were sentenced to penal servitude for the offense, it was up to Reid to share the jail term with him. Wallie's defense is. that Non that principle the treasurer of the United States and the director of the mint should be given life sentences for furnishing embezzlers and others with a motive for their crimes.
