Mr.. Redfield spoke for nearly an
hour, but so forceful was his argu-

Judge Boyd.
Col. Hopkins introduced the Hon A.
Hunter Boyd, Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals, who gave an earn
est, interesting talk. He illustrated
his remarks with Liberty Bond he
held in his hands, telling what it
stands for. its real worth, and why
every loyal American citizen should

Judge Boyd advocated the making
Of sacrifices to purchase the bonds.
He told the women to forego the pur-
chase of a fifty-dollar gown and put
the money in bond He said while
we men like to see women we'll
dressed, we'd be satisfied to see them
wearing their old clothes if it was at
a sacrifice of the gown to buy Lib

Capt. L. w. Eberle.
With that firmness, characteristic of
the man, with forcefulness that car
ried weight with every word, and
heard to the farthest corner of the
House of Delegates. Captain Edward
w Eberle, superintendent of the Ma
val Academy, made a stirring, patri-
otic address, brief but to the point.
Starting out, Captain Eberle said
there Is one thing we can do and it is
to show we endorse all that the speak
ers preceding him had said, and put
faith in our every effort
Captain Eberle said their is one
question asked by millions and mil
lions of people regarding this war, it
is, Are you doing your bit to win
this WARP" Il object to bit said Cap
tain Eberle, why should we be doing
our 'bit@ Are you doing you Utmost
to win this war;"
The Superintendent said the Mid
shipmen at the Naval Academy had
subscribed $107 $50 for Liberty Bonds,
and if 1,442 youngsters can do this,
why cannot citizens do it? Every day
we should ask ourselves, Am I do
ing my duty? Am l doing my ut
most?" And we should inspire others
with this. That is the only way to
win this war Our government has
decided to win this war. It's long
pull, strong pull. and a pull
altogether.
When your fellow citizens and those
whe have fought your battles return
from the war. you want to be able to
grasp them by the hand and say, Il
could not be with you. but ] have done
my utmost here"
At thes sclose of his remarks. Cap
! tain Eberle was given prolonged
applause.

| ously taken out bonds.
