is TT PATRIOTIC TO
PURCHASE THESE BONDS?

Yes; every American who sub
scribes to the justice Of the course of
the United States in entering and
conducting the war we are now en-
gagged in should subscribe to the Lib
erty Loan bond issue to the extent of
his or her financial ability.
Every American who subscribes to
the belief that an American should
stand by his or her country should
subscribe to the Liberty Loan bond
issue.
Every American who loves America
and is jealous of Americans honor
should subscribe to the Liberty Loan
bond issue. The real success Of the
loan is to be more determined by the
number of Americans participating in
it than by the amount subscribed. The
spirit of the nation is going to be
judged abroad, especially by our enc
mics, more by the number of its
American men and women who sup
port this bond issue than by the mere
amount of money subscribed.

YOUNG MEN HONORED

Last Monday morning the mer-
chants of Covington and the people
of the community at large congregat-
ed in great mass at the First Meth
odist church to pay tribute and honor
to the young men of Covington and
vicinity who are subjects of the Sc
lective draft for military service in
defense of their country against Ger
many. The pastor, Rev. : Robt. A.
Clark, who has been conducting one
of the most successful revivals ever
held in Covington, made it possible
for such service. During his dis
course the minister was never more
masterful. Time and again he reached
the height of eloquence, swaying his
audience at will.
Prior to the sermon the young men
present of military age were request
ed to stand and be counted, the num-
Der reaching 46. Then Col. VIM. San
ford, who has a son seeing service in
the army, offered a prayer that touch
ed the hearts and brought tears to
the eyes of the audience. A number
of others prayed and bestowed eulo-
gies upon the young men who are
already seeing service and those to be
called later.
In conclusion, proposition by Rev.
Clark to the young men to be better
Christians and men was responded to
unanimously, while the choir sang
SOFTLY and Tenderly".
This service will long be remem-
bered in Covington, and to say that
it did good to those present is stating
it mildly.

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's

What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were SO
CALAMITY streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
BURSTING in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there:
Oh, say, does that star-spangled ban
ner yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence re-oses,
What is that which the breeze, Ger
the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first beam
In full glory reflected, now shines on
the stream:
IT'S the star-spangled banner; oh,
long may it wave
Der the land Of the free and the home
of the bravel
Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen
shall stand
Between their loved home and the
wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
Heaven-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and
preserved us nation!
Then conquer we must, for our cause
it is just;
And this be our motto, 'In God is our
trust;
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Ger the land Of the free and the home
