this place held a meeting in the
town hall Monday evening for the
purpose of making arrangements
to hold a rousing Liberty Bond
Day here Wednesday, October "a
which has been designated by
Pres. Wilson ms such and rousing
meetings will he held all over the
United States. An executive com
mittee has been appointed which
will take charge of the day and
the sale Liberty Bonds on every
day Of the week until Oct. 81.
Public speakers will be secured
for the day and everybody is in
vited to come to Tabor. In this
connection we remind everyone
that we are in a state of wal with
Germany which was forced on us.
the peace propagandists, pro Ger
man sympathizers to the contrary
Notwithstanding. This second
Liberty Loan must be subscribed
or oversubscribed, since Germa-
ny is watching the outcome of il
and if it is not subscribed, she
will take it for granted that the
American people are not loyal and
that they are not back of their
government and the German ele.
ment and pro german element
have the rest of us handcuffed,
with a ring in u rose and lead
ing the rest of us where they
want to. If this loan fails, it will
show that we are not backing u
young men who will offer their
lives for this, country, and We
surely will then pay the cost o.
this war in taxes--there is no al
formative. There will be number
less patriots who will buy these
bonds, but there will also be .
number who will refuse to bu,
them. For such shakers the State
Council of Defense has a blue card
which will be filled out by the
committeeman, soliciting applica
tions and the man who refuses t.
buy a Liberty Bond will be placed
on the roster'o of slackers and trail
tors who deserted their country in
time of need. Remember, there
will be a record of everyone of us:
the white card for those who buy
and the blue card for those who
can buy, but refuse. This will be
done all over the state, in fact all
over the country for the purpose
of separating the black sheep from
the white.
We have had enough of the trai
tors, and the loyal patriots are
now going to force the issue to
see who is who in this country.
The committeeman r also in
structed all over the state not to
accept as excuse the purchase of
"a $50 bond from patriots" who
are worth SO, 900 or more. Such
men will be placed ON the blue
card, surely. The point is to buy
rs much as you can; not the least
YOU can. The bonds are rs good
as cash and every single mothers
son Of. us is the government. We
should not think that our govern
ment is something aside from us.
We. the people are the govern
ment. The men at Washington
are the men we have selected to
run the business part Of our gov
ernm mt - they're our servants.
Furthermore, if this war is won
by Germany, remember that the
war indemnity she will exact of Us
will make even the most rabid pro
German open his eyes aud gnash
his teeth For instance a man
owning a farm and paying taxes
on il Of 500 a year would then
have to pay, MS his share, 81 900
u year or more. Make up your
mind Germany would then
squeeze the life blood out of every
one of us. Some people don't rea
lie this, but they would find out
