Duty and Interest.

Every holder OF q liberty loan bond
and every prospective purchaser in
the next issue of the liberty loan
bonds should bear In mind that the
purchase of liberty loan bond helps
the government Of the United States,
helps the citizens Of the United
States. and helps the purchaser as
citizen as well as being at the same
time a splendid private investment.
Moreover. every purchaser of a
liberty loan bond serves humanity
itself.
One cannot serve his country or
serve his fellow citizens without serv-
ing himself. his family and poster1ty.
The purpose of the liberty loan bond
Is to make the world safe for democ
racy, and every purchaser OF a bond
does something to that great end by
which not only the present but fu-
ture generations are benefited.

The boarding feature OF the school
Is a comparatively new feature. but
1t has been eminently satisfactory as
regards its finance and usefulness.
Pupils from a distance have been
able to attend the school for a little

I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR DIXIE
LAND AND DEAR OLD UNCLE
SAM,

I've done closed up my barber shop
And packed up all my tools.
I've closed my old log cabin up. loaned
Uncle Sam my mules.
My Uncle Sam has called on me to
Come and do my stunt,
I'm going to don a soldiers suit and
Rush right to the front.
CHORUS:
I'm going to fight for Dixie and dear
Old Uncle Sam
You bet l am that's no film fam
And when the drums are beating, you
Won't find me retreating
Nor trembling Ike a lamb.
I'm going in like q lion. don't care how
They're firm
This battle amt no sham.
You'll find me most defying, you'll
Hear me loudly crying
I'm going to fight for Dixie Land
And dear old Uncle Sam.
I'm going to take my razors long.
I'll use them in a clinch
When l get through slashing round
They'll find I amt no cinch.
The musket is a grand old thing,
1t shoots most fast and loud
But a razor Is the only thing
To fight with in = crowd.
Irving Jones"
