Ministers Support Move
Ministers in practically every
church in the city yesterday spoke
Ion the necessity of the small sub
scribers doing their share toward
the Liberty Loan. Stress was laid
on the fact that only by each man,
woman and child doing their share
in the present great struggle would
our arms finally be able to win the
war. Mention was made of the
share of those not eligible or not
capbale of military service should
take to successfully carry on the
war.
The Liberty Loan was spoken OF
not only as being n present measure
to meet present necessities but
something whose good would be en-
during and would guarantee future
liberty and happiness to countless
generations. Ministers everywhere
recalled that the best young men
of the country were daily going out
to risk the most precious gift in
their possession, that of human
life, and then asked if those whose
only part would be financial aid
would withhold even that assist
ance.
The young men will be con-
scripted, wealth is only asked for,
said one minister in driving home
the great need of the government
for ready financial assistance.
The Liberty Loan licity
Bureau at 313 Market street proved
to be a success Saturday afternoon
and evening. A total of 2S persons
subscribed s2.SOO. The booths open
in several of the stores of the city
also proved a center of interest for
the dissemination of information.
