NAN THE PUMPS!
To El, And Mrs, Plain, Dependable
Citizens of Idaho.

Ven are the people who are going
to put this Fourth Liberty Loan over.
The committee in charge Of the cam
paign does not feel that ii need have
any fear as far as you are concerned.
You have sons, husbands fathers,
sweethearts over there before Metz
on the bloody fields of Flanders, in
the training camps back of the lines
in France and in the United States
We AT this end OF the line may be
likened to those who man the pumps.
We must keep the water flowing or
the fire will destroy the world. Be
tween us and the fire extends In
never-failing line the bucket brigade
The men and women In the ship
yards the munition factories, on the
railroads in the forests and the
mines, in the ordinance, the quarter
masters the medical departments.
and The host OF other necessary ac-
tiyities, are passing the bucket from
/ hand TO hand and already events fore
shadow the conquest of the flames.
nut the line must not falter
Man the Pumps Too much honor
can not be paid TO the stalwart
Americans who are interposing their
bodies between us and the blaze that
would shrivel Christendom. Yet in
honoring them we must not fail In
honor to those who are making their
sacrifice possible who are seeing that
1t is not in vain Sometimes 1t takes
as high an order Of courage to stay
at home as to go TO the fighting front,
There is no place in all the world
where one can hide from his re-
sponsibility in this campaign. No
loyal American citizen thinks for one
moment Of hiding. September 2S is a
day dedicated to the volunteer, not
to the soldier volunteer but TO the
man and woman who, without com
pulsion but in the serene pride of
their American citizenship march up
to place their name on the long roll
Of honor
Man the Pumps We know what
you are going to do in this cam
paign. You are going to buy bonds,
and bonds and bonds and still more
bonds. You are planning to demon
strate to our allies and to the blood
crazed ruler of Germany that you are
/ behind those boys to the uttermost
penny Of your ultimate dollar.
The committee does not believe you
are going to wait until committee
of solicitors calls on you. Nothing
Of the sort in the campaign. AS
our boys are volunteering their lives,
SO you are going TO volunteer your
dollars. You have been thinking this
thing over during the last few days
and you have decided just how much
you can invest,
Man the Pumpsl Your pride In
your boys, In your county and your
state is going to take hold of you on
the morning of September "a and
march you right up to the nearest
place where subscriptions are being
received. And many Of you who
have figured that exact amount you
can spare from your resources are
going to change your minds on the
day the campaign opens You will
find that you cannot quiet your con
sciences with anything short of twice
the amount you planned to invest
The boys on the firing line cannot
win battles without your help. The
front extends from scissors to sho-
shone county. Idaho, from Metz to
Montpelier and on to the Pacific
coast
Remember Idaho's slogan Don't
Debate It DO it,"
Yours for the Fourth Libert Loan
Idaho Liberty Loan State Central
4 Committee.
