Saturday of this week, October 10,
is the closing day of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. Van Buren is not yet
I"Over the Top, and the deficiency
here helps to make up the shortage
in the state of approximately $7,0OO,-
900. Many counties in the state, in
Guiding our neighbor Allegan on the
north were "Over Subscribed" the
first of the week. Some precincts in
this county were "Over" the first
volunteer day, but in other localities,
the work drags. Some of the dis
tricts in Paw Paw township are be-
hind, but why this should be so is
mystery. 1t is not fair to the loyal
citizens of this township, the county
or state, to require them to subscribe
for the share of the slackers in ad-
dition to their own part. The quotas
assigned the townships of this county
and the school districts of each town.
ship were all based on property valu-
ations. There is no reason under the
Heavens why one district should fail
to subscribe its full quota, when
neighboring district goes "Over the
Top" the first day. There is some
thing wrong somewhere. Sope have
undoubtedly bought $4,000 bond,
and are hiding behind the button,
when they should have bought bonds
to the value of hundreds or thousands
of dollars. While others plead
financial inability"when they are
more able to loan to the government
than their neighbors who have sub
scribed literally. Then again it is
possible that the "Peace Talk" may
have slowed up Some individuals.
Don't let any one be fooled by the
"Peace Talk" Regardless Of whether
we aref to have peace now or two
: years from now, this loan must go
through. Even if Peace should be
! declared this minute, the government
; must have this loan and probably
t several others before the boys come
| home. "Full Steam" ahead is the
I policy of the government in all war
r activities, and "Full Steam" ahead
4 must be the slogan of every loyal
f citizen at home Don't hide behind
v a $4,000 button if you are able to
: take a thousand, and don't be slack
s or if YOU can possibly get money
