You at home are in the back line
trench.
The fellow in the front line trenches

You in the back line trench, too,

Remember, those brave lads across
the sea are depending upon you to
stand by them. Everything they have
came from the fighters In the back
line trench-the big trench right here
in America.
Perhaps you don't realize the great
responsibility resting with you. 1t Is
just as great as that shouldered by
the brave fellow across the sea.
Be real soldier in the back line
trench, so you can stand inspection
Be good soldier in the hone
trench-Buy Liberty Bonds.
The wars success or failure, so far
as Uncle Sam is concerned, depends
on what you do or don't do.
Save food, help the Red Cross, buy
Liberty Bonds.
Just look yourself over Take an
inventory foy our bank account. Gaze
over your record and see If you've
done your duty as a back trench SOL
der since Uncle Sam entered the war
If you can afford to buy Liberty
Bonds, and don't, then you are aiding
the Kaiser.
Are you that kind of back trench
fighter?

fetal or member af ar local or dis
trict board to do 80. After receipt of
the notice of final classification, pre-
scribed in Section 10, 1t will no long
er be necessary to retain the regis
tration certificate but thereafter the
registrant is required to keep always
in bis possession his notice of final
classification and to exhibit the same
when called upon to do so by any
member Of local or district board or
any police official"
The penalty for failure to carry the
card is Imprisonment for not more

wefi chosen words explained the pur-
pQSa OF the meeting. He then intro
duced the speaker of the meeting. Mr.

Mr. Rees expressed his belief that
this should not only be the Chamber

that the county people are ready and
anxious to cooperate with the citizens
OF Maysville, which would in turn
make us more prosperous CITY and

Among the benefits he felt the farm
err would derive as member of the
Chamber of Commerce were better
roads, markets, solution to the labor
problem and cheaper prices on mer-
ahandtse. We know that the larger
