quarters tonight, at can safely be as
serted that sales are moving much
faster in the early days of this CAM
paign than they did during the third
Liberty loan drive"
Trains Are Moving.
The twcnty-four war exhibit trains
moving through the country are given
much of the credit for the enthusiasm
of first days. Thousands of people
daily are passing through these
trains, reports say, and staying after
the trains have gone to hear speeches
and enter their subscriptions. From
many districts today reports that
the throngs were SO great they could
not pass through the cars during the
stay of the trains. In the New York
district more than $2,O0O,00O of bonds
were sold from the two trains on
yesterday.
subscriptions in New England for
the first two days were SGT 900 900 of
which $45,OO0,00O came from Massa-
chusette.
The Pacific coast had sold $50, ,00O,-
600 of bonds at the close of business
last night, reports from San Francisco
said. Subscriptions in Hawaii on the
opening day were $3,461 900.
The Richmond and Atlanta dis
tricts report more subscriptions than
could be tabulated. Negroes through
out the South are reported to be sub
scribing generously.
In this county tho Liberty Loan
is moving along fine. The
ell over the county are
getting busy, and will put Tazewell
in line with the other progressive
of the State
The campaign was given great
boost in the county Sunday by many
speakers. A large amount in bond
sales has been reported at the diff
crent speaking places.
To the Citizens of Tazewell County:
When will the war end? The |
strength and unity of the effort pun
forth is the answer.
Germany is nearer defeat than ev-
er before but the task remains great. |
1t cant be accomplished by the mil
lions of soldiers i'm France. 1t re-
quires the combined efforts of free
men everywhere. The army must be
supported to the limit by every man
and woman in the United States. The
chance is at hand. 1t came with the
opening of the Fourth liberty Loan.
Each one who can must buy, buy
now and buy to the limit. Any fail
ure to support this loan to an ex-
treme effort borders on disloyalty.
It's a failure to support the boy who
is lighting your battle in France.
There are more than two million rea-
sons why you should buy bonds. Ev-
cry soldier and sailor is a reason. If
the boy at the front gives his blood,
how dare man withhold his gold
The boys at the front are writing
for you deed to perpetuate your
peaceful possession Of property and
your right to live in the lard of the
free. They are writing it with their
own blood. Your purchase of bonds
is the expression of gratitude. Are
you fit to live? Prove it, or do like
Judas and go to your own place.
Tazewell County's allotment is
$556,000. 1t must be raised by the
10th inst. Why not raise it by the
18th and join the whole country in
celebrating the discovery of Ameri-
ca on that date. The strongest ap-
peal can make to you is Duty and
Service. The response will be the
measure of your manhood.
