Since Denver has been having so
much trouble to raise the necessary

tion, the Y. NJ. B. AS of Lamar, the
city and organization that Don't

away from the state, by putting II
an offer to do everything the govern
ment asked in that connection. Realiz
ing that Denver's local fights ant
politics have badly crippled her eff
ficiency in matters of state and ma
tional work, Lamar citizens are no
going to see the state lose out or

From the progress already made in
the bond campaign, it appears that
the danger is not that too few peop.e
will subscribe so much that too many
of us will subscribe too little. Even
the minimum amount asked of US,

or an average family subscription Of
at least $4,000. And we will not go

our bit, but our very best.
All eyes are focused on the Liberty
Loan campaign this week. News
papers are talking it; show windows
are shouting it; an active army Of
solicitors is hosting it, and already a

their subscriptions in early.
