Tomorrow, Saturday, the 9th, begins the great drive for the sale of Liberty Bonds, as a third loan of these Bonds to the Gov ernment. It is absolutely essen tial that the people rally to the support of the Government and subscribe most literally to this issue. Our brave sons are offer ing their lives on the battlefield for their country's honor, and they must be supported by the people at home. Let everyone do his or her bit by subscribing for the Liberty Loan Bonds. If you cannot buckle on the armor and go to the front as a soldier, you can help win this war by contributing of your means to the Government and, in this way, provide sustenance for the sol. diers who are gone and those who are to follow. Be a patriot and do your best.
