Paw Paw last Wednesday evening on
schedule time at $50. From that
time until late in the evening there
was a constant stream of people pass
ing rapidly through the exhibits. The
train was in charge of a squad of
sailors and soldiers, who quickly lined
UP the crowds and kept them moving
through the exhibit so that all might
have an opportunity to get a glimpse
of the trophies. The huge shells, and
war implements of every description
brought the war just a little closer
home, iand with it a realization of the
duty that confronts the folks back
home. The job at hand right now, is
to put the Fourth Liberty Loan "Over

be a body blow to the American

ing aid and comfort TO the enemy.
It was announced that the War EX-
hibit Train would be accompanied by
a speaker, but no speaker had been
sent which was a disappointment to
the immense throng that gait"
