ThOuOh HANDICAPPED by the Results
of the Influenza Epidemic.
cmv,na is making an earnest effort
. roacb its quota of 100000 for the
T.n,+b Liberty Loan. Mr.. Eugene
n,ris chairman and Rev.ThOmas .Getz
ual campaign director of the Mems
n.n,r,ittee and Mrs. Samuel ]. Reyn-
"a, chairman of the WOmens Com
.;+toe with their various co-wOrkers
snd canvasers are working incessant-
" 70 accomplish results. Only about
stOoOOO has so far been raised.
Tho need for everybody buying bonds
{ being brought home with telling
effect. Bulgaria has sued for Peace,
austria has sued for Peace, and Germ
onr has sued for Peace. And still
tbe war goes on. There is a reason.
Ne cannot even think about Peace
nntil the "Hun" is licked to a finish.
The allies are making great progress
IN Palestine, in the Balkans and in
France and Belgium. But the end is
NOT vet near. It's still "long" long
wav to Berlin. Of course we have
them on the run, but we must keep
them on the run until they run them
elves off the earth. Now what is the
answer? "Buy Bonds" Simple, isn't
it? Yes, and easy. All we have to do
is to do what we can.
Health Ban on Meetings Interfere.
This so-called Spanish "Flu," which
isn't any more Spanish than it is
French or English, is here, and it is
very materially interfering with the
campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
By the order of the State Board of
Health, no meetings. of any kind may
be held, and this means of arOusing
interest and enthusiasm has been ta-
ken away from US. What is the an
sWer again? Everyone must come
forward and subscribe without wait
ing for the solicitors. We of Smyrna
have been asked to lend Uncle Sam
100000 this time, land we are going to
do in But we want to do it in the way
that will kill two birds with one stone.
This influenza epidemic must not be
allowed to spread and assume such
large proportions here in Smyran as
it has in some other places, so the less
we get together materially the better.
But we must get together in spirit
and intention just the same and put
up that three hundred thousand
promptly. Half of the time for the
drive has passed and we have not quite
reached One-third of the amount. So
We must get busy.
Each Individual Has a Part to Play.
We are in this war to the finish, and
not one of US would be willing to stop
now. We have our part to play just
as well as the boys who have gone
over there" More than that, we are
learning a lesson in thrift that we
nave not learned before. Of course
'ne ideal way is to lend our credit to
tle Government, and pay for the
bonds out of our future savings. But
'nere IN another way, which perhaps
70 some will seem easier. In the Saw
ngs Accounts of the two banks in
smyrna there are on deposit at the
present time almost twice 100000.
anu all we need to do is to go to the
Uallk and transfer our per cent. saw
,lsS INTO United States Government
Donds OF the Fourth Liberty Loan at
"A per cent. Let everyone get busy
HO"' Make it evident to the old Kai-
e' 'nat the American people do not
nave TO be forced into the support of
'ieir government. Let's put this town
~,, ever the top, and keep it on the map.
'O'ning succeeds like success" and
.-e success Of this Liberty Loan may
mean The final success of the war.
Buy bonds!
