The rumors that persist re-

was to the effect that there were
$50 cases Of influenza here when
there are only about one hundred
people here. Another rumor
that the town Of Markville is
burned up came a. surprise to
MarkvilIe people who are living
peaceably in their homes. Other
stories circulated in the town
itself regarding certain Of its

if they were not 80 ridiculous.

The same sharp challenge to battle is sounding for us. We must answer in the same proud way---the way of our fighting men-the American way. We must lend the way they fight. We must show the war-1naddened hun a united American people mov- ing forward shoulder to shoulder, irresistibly, to Victory.

That is the way our men are going into battle. When the shrill whistle sounds the advance, out they go--- their whole heart in the task before them. No power on earth can hold them back.

Our task is to supply the money, the ships, the guns, the shells that we must have to win. 1t Is a tremen- dous task We must do our part as our fig ghting men do theirs---with the indomitable spirit of Victory.
 We must work, and save, and lend with one thought only--TO FIGHT AND WIN.
