PUNTA GORDA TRIES
TO GO OVER THE TOP
In Subscriptions to the Fourth
Liberty Loan
PATRIOTIC PEOPLE PLEDGE
Mems and Women's Committees
Working Daily and Enrolling
Many Subscribers.-List Up to
Saturday Night Given.

Though handicapped at the
start by the want of the necessary
application blanks and other
printed matter, the men S and wo-
mems committees canvassing for
subscriptions to the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan met with considerable
success last week and they feel
confident that, during this and
next week, they will succeed in
selling the entire $34, 100000 worth
of bonds allotted to Punta Gorda.
Many people have been eager,
and practically every body has
been willing to invest in these
splendid government securities.
Both patriotism and self-interest
are moving our people They
know that the bonds are in the ma
ture of a savings bank of the
safest kind. If they put their
money in, the bonds, it is even
safer than in savings bank, for
the government is back of the
bonds and it pays a good interest.
Now add patriotism to this con-
sideration. Indeed, patriotism
should be the leading motive, for
every man, woman and child liv-
ing III the United States should do
all that is possible to help win this
war against the German murder
ers and thieves and establish
peace, justice and humanity
throughout the world.
Our colored people are invest
ing in the bonds to the full extent
of their ability. Their patriotism
and business judgment are be-
yond question. The names of
those of them, who have sub
scribed for bonds are indicated in
the list by (c) placed after them.
