To all Liberty Loan Committeeman:
Are all of the real red blooded
Americans fighting in France? You
will agree with me that they are not
Now we must prove it. When we
started this Liberay Loan drive nearly
every condition was favorable to a
prompt over-subscription. Now we
have come up against the very serious
obstacle of Spanish influenza. In
some communities the situation is SER
ious.
At the second battle of the Marine
he world was electrified when our ma
rines pushed aside every obstacle,
went into the jaws of He'll, met the
best of the damnable Hun army and
turned the tide, which has since been
flowing toward victory. Each of us is
justly proud of this, proud of both the
living heroes and those who died for
lus. If we are made of the same stuff
of our soldiers, our fighting spirit will
rise with every obstacle, we will put
this Loan over in every county, that
we may have the right to claim that
we, at home are just as true Amcri-
cans and just as good figh ers as our
soldiers. The man in the Liberty Loan
ranks who falls short of his duty in
this campaign is more of coward
and a Stacker than the man in the
army who falters, as on the success

Interesting Items
From Oldsmar

Oldsmar, Fla, Oct. 1.-THE Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign in Oldsmar is
making substantial progress and chair
man Brogden says this town expects
to raise its entire quota. Treasurer
R. E. L. Pryor reports some good
sized subscriptions. VIM. E. Bolles
addressed meeting of the colored
citizens in the A. M. E. Church and
secured $500 in subscriptions. A sub
cimmittee, with Arthur C. johnson in
charge, was appointed to canvas all
the colored men of Oldsmar and Sc
cure either a subscription of a suffi-
cient reason for not subscribing.
The fact that Germany is wobbling
and growing weaker in the knees is
proving a splendid incentive to all real
patriotic Americans to assist with
their money to give the Huns the Sc
we're beating they deserve, in order
that there shall be no repetition of
this horrible war. The Germans are
about seven-tenths whipped now, and
is only remains for us to do the re-
manning three-tenths. 1t would be
foolish to stop with the work so nearly
DONE. That is the sentiment which
pervades vast majority of the, citi-
gems of Oldsmar.

president had called Secretaries Lam

later. The conference lasted two
