Address Was Good.

Miss Dorothy Frooks of New York
City was introduced by C. NJ Harger,
Chairman, and gave fine address
for the third Liberty Loan. Accord
ing to Miss Frooks every person un-
der 1S years of age should do all
the charity work he can and buy
baby bonds, every man between the
ages of IS and 81 should be in the
army and every person over 81
should buy Liberty Bonds. Miss
Frooks described the sensation of GO
ing up in an airplane and stated the
one does not know whether one is
upside down or not while flying
Americans should forget all preiu-
dice against English and fight side by
side with her, Miss Frooks concluded.
Chaplain Griffith made brief talk
introducing the band.
Dave Stanley to Band.
Dave Stanley, one of Abilene's best
trombone players, will leave Monady
for Greeley, Colo. to join the 341st
regiment band. The band will tour
that state n the interest of the third
Liberty Loan. Stanley is the only
Abilene boy to join the band and
the city is mighty proud Of him. The
local board released him from the
draft and Mr.. Stanley is now Musi-
clan Stanley. It is rumored that an
Abilene boy will Join the S41st or

DO you know that every bushel of
wheat now saved means the support
of soldier on the battle line until
the next harvest? AS no soldier can
live without food, every bushel of
wheat is the actual equivalent Of IL
fighting unit. The moral is clear. We
must supply soldiers. But it is use
less To supply the fighters themselves
unless we can also supply the where
withal upon which the soldier lives.
The number of men we can put in the

her of men we can feed in the field.

Two Local Garages Violate
Agreement to Close Sunday

In order to save fuel and light, as
well as man power to meet the re-
quests of the government, the ga
RACES of the city beginning Monday
night pledged themselves to close at
6 o'clock each evening, and after this
hour motorists have found IL possible
to purchase only gasoline and oil,
other repairs or supplies being re-
fused.
Not only did the garages plan to
close at Q o'clock each evening. but
1t was agreed TO close all day Sunday,
only one garage remaining open each
Sunday to take care of cars that may
have met with an accident on the
road. All of the garages were closed
on last Sunday but two. One OF those
who failed to stand by the agreement
to close had signed the card pledging
that IL would keep closed on that day.
Want Public TO Help.
As this is a purely patriotic move
on the part OF the garage men to do
their part in aiding the government to
conserve on fuel and manpower. 1t Is
urged hat the public trade as much as
possible with the garages who have
taken 1t upon themselves to help win
the war. In order to do this. the
public must buy their supplies before
the closing hour and during the week
for the weekend trips.
It is expected that an association OF
the garage men and all persons deal
ing in automobile supplies in this city
will be formed this week The exact
cate for the organization meeting ha'
not been decided upon as yet, but II
is expected that IL will be announced
shortly.
