Mr.. Hutson, we feel, is too we'll
known by the people over the

like manner.
AS the county and probate

reason of such service, bette
fitting him for the duties of tn

when in his preliminary statement he called upon Della

Every patriotic American realizes that the Govern
ment needs money TO carry on the war. He or she,
realizes, too that he she must do his her part
gladly.
Virtually every knows at this moment just what
part OF the loan he she take II not It behooves
him her TO take stock OF finances, check up IN

possible.
II is not part Of wisdom TO walt until canvassers
appear. Then the disposition frequently Is to go TO

TO subscribe beyond ones ability.
The financing OF this Is a serious business pro
position Subscriptions to the loans should be in

The governments needs great and probably viii
be greater At the same time, business must be kept
going It is therefore the part Of wisdom to go at the

The only way to do that is to follow Mr. Scotts ad-
vice and make plans in advance.
