he had graduated.

TAKE DOWN SIGNS

G. A. Starring, Publicity Chairman,
Liberty Loan Committee. Brookings,
S. D.-Dear Sir: AS a matter Of gen
eral policy and also from the stand
point of laying a foundation for a pos
sible Fifth Loan, it is very desirable
that all posters and painted signs of
the Fourth Liberty Loan be removed,
thus giving the public mind a chance
to rest and recuperate from the i'm
pressions Of the last campaign and
give us a clean field for impressions
in the next campaign.
viii you accordingly take such steps
as you think practical looking to this
end. Very sincerely yours,
Benz. S. Bull,
Ninth Federal District Director of
Publicity.

ever in my memory. The shock. OF
