Are you prepared to buy that slib J ertys bond of the third Liberty loan ?,' will be the question asked today by the government and it's representa- lives. when the drive for the money to beat the Hun will be started Preparedness is the watchword of this great strug- :, gle. Not only does it mean prepared :: ness in men, ships and munitions; but. 1t means preparedness to meet the own homes. The government asks us to buy Liberty bonds, that 1t may have ready money to provide for the. boys lover there.n Many of Norwich's young men have answered ithe call sof liberty and justice ; some are over there now, and even. one of the. boys has been wounded He Is on the road
 to recovery and it may have been the result of a Liberty bond purchased by a Norwich citizen that saved his life. Are you going to help save other boys l who are fighting for home and all they hold dear?
 The local committee have organized | in such a way for this drive that practically every person in the city will be reached by soIRe member of the committee before the campaign l closes. On Friday afternoon, on the I eve of the great drive, Chairman c. R. Butts said:. It is imperative that every person in the city should realize that one early subscription may mean more than two subscriptions on the last day
 of the drive. If a person srsbscribes on the first sday, his example may bring in many other subscriptions,
 which it would not do on the last day. Early subscriptions are what we want, and what we are going to get. have every assurance that this city will go
 over the top with even more honor than in the two previous drives. i Robert H. Fisk, sent out by the fed
 eral reserve bank of Boston, will be
 in the city as he was during the last
 drive and will do all in his power to aid the local committee. On Friday
 Mr. Fisk visited several of the sur
 rounding towns and reported that he found the chairrnen in those places en-
 thusiastic and planning for an einten-
 sive campaign. He said that the peo-
 pie were putting forth even more en-
 ergy than they had in the othei drives, Mr. Fisk adds his asgurance tc that of MT Butts in saying that Nor wich will not fall short in the present drive. ..5.s.. '': ' :,
