WOMEN MORE JEALOUS TN FOURTH LIBERTY
 LOAN WORK THAN ANY PREVIOUS ISSUE
By PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Anniston, October 12.-(Special)--I is not surprising that the women of the mas tion have entered with more zeal and enthusiasm into the fourth Liberty Loan drive than was shown in the other cam. paign.

 In numerous homes where flags have shown the service blue, many stars have now taken the golden hue. These stars nlumine and spur on the work, conjure Us to relinquish petty pleasures and com forts. to save, give and labor, to shoul- der our responsibilities and nobly do our part for the heroes who are daily giv-
 ing all for the land of the free and the home of the braye."

With the gift of loved one to service there nearly always comes an overwhelming desire to serve with the great, private army over here.
