Third Liberty Loan Drive u Complete
Suc,ess.-All SECTIONS of Prov
eIy County Respond to Gov
ernment's Call.

The enthusiasm OF the people OF
Prowers county and the magnificent
work done by the organization
throughout the county has made the
Third Liberty Loan drive in Prowers
county the greatest success of all. Not
only the regular organization but an
additional army of volunteers took up
the work at the call of Manager +. M.
Wilson and did splendid work. While
the campaign will not be over for two
weeks yet, enough has been done to
announce that not only Prowers county
but practically every community in it
will be entitled to honor flags when
the final count is made. Bristol and
Hartman went "over the top" on
Thursday night; Wiley followed FRI
day night; while Lamar's big quota
was oversubscribed by Tuesday night.
The other localities followed soon after
and Wednesday night found every sec
ton of the county "over the top" and
waiting for the Fourth Liberty Loan
Drive. Prowers county is one hundred
per cent American and two hundred
per cent game. What Uncle Sam
asks we will give or loan as he DESIRES
Big Patiotie Parade.
One fine feature OF the drive was
the business mems auto parade down
the valley on last Saturday to open
the main drive. About fifty autos
started from Lamar and held meetings
at Center Farm, MARVEL, Granada
Bristol, Hartman and Holly. BY the
time Holly was reached the recruits
made a parade of one hundred autos.
The procession was led by big imita-
ton tank, the conception OF Rev
Cronk of Hartman, and certainly made
Hartman as much the center oil m
terest as the big subscription to the
loan by her enthusiastic citizens. l mere
