A PATRIOTIC POSTOFfICE.

Postmaster N. T. Mercer re-
ports that on last Saturday at
the close of business, he had
sold $2,3OO.75 of War Saving
Stamps for that day, which makes
a total for the month ending
March Both of $S,O77.75. This
is most creditable record for
the Post Master of our little city
and a splendid record for the
county of Adair. Not many of
the large and rich counties of the
state have made anything like
such a comparative showing in
this, one of the patriotic ways OF
taking care of our boys in the
trenches.

Occasionally we read in our ex-
changes where editors make the
statement that their favorite
candidate for office can not be
defeated. They are mistaken
and should not make such decla-
rations. The right man invari-
ably turns up at the proper time.
Without saying a disparaging
word against any man who is in
office. there is just as popular, as
efficient men who have not yet
come to the front, and when they
do their popularity will ring over
the territory in which they eX.
pect their votes as never before
heard by the voting population.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

America is the richest nation
on earth and growing richer every
day in spite OF the most disas-
trous war of history. The gov
eminent of the United States is
the safest and soundest financial
institution on earth. The un-
paralleled prosperity of our peo-
pie is due to the wise manage
ment of our government at
Washington since its foundation,
by wise and God fearing patriots.
The United States Government
is safe and sound and will always
be, because it was founded on
right, and the fear of God.
This government under whose
shelter and protection we live is
calling upon her people to lend
back to her for a time, a small
amount of the money that she
has helped to make. She guar
antees better security for the
redemption of and the payment
of interest on their bonds, that
can any bank or trust company
in the word offer or give.
Compared with the accumulate
ed wealth of Adair county, the
hundreds of thousands of idle
money in her banks that belong
to her people on deposit, the sum
of SAB, 700, as her share of this
national debt to be created in the
Third Liberty Loan, is small. 1t
would be a large burden if only
a few men had to carry it. But
properly distributed as it will be
among all of the people of the
county. it is in no sense a bur-
den, but rather a good and safe
investment of funds that are now
earning nothing for the owners.
Many men of even very moderate
means have an idea that a man
has to be rich to own bonds. This
is a very much mistaken notion,
A government bond affords the
man of moderate means the
safest and most common sense
investment for adding to hi:
estate further accumulations.
1t should not require any Ions
educational campaign or othel
effort of persuasion on the par
of our Committee in charge tt
place every one of the quota O.
these bonds. allotted to Adai
County, within a very few days
But our farmers and bushes
men must know that in a Democ
racy it is the duty of every MAJ
to help, that all may profit an

brave boys in the army, they

himself with honor, and was re-
