Robert Bernard Bamford was born

came to Denison with his parents
when ten years of age. He attended
the public schools here and took q

For the past three years Bernard fol-

was employed in large department

tive position with O'Hara & Co., at
Sioux City. In August, 1917, he &C.
cepted the position of manager of the
Farmers Cooperative store at Lytton,
Iowa, a position which he held until
he was called into the national army
on the 29th of July. Bernard was
well liked by the officers and stock
holders of the store at Lytton and his
services were so appreciated that they
made arrangements with his father
to manage the business until he re-
turned from government service. I'm.

cases will be dealt with. We predict
that before the end of the week Craw-
ford's quota will have been raised and
even more.
Workers report that nearly every
one was anxious to do their share and
were heartily in sympathy with the
property statement plan at arriving
at each PERSONS quota. 1t is true that
many citizens failed to report during
the day for some cause or another.
Here in DenisOn in the third ward
more than hundred of the voters did
not report. The local committees are
now engaged in checking over these
names and special effort" is to be
made to sell them bonds. s.
C. L. Voss, of Denison, has the dis
tinction of subscribing for more bonds
than any other man in the county. Mr..
Voss signed an application at the Ho-
tel Denison for 100000 worth of bonds.
c. F. Denker, of Denison, was probab-
ly the first man in the county to sign
an application. Mr.. Denker subscrib-.
ed for his bonds last week, inasmuch
as he planned to be out Of the county
on the day of the drive. His applica-
tion was made to the county chairman,
who turned it over to the local COM
mittee in Mr.. Denker's ward on the
day of the drive. 80
The various liberty loan officials and
workers are to be congratulated upon
their efforts in this drive and while 1T

It is essential that the American

make available to their Government
the money indispensably needed for
the war and to release supplies and
labor required for the production Of
things necessary for our own mill
tary forces and for the military forces
Of the nations associated with Us.
One Of the best methods Of bringing
about this result is for everyone to
pledge himself to economize and save
and to purchase. at definite periods
specific amount OF War Savings
Stamps. thus giving concrete evidence
! Of his support Of the practice Of War
Savings.
To achieve this object, there will
be conducted, under the direction Of
the Treasury Department, cam
paign for pledges, eliminating on
June 2Sth, when loyal Americans
throughout the country will be asked
to commit themselves to this program.
The progress Of the war demands
constant and increasing sacrifices.
We are sending our young manhood
to represent us on foreign battle
