WE JAN TRIPLE: BOND QUOTA
 BY SATURDAY

The manner in which the bonds of the third Liberty loan are being sub scribed in Cordova proves more con clusively than any other the actual financial condition of the community, and speaks we'll of the patriotic spirit of our residents. Cordova's quota was fixed at $47,9o0, but at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon bonds to the amount of $132,e50 had been subscribed for. This figure does not include subscrip- tions from Mccarthy and other out lying points coming under the juris, diction of the Cordova district, and which are reported to amount to more than $12,000.
 The big drive closes on Saturday, and with a little effort Cordova can reach the $15O,000 mark, thus more than tripling her quota.
 Every million added to the loan in addition to the original issue of $3, 900, 100000 is an added message of confidence to the boys lover there" and also an added message to the i'm perial German government that their new warfare of disruption behind the lines is doomed to as certain failure as is their fruitless attempt to break the steel wall which confronts them in France.
 This conflict is a war of modern ism. Where in former days stone wall was considered a bulwark of defense, we now find that stone offers no obstruction to a fighting force. A stone wall cannot be pended without crumbling. But steel, the instrument of modernism, can be bent upon itself without rupture. Hence the figure of speech in alluding to the wall of steel which confronts the kaiser on the western front. He may bend it until it is folded upon itself, but never will he be able to break through it.
 And as gold is infinitely more duo tile and flexible than steel, so is it more powerful when built into a wall of support for the steel walls with which our boys are defending democ- racy. And those who are adding their mite to this third Liberty. loan, by so doing are adding their might, and the might of their government, in SUD- port of the great and glorious cause for which, as Americans, we have ever stood ready to make the supreme sacrifice for humanity and freedom.
