LIBERTY LOAN HOLIDAY.

Saturday, April 9th, has been de clared a holiday. It marks the an niversary of this nations entry in- to the worlds war and has been set aside as the date for the Third Lib erty Loan sale of bonds. Arrange ments have been made for a patriot ic meeting on that date and all busi- ness will be requested to cease es- pecially during the time of the meet ing. Tuckerman should show her patriotism by attending this meeting Let every business house in town be closed during that hour. Inasmuch as it is Saturday let the people who have trading to do arrange to come to town a day earlier and get their weekly supplies. Every land owner can arrange for this and should do so The failure of any individual or firm in this matter may cause some one to doubt the sincerity of their patriotism. Those who have no pa triotism are slackers and should be publicly branded as such. We hope that Tuckerman will fully meet all demands made of it in this cam paign and that without delay.
 The Third Liberty Loan drive will b, gin April 6, 1918, just one year from the date of cur entrance into this war.
