All is now set for the great Third
Liberty Loan drive for S., 900, 900,

Every county in every state in the
Union, and every towa and city in
every county, is listed at headJuar-

Each town, city and county has
had the quota of bonds it must take
allotted to it, and each will be ex-
pected and must. take the bonds as
signed.
The Financiers everywhere ex-
pected the issue to be much larger
than the $4,000, ooo,o 900 required.
Plans were perfected for a sale large
ly in excess of this. Now with the
organizations that have been effect
ed the quota should be subscribed
in very brief campaign.
Many counties and towns have
advised headquarters that their quo
tas are already pledged, and with a
little work the over subscriptions
will reach sums that will show. the
World that the patriotism of the
people has been aroused to a high
pitch; Will show our Allies across
the water that the United States
may be depended on to do its part,
and will demonstrate to the Kaiser
and all Germany that every man in
this Nation and every Dollar of
Americas wealth will be enlisted in
the war that IS to sweep Prusslanism
from the face of the Earth.
For The Third Liberty Loan Muh-
lenberg County's quota has been
fixed at SI63, 500. The county in
the second Liberty Loan had SI62,-
900 for its minimum; the target was
sass, 900 the actual subscription
totaled S4oS, $50, and was taken by

by purpose and propelled by human
horsepower.
1t plays no favorites.
With 1t poverty can be conquered,
and failure put to flight.
"Victory belongs to the most per-
severing,D said Napoleon-and the
man who proved this against him at
Waterloo said, Hard pounding, gen
tlemen: but we will see who can
pound the longest
When asked by yonng man for
a recipe for success, Bismarck re-
Piled: "you need three ingredients.
The first is work. The second is
work. And the third is work.
Perseverance is persistence in eff
bookkeeping everlastlngly> at it with
heart, mind and soul frm=set On the
desired goal. 1t offers a free field,
and for the man or woman who
sticks, 1t holds out the highest re
wards. The required qualities are
daring, digging and discounting Of
doubts.
The common cause of failure is
want Of application. Each normal
individual has within self the means
of succeeding. Lack of sticktoitive-
ness is the father of failure. Yet so
powerful is perseverance that when
applied even to the most typical Off
spring of this parent, 1t can trans
form a corner loafer into a corner
stone.
History bubbles over with brill
liant examples of men and women
who, thru perseverance, lifted them
selves from unknown depths to
heights of fame.
Without this quality Abraham
Lincoln might have died as sheriff of
Sangamon County, Illinois, and
Thomas Gray, who spent twelve
years on his uElegy Written in a
Country Churchy might never
have got beyond the point Of fur
nishing jingles to the local paper,
The person who thinks success a
matter of luck OF genius has another
guess. Even Shakespeare, who be-
gan by holding horses in front OF the
old Globe Theatre, never could have
reached the summit without perse-
verance.
The biggest and best thing about
this quality, however, is its useful
ness IN the ordinary everyday, COM
garden variety of life and labor.
Just as the constant dropping OF
water will wear away the hardest
granite, so continued effort will over
come any obstacle.
Old Dr. Johnson, sour as a crab
apple and superbly sane, emphasiz
ed this fact by saying, "He that
shall walk with vigor three hours a
day will pass in seven years a space
equal to the circumference of the
globe" This makes a man think.
What people have said about per-
severance, interesting and inspiring
as it may be, IS not to be compared
to what people can do thru perse.
verance.
Yes, l mean what YOU can do.
What you can do when you keep
on after you have come to what may
seem the limit of your powers, the
end of your string.
And all perseverance means, in
the last analysis, is keeping on.
However narrow or steep your path.
1t will pay you to personally prove
this matter for youlself.

SPIRIT OF REVENGE
GROWING AMONG YOUTHS
Recruiting Office at Mason City Notes
Increasing Number Of Volunteers
Eleven Sent In One Group-"Cant
XIII Our Boys and Get Away With
it," Says One.

Jason City, March 2o.-The spirit OF
vengeance lies dormant in every mans
heart ready to arise upon provocat!on
and assert itself as Is evinced by the
spirit shown by eleven boys, who re-
Gently enlisted at the army recruiting
station here in charge Of Sergea"t
Booth.
When the casualty lists were re
ceived here of the home boys who were
killed by Hun vandalism and of the
Iowa BOYS who We're killed and wound
ed in recent battles recruiting business
picked up in Sergeant Booths office.
One man expressed the opinion Of the
eleven recruits when he said with ire
in his eyes:
Those Germans can't kill our boys
and get away with IL and I've come to
enlist for one thing and that is TO get
vengeance"
Major Firth, In charge Of the recruit
ing in the district with headquarters at
Omaha, said the spirit shown by this
young lad was being shown all over the
country. With two casualties from this
city. eleven boys have sprung up to
take their places in the ranks. IN many
places he said recruiting was being
accelerated by the reports OF the cas-
ualties IN France. and for every death
reported the boys IN the vicinity were
responding with vigor as many as ten
being recruited for every death.
The spirit Of vengeance may not be
a proper one to instill but the major
intimated that vengeanc at this time
was not only natural to those at home
but righteous. In his opinion a new
spirit will be born into the hearts of all
Americans when they read the casualty
lists. Kipling in a great poem expresses
the spirit perfectly with his descrip-
ton OF the fighting done by a certain
Irish regiment in India when the men
saw their first dead.
The eleven enllstments caused by
the reports Of Mason Cstys dead Is
the opening OF a new impetus in re-
cruiting according to both recruiting
officers.
Tho following men enlisted and have
gone to Omaha and from there they
will go to Fort Logan
Peter Juelson, Ventura, gas and fame
regiment; Carl A Gulberg and Reuben
Gulberg, L4attner, infantry and gas and
