NATIONAL WOMAN'S LIBERTY
LOAN COMMITTEE.

u
There are only FIVE more days of tho
allotted time in which to raise oul
4th Liberty loan quota and thus TO
prove our loyalty to our government
and to our brave men fighting in
France.
Gen. Foch says that if we but show
the same enthusiasm and energy in
getting up the Loan that our men have
in their drive against the enemy, we
will certainly so gloriousiy over the
top. Can we do less when we read
of their glorious heroism?
F.! The time is here for the women Of
our country, our state, and our county
to prove that we are of the same
! blood which flows in the veins of our
brave heroic soldiers, sailors and air.
! men, who are willing to make the gu
preme sacrifice. Dollars, can not be
weighed against their lives
! Don't let any peace talk betray as
into lessening effort, or the false idea
that our money will not be needed il
peace .is soon declared. All the
| thousands Of men In our camps and
overseas must be fed and clothed for
many months yet. Then think Of the
home coming of the boys in France
and other far away countries! Who
would not gladly lend to bring our
heroes home, when they no longer have
to continue the deadly fight agains:
the relentless Hun?
| Let our Joy of the thought Of peace
loosen our purse strings, and make
US determined to do our part in furn-
/ ishing the money necessary to bring
TO a lasting and satisfactory end, the
bloody conflict which has broken up
SO many homes and brought sorrow
to 80 many hearts.
The following telegram speaks for
itself:

Mrs. W. G. McAdoo,
Chairman National Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee"
Newberry county will not fail we
are sure, and Newberry county wo-
men viii not fail. Let us go over the
! top and do our full share in making
Newberry county banner county.
One Columbia woman is doing the
family washing for. which her .hais-
band pays her, in order that she may
buy a bond. Many other instances
could be given of similar cases in
which women are sacrificing in un-
accustomed ways, in order to help
their government, and at the same
time lay up nest egg for themselves
for a rainy day. There is no better
investment than a government bond,
and any person who even at the point
of great sacrifice buys bonds will one
day be glad Of his foresight in 80 do

Have you bought a bond for the

ROLL The honor coming of course to
babies having bonds taken in their
