The following verses were writ.
ten to the memory of Guy Faulconer
by N. E. Montgomery:
Once more from "Over There" we
hear
Another life Is lost;
His work Is done, the battle won,
The Jordan he has crossed.
He heard his country's call "to arms
We are insulted by the Hun.
He bade us all fond farewell,
And shouldered sword and gun.
He was so young, we know 'tis true,
But with it he was brave.
And for his country and his home,
His precious life he gave.
He gave his life that we might live
And peaceful praises sing.
What greater honors could he have
Tho he was made king.
And thus his work was finished,
And he in peace shall dwell.
Then to our sad hearts let us say,
"The Lord doeth all things WELL"

LIBERTY BOND
COMMITTEE MET
Making the Big Drive Easier. Mixing Common
Sense and Patriotism. Bingham County
to Take Big STEP
LEARN OF YOUR DUTY

On thursday evening there wa
a meeting OF the liberty bond com
mittee at the court house. It wa
expected that Chairman J. G.. Brown
would have notice of the amount o
Bingham county's share by that time
but the apportionment had not beer
made. .3 9E 81
Some time was spent in going ovel
the plans, and it is the intention tt
try to finish up the task in one day
September 28. The amount to be
raised this time is about double
what was raised In the third loan
Each person will be notified OF the
amount which the committee thinks
ts his or her share and all will be
expected to go to the committee and
make their purchase either on the
twenty-eighth or before that time
so that when the sun goes down on
the first day the committee can re-
port the work finished. IA
The Assessment Plan
The matter Of apportioning the
burden is handled from top to bot
tom on the same plan. Washington
apportions the whole amount to be
raised among the states by taking
the twelve federal reserve districts
as the basis Of division. Each dis
trict .apportions their sum among the
several states in the district. Each
state apportions among the counties,
each county apportions among the
districts Of the county, and the dis
trict committee apportions among
the individuals. The way to raise
the money Is for each district, unit
or individual to respond with what
it is asked for, and while the assess
ment Is not exactly command to
pay, yet II the assessments are not
met 1t handicaps the conduct Of the
war.
When You are Notified
When the individual receives his
notice of assessment, 1t is q state
ment Of the amount 1t is considered
his duty to furnish in the conduct
of the war for that part Of the plans,
and net command from his neigh
Dor. It is the best judgment Of the
liberty bond committees all the way
from Washington down. and If an
individual thinks he has been asses
sed too high he can appeal to the
committee in his district, and If he
can show them something they did
not know before his amount may be
changed, but it will mean that some
body else will have to be raised in
their amount, so ne changes will be
made except for substantial reasons.
The mere fact that a man thinks
some other person may not have
been assessed in the same proper
tons will not be considered, nor the
fact that man lis in debt and has
to borrow the money to buy his lib
erty bonds, north fact that he will
have to lose money by buying the
of these things count
in buying bonds.
Your Credit not Impaired
It may not seem like sound bust
ness to borrow money of a bank or
an individual at 10 per cent and loan
It to the government at 4 per cent,
but this is not merely a matter of
sound business, it is a matter of saw
ing ourselves from defeat and
slavery, and we expect to pay the |
price. The man who buys thou
sand dollars worth of liberty bonds |
and pays 10 per cent interest, and |
