Be a Fighter and Buy Bonds.

1t is time that we all realize the
country is at war. The railroads
found themselves relieved of the man
agement of their properties over night.
Prices have been set for food and
steel and coal. The draft is in full
operation. 1t is no longer a question
OF patriotism in supporting the gov
eminent, 1t is an absolute necessity.
If the soldiers refuse to fight. the
war is lost. If we at home refuse to
buy bonds, the war is lost because the
government VIII be unable to finance
the operation. The man who refuses
to buy bonds In this great crisis is in
a class with the soldier who refuses
to fight.

The biggest crowd ever gathered
in College Hall was Friday night,
when was staged the popular patri-
otto play Claim Allowed" by our Local
talent. A. H. Olive as manager Ger.
tainly showed his histrionic talent, as
we'll as business manager. All did
their parts we'll. The leading char.
acter "Dabney LaFohl" cast by Prof
Grady Hamm. and that of ''Neb" BY
Flake Humphrey, were the most prom.
inent characters, but all came up SC
fully that we make no invidious men,
ton. The play is natural one with.
out any silly love-sickness, but all
based on American patriotism.
This play has been put on more
local stages than any other play, II
has done no small part in causing
thousands of timid and close listed
people to take bonds in the Liberty
Loan campaign. The play shows the
difference between an American Ger
man and a German-American.
The receipts were over 500. net,
which goes to the noble Red Cross
organization. People came from all
over the county and autos were park
ed on College street like unto city.
Standing room was at a premium and
all regretted that even many ladies
could not be seated. The town turned
out en- masse, and so Of adjoining
towns. All praise is due each and
every one who was on the program.
