AUTO DEALER IS
SETTING MARK
(By Associated Press)

San Bernardino, Cal, April 90
Setting d mark to shoot at" was the
method adopted by J. Dale Gentry, a
local automobile dealer, to arouse en-
thusiasm in the Third Liberty Loan
campaign here. Mr.. Gentry is i'll, and
in a hospital, but when a committee
visited him there it found him ready
to subscribe.
"What's the largest individual sub
scription so far, here in town. was
his query.
Five thousand dollars" was the re-
sponse.
"Well, you make mine $500, and
when anybody tops that, come back
here, and I'll set new mark for
them to shoot at. When we get
through with this thing, I'll still be
heading the list" said Mr. Gentry,
and then resigned himself to the task
of getting well so he could sell more
automobiles to buy more Liberty
Bonds.

AMERICAN BLOOD
VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty
By Buying Liberty Bonds
az JOHN LElSH TAFT

There are some tremendous lessons
to be learned from the present status
of the world strife.
One of the most momentous of them
all is lesson to America and Amer
icans--a lesson to you and me--a
personal lesson which we shall do
well to accept in its fullest, personal
application 1t is the lesson OF IN
DIVIDUAL INTEREST in this war.
The blood of American soldiers is
wet upon the trenches, end the base
hospitals are ministering to Ameri-
can wounded. The shadow of the
Death Angel, made in Germany
has fallen across your threshold and
mine. 1t is no longer a thing de-
tached and apart from us. We are
in it. The blood of our sacrifice
resks upon the altar. 1t is now per
sonal affair.
We-you and must back our boys
in the trenches, or forever cease to
claim rank and title as Americans.
The time has come when there are
but two classes in this country
Americana, who are for the war in
which cur boys ere pouring out their
blood, and traitors, who are either
against the war or Indifferent toward
It. And indifference is now, if any
thing, more despicable than antago.
niSm.
There is one thing, at least that
most of us can do to prove our aware
ness of the situation and our loyalty
to those who are fighting OUR battles
over there; most of us can subscribe,
in some degree, to the Third Liberty
Loan.
1t is totally beside the issue to
point out that these bonds are good
investment. The investment feature
is not the thing in question. 1t may
require some sacrifice to convert pres.
ent holdings into holding of Liberty
Loan Bonds. But as far as we can
manage it, you and |, if we accept the
great lesson of the hour and take our
part in the baptism of American blood
which is for the cleansing of the ma
tions and the rehabilitation of the
world, we must come acrOss" and
come quickly and with thankfulness
that it is given to US to do even so
little
