There will be no services of any
character whatsoever in any of the
churches next Sunday, owing to the
order of the Health authorities
against the holding of public meet
ings. Why not Il house to house
canvass Sunday of all of The homes
in Cambridge Tor the Fourth Liberty
Loan? There are many persons who
cannot be found at home during the
week, Sunday being the only day
upon which they are at home for any
length of time. This Loan must be
raised; it was never so important that
er and every mother who has a son
in the service should get busy to see
that the public does subscribe; they
have given their sons, the least that
others can do is to lend their money
or their credit.
People must not only lend their
surplus cash, but must lend their
credit to the Government at this
time. There are very few successful
men who own property for which
they paid the cash in full at the time
of purchase, most persons pay part
cash, and obtain credit on the bal
ance And this is the way that Lib
erty Loan Bonds must be bought; be-
cause you have only SO much ready
money is no excuse for limiting your
purchase to that amount. Go the
limit because your country demands
it, and because your prosperity,
whether great or small is due to
the advantages and opportunities
your country has given you. You
owe it to your country and to your
better self to buy until it hurts.
Sometimes one hears people say
that they cannot afford to buy Liber-
ty Bonds. and yet one sees them pay
ing out more for servants, for luxu-
ries, for things that they can do with
out and for which they are no better
to do without than thousands of 9th
ers who are doing so-especially our
boys who are fighting in France
than they are spending for Liberty
Bonds. Raise g great hurrah about
their loyalty, blow their heads off
talking, spend hours. days. weeks and
months boasting about their patriot
ism and upbraiding others for lack
of it, but ask them to subscribe for
bonds, and behold, patriotism has
lost its magic hold upon their ton
CUES, they get hoarse, they spit and
sputter worse than a cranky gasoline
engine.
The Banner will start very soon to
publish the names of all of the sub
scribers to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The name of every person who sub
scribes, with the amount of his or
her subscription, will be published,
and we suggest to the public that a
watchful eye be kept upon the list.
In fact, it would not be bad idea
to cut the lists out from day to day,
and paste them in some place where
they will be handy. After the war
is over there are going to be lot
of subscribers whose names were new
er published and whose money was
never seen or heard Of during the
| Loan campaigns. When the bonds
begin to advance there Will be plen-
| ty of people who will have money
your list and see if the fellow who
boasts of his holdings of U. S. Liber-
ty Loan Bonds then is on the list Of
the subscribers as published now;
that's the way to tell who were real
ly the loyal patriotic citizens at the
time of their Country's need, (and,
thank God, there are thousands Of
them for every slacker.)
Joseph H. Johnson, a well-known
colored merchant of Cambridge died
early this morning as the result of
an attack of the Flu
