SIX BILLIONS of dollars must be
raised by the people of the United
States during the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign To the individual it
is almost inconceivable that such an
amount exists. To the United States
government, however, at the present
time. it is absolutely necessary that
this mammoth sum be realized by sub
scriptions from the citizens of this
country. The State Of Delaware, and
each county and town in the State, did
themselves proud during the Third
Liberty Loan Campaign, but then the
sum was not so huge as that for which
we must prepare to subscribe this
time. Each community will probably
have to triple the quota Of the last
loan in order to do its share in the
task of raising the six billions Of dol
lars. To do this, each man, woman
and child must enlist his financial re-
TO their utmost The time |
has now passed when a canvasser
should be compelled to spend valuable |
or perhaps hours, in sohc-
ting subscriptions from an unwilling
citizen. Each and every one of US
must recognize Immediately our bur
len in doing all that we can do-and
hen some. If you have not already
given this matter serious thought, you
must do so Immediately. 1t is your
var just as much as any other per-
on's. You are the government, and
'ou must shoulder your responsible
ties. Unless you subscribe for bonds
ntil it hurts you are a Stacker of the
worst stripe. The man who can buy
nd will not is not fit to reside under
he stars and stripes. In the same
lass of unpatriotic slackers we
lace those of means who buy spar

Days Grind in
Recorders Court

II was rather "pokey" around the
court of the recorder Saturday morn
ing but Mary Young, Sarah Jackson
and Nettie Pettiway, the three negro
women, who Friday were sent to Jail
for ten days for lettering. proving inn
pervious to previous fines, went on a
strike and refused to work after four
o'clock in the afternoon They had read
OF union hours and they selected every
twenty four in the day not to work.
All claimed they were indisposed and
one had been unable to eat supper and
breakfast because of her illness.
They looked healthy to the court,
who added an additional day to their
time with the warning that any more
such baking" on their part meant
solitary confinemnt in cells.
Police testified that when asked to
help around the police station to keep
it presentable, they were too busy in
the side yard talking about postponine
a dance they We're to give, on account
of being held in jail.
Willie Metcalf, a white boy, was
charged with throwing rocks into the
skydome and nearly striking some OF
the spectators at the performance.
They were others said to be in the
party Dut Iney nau not yet Deeu dT
rested. Willie said he worked at night
and did not throw any rocks. The
court continued the case until the
other boys We're brought before him.
Charles W. Brown, with a Teutonic
accent, WIS charged with chewing the
rag" with an army officer Friday
night and the police had to take him
away as another service man was on
the eve OF walloping him.
It appears that Brown, when he gets
a few layers aboard, is unduly So
ciable. He said that he had been
drinking beers down on the ship and
the police testified that he had some
thing aboard himself which was no,
coffee or water. The court suspend
ed sentence because of the penchani
OF Brown to harmlessly let his tongue
run loose.
Clyde Harrison. a young white boy
was charged with recklessly driving ar
auto. 1t seems that he was alongside
the ice house when a small white boy
ran in on a bicycle and left IL standing
right where Harrison had to come out
The bike was battered. The court
could not find where Harrison was al
fault and turned him loose.
