the time to back down on that reputation now. 1t may hit the town hard but we must grit our teeth and go through with it. It won hit it as hard as it may hit some of our boys who have gone out to fight our bat ties for us If we think of the Doughboys in the trenches, it will be easier to get out the stocking and empty it into Uncle Sams hand. But remember, you don't give the contents of that stocking away Far from it. Uncle Sam gives you his I. O. U. for it and his se- curity is the very best in the world.
 Today is the day for the big drive. Why not go over the top with the shock troops, and be in the first wave, not the last. Our boys have won big victory in France, and this should inspire the folks to win a victory at home, and hit the Hun so hard with our dol lars that he will be afraid to go farther. We must keep up our end of the game, and give our unqualified support to the boys in the trenches.
 Today is the day to show them what the stuff of which we are made Liberty bonds, investments in the liberty of the world, saf- cent interest It would be too bad to pass up such chance, wouldn't it? A chance to be bondholders in the future peace and pros perity of the land is not to be lightly put aside
 Today is the day to buy those bonds; if you can't pay cash, don't let that deter you. Make your appropriation; take out as many bonds as it will cover, and then pay for them out of that appropriation each month when the payments fall due. You can do it. Take your courage in one fist and your cash in the other and buckle on load of Liberty bonds, today, before you change you mind.

Dying from pneumonia following at
f.cks Of the Spanish influenza, a num-
Ter Of victims In this city are remain
ing unburied, despite the fact that rel
atives OF those who have died and are
unable TO secure the services Of un-
dartakers, have the funds 10 pay for
tha burlals. That these conditions
exist was demonstrated to the pOlice
department today when appeals for
help In burying the dead were received
from two families which had been dis
rupted by the hand Of death within the
past week.
one OF these victims, Joseph kolckie,
aged 30 years, Of No. SOP Elm street
has been lying in the bed in which
nc died since Sunday night while his
wife and two small children, all al
nicted with the same disease are pow
erless. Kolckie, who was employed at
the Blumenthal plant, was i'll nine days
before he died and relatives OF the de-
ceased have tried repeatedly since TO
secure the services Of an undertaken TO
bury the man, but owing to the great
number Of deaths in this city, 1t Is

The morgue, which contained eight
bodies yesterday, was filled again TO-

Total Sale ofLiberty Bonds
in County is But
$4,000,000
CALL Off SATURDAY
LIBERTY PARADE

From returns received from the Clear
ance division at Liberty Loan Head
quarters today, there has been more
than four millions Of dollars worth Of
bonds Of the fourth loan bought in New
Castle county up to today.
Chairman Henry p. Scott, said today,
that the loan committee believes the
community is doing everything that It
can under the conditions in the present
campaign. But he also said that while
this means that One-third OF the loan
quota OF the county has been sub
scribed, its a long way 10 the goal be-
ing reached. Il will need concentrated
effort Of all OF the citizens, with the
we'll ones doubling their subscriptions,
II the campaign is to be made as sue
cessful as prior ones.
Il was definitely decided today to call
of the parade that had been planned
for Saturday. This was due both 10 the
fact that restriction against public
gatherings has not been lifted, and the
inability Of many OF the industrial
plants TO properly prepare for 1t, be-
cause so many OF their workers are III.
A strong argument for the purchase
OF bonds was made today by prOmi-
nent banker. In commenting on the
campaign and the sale Of bonds, he
said.
"The present depreciation OF the dol
lar is a strong argument and should
induce the purchase OF government
bonds.
Since products or wages are high IL
does not now take more than one-half
or thereabOuts Of products or wages OF
normally would take 10 buy a 500 gov
ernment bond.
For instance, with potatoes at 50
per bushel II takes only 30 bushels>to
buy a 500 bond. When normal times
return and potatoes are 80 cents a
bushel the 800 bond will buy 200
bushels OF potatoes.
in other words considering pota- |
toes as potatoes and without regard TO |
prices what one would give for so
bushels now can buy 200 bushels or /
four times as many potatoes when po- |
tatoes are normal.
"These are the times TO buy and keep |
bonds at least until normal |
prices return.
IF a man making s. day can live
on 50 and invest the SO a day In Gov
ernment bonds, when normal prices \
return the bond will buy him two to
three times as much as the SO saved
Will buy now. In normal times he
,an live two or three times as long
should he sell his bond then as the
money he takes 10 buy his bond with
low will carry him. Therefore there's
every reason TO save now and buy
Government bonds"
This morning merchants were ap-
)ealed to TO display the loan posters in
heir windows.
Superintendent Miner. OF the dis
division, himself went among
he stores this morning seeking 20 get
posters displayed.
Both st. Pauls and Grace NJ. z.

higher record. Grace had planned 10 :
