MERCHANTS ARE
IN WAR LOAN
Are Asked to Cover up Bargains If
It Is Necessary to Dis
play Posters for Liberty
Bond Campaign.


A large assortment of posters ad
vertising the third Liberty loan has
been sent to all township chairmen
by County Chairman Dunlap, for use
In stores and windows everywhere.
The supply for Keokuk will be dis.
tributed. probably by boy scouts,
throughout the business district and
it is hoped that merchants will give
them very prominent position in
their windows, as the way to help can
the kaiser.
Some Of these posters are works OF
the highest art, and some are~not so
artistic. Some are in black and white
and some are in colors. All of them
are attractive and have lot Of force
Of appeal in them.
These posters were not designed
to harmonic with the color scheme of
the millinery or the hardware in the
store windows" said Chairman Dunlap
this morning, "since that was imprac-
ticable. But we believe that every pat
riotic merchant will give the posters
sent him the most prominent place in
his windows, even if they do hide some
mighty good bargains in spring styles
or some goods formerly eight dollars
and now down to ninety-eight cents.
Raising three billion dollars to win
the war is not exactly a matter OF do
ing things conveniently, you know"
