Liberty Ball Rolls
Out of Its Path at
Patriots Demand
Big Sphere Takes Sunday
to Visit Town Not on
Its Route
[Staf Correspondence

ROLLING ALONG WITH THE LIB
ERTY BALL, FORT PLAIN, N. Y,
April 21.-The Liberty ball reached
here to-day by violating the Sabbath
and indulging in a forced march from
st. townsville, where it had expected
to enjoy its rightful one day out of
seven of rest. But the ball had to
come willingly. Otherwise it would
have been kidnapped.
AS soon as the residents of Fort
Plain learned that the careless citizens
who mapped out the route Of the ball
had left that town out of the itinerary
they began the formation of posse.
That posse yesterday swooped down
upon the celebrating hamlet. of st.
townsville, where the weary sphere was
about to put up for the day, and an
nounced, by order Of L. M. Weller,
chairman of the Fort Plain Liberty
Loan Committee, that they wanted that
ball. C. B. Miller, chief of the Fort
Plain Boy Scouts, explained that they
hoped to get permission to take it with
them. but that it was going pyway.
1t seemed the part of tact to gyke per-
mission.
So the ball took the road again, and,
pushed by the Fort Plain scouts, rolled
south across the canal to the waiting
village.
The drizzle that accompanied it did
not dampen the welcome it received.
For its benefit Fort Plain turned a
rainy Sunday into a Fourth of July.
Under Captain John Williams the
Home Guard modified and escorted
the sphere into town. Every Sunday
school member in the village, and nu-
merous ringers" were dressed in their
best to receive it.
The Knights Of Pythias and the local
chapter of the Red Cross were also out
in force. So were the village trustees
and the band and everything.
After the ball had been put away
safely in Meyers barn, Mr.. Weller and
other oratorical lights of FortPlain ad-
dressed the crowd, which stood patient
in the drizzle and listened. To-day
the ball will roll back to its mapped
out trail and take up it's legitimate
journey again at Nelliston.

New York is to have a Jewish Liberty

on the East Side will be made occasions
for Americanization work as we'll as
bond selling.
THE two go together" said Mr.. Lam
port yesterday. "When you are making
good American of a man you are
making him a Liberty bond purchaser,
and while you are making g man sec
why he should invest in Gncle Sans
bonds you are Amercanizing him. The
Americanization work that has been
conducted on the East Side in past
months is now bringing big results in
Liberty bonds sales"
A big drive against the Liberty bond
sharks will be part of Jewish Day. A
special committee will direct this drive.
To Drive Out "Sharks"
Although recent publicity has driven
many Of the Liberty Loan sharks out
Of business, a number of them are re-
ported to be still operating on the East
Side.
Their method is to spread reports
that Liberty bonds have deprecated i'm
value, and then buy in the bonds at
something like S45 for $50 bond
On Jewish Day residents of the East
Side will be assured that Liberty bonds
have not deprecated in value. They
will be instructed to take a bond to
bank where they can get part value and
interest. The names of banks prepared
to buy in Liberty bonds will be told.
