Liberty Bond committee for Lumber
ton township, and those associated
with him, think that in this section it
will be better, and give better results
to observe some other day in the week.

and the 18th will be holiday in so
far as ordinary business is concerned
those who will be released from their
ordinary round of duties are expected
to devote the entire day to selling
Liberty bonds. The campaign for the
fourth Liberty Bond sale is drawing
rapidly to a close and there is work
ahead in order to put Robson county
cover the top" It can be done and
must be done. And to that end every
one should devote as much time as
possible to selling Liberty bonds
not forgetting to buy as many as they
can themselves.
