our Chesterfield model over
coats, is making an Al in
vestment.
For the reason that the
conservative style will be in
vogue next season, and too,
the advantage of all wool
garments now which cannot
be had a year hence.
There are other overcOats,
too, in better models for men
of young taste, and in all
wool fabrics, styles that
won't look bad a year from
now.
Certainly, you won't have
access to such style nor such
quality a year from now.
The price is not above
thirty dollars. A word to
the wise, you know.

The Liberty Loan Test

The test of mans loyalty and patriotism is
his participation in the fourth Liberty Loan ISSUE
Reports to the county committee show that
some communities are doing excellent work and
making fine demonstration of their patriotism.
Other communities are tagging and falling be-
hind The inference is obvious.
Wayne county must subscribe the 81, 100000.
Collectively we cannot avoid or sidestep that OBJ
legation. Individually every man in this COM
munty will be counted. Strikers and slackers
will learn in this campaign that they cannot
avoid buying government bonds. Neither will
they be permitted to buy in quantities so small
that their investments negligible in COM
parison with their wealth.
1t is gratifying to know that in many locali-
ties men and women are supporting the commit
tee might and main. Their love for the dollar is
less than their love for the flag They see only
the one great duty of every American today,
namely, to be an American in every sense of the
word.
Wayne county will raise the $2,4OOOO0. And
every mans participation in the loan will be
known.
The Chicago Tribune puts the issue in these
words:
You can't afford to give thousand dollars
but you could if your child fell ill.
