One of the principal reasons why the Liberty Loan Organization has designated September 28 and 29 as "Volunteer Days" is to give a final and definite answer to the German claims that America is not solidly be- hind the war It is expected that the subscriptions, great and small, to the country's call for funds on those two days will furnish a reply which will be like blow between the eyes to the Kaiser and his advisers.
 Thousands of prospective subscrib- CTS to the Fourth Liberty Loan have signified they want the satisfaction of applying for their quotas without solicitation. They can display their patriotism more effectively by com ing forward unasked and signing up than waiting for the solicitor.
 On Sunday, September 29, clergy men of all denominations will make strong appeals to their congregations in favor of the loan. Their theme will be the necessity of backing up our men in France by supplying the financial requirement of the govern ment. Exhortations for the day will be to save soldiers rather than souls.
 Busiifess houses are encouraging their employees to swell the number of subscriptions on the two volun- teer days. A mighty impetus is ex- pected to be given to the entire drive by example of the thousands who will surge forward to set example for the millions who will constitute rank and file of buyers of the new loan.
 It is expected that schools through put this district and over the entire country will feature the two-day pc riod of preliminary subscriptions Teachers and principals will explain

HE GAVE ALL HE 1 HAO---H|S LIFE
Unable to Aid Country In Any Other Way Henry Davis, Dead In
 France, Was A Volunteer.

After the publication of yesterdays Independent, in which 1t was stated that Henry Davis, who died of wounds
 in France, could not be identified, it was learned that he was employed on ethe farm of Will Sutherland, few miles south of Newport, for three or four years. When the United States declared war on Germany and the or ganization of the immortal Company E began in Newport, Davis came to town and volunteered his services. He was an orphan boy 19 years old,
 and his only relative was half
 brother, who resides in the northern
 part of the state.
 Davis was we'll known to o. D.
 Watson of this city, who took a par
 ticular interest in the lad, and per haps was closer to the young patriot than any one else in the world. MT. Watson was greatly touched by the news of his death.
 When young Davis heard that a company of volunteers was being formed in Newport he came to town to see MT. Watson. These are the words he used when he referred to l his intention to enlist: "I want to | help in some way, but l have no
 money, and the only way 1 can be of help is to give my services" He
 promptly enlisted, and now he has
 made the supreme sacrifice.
 This brave and patriotic boy was
 as steady as an arrow, as true as steel, and to know him was to have more
 than ordinary regard for his sterling , qualities. There is no doubt that a | mother and father, who left him an
 orphan in the long ago, possessed l these same true attributes of char lacter and sacrifice, and would that they could know of his greatness. He was one of the many courag- eous young men who went from Jack son county with the same spirit, and who are yet leaving, and may God 1 bless them indeed.

WhD You Should Sc A
 VOlunteeY Patriot.

the meaning of the movement, and emphasize the significance of going over the top with early subscriptions. Children will be urged to impart to parents and friends the news of the volunteer days.
 There will be work in abundance for the army of solicitors when the actual drive gets under way, and a bulky showing in names and totals will help those workers in an inestlm- able degree in drawing the subscrip- tions later on which will swell the quotas of the various districts and finally put the loan as whole across with gusto and acclaim far exceeding that of the previous issues.
 Volunteering on the two days does not only mean specifically buying bonds, but as we'll includes every sort of unsolicited service to make the loan I success. Every man, woman and child in the country should become a working unit to boost subscriptions. Everyone is expected to tell his friends all he knows about Liberty Bonds as an investment and patriot ic service, and to leave no stone un- turned to promote their sale.
 High officials in the loan organi- zation believe the two volunteer days will be an important factor in mak- ing the present issue popular one. Every volunteer will feel a personal intrest in the outcome, for the main reason that he has done something to attain that great object. Progress during the heated days of solicita- ton will be closely watched by those who were initial and volunteer work CTS, and until the full amount asked by Uncle Sam is safely in bank avail able for the needs of our boys in France and the other fighting lines.
