FRIDAY OCTOBER II. 1918.
Now for Hard Work.

Only two more weeks remain for the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, whlcl
will come TO a close on Friday, October
10. There is no doubt, however thai
every waking minute of these two weeks
will be faithfully employed in the cause
and that many minutes which ordinarily
would be devoted to rest and sleep viii
be commandecred for action.
Thus far, for causes well understood
the campaign throughout the country
has Jagged somewhat While many local
districts have met and exceeded their
allotments, the general result is below
expectations But this is not at all sur
prisng when it is considered that during
the two weeks OF the campaign large
party OF the country has been IN the
paralyzing grasp Of an alarming epidemic
attended by SO many fatalities as 10 cause
great concern The amount of energy,
personal as we'll as professional, required
to oppose the lnsidious advances OF tins
unions cen enemy naturallydctracted TO a
considerable extent from the total energy
that otherwise would have been thrown
into the loan campaign.
Under these conditions, il viii hc adj

encouraging Indeed. i i wonderful
