1t has been said that the time
for preaching and exhortatiOn has
passed, and the Fourth Liberty
Loan Drive will BE carried out with
that idea in mind. Public meetings
will perhaps be held-especiRlly If
we are able to get some returned
American soldiers as speakers. But
public meetings will be in the mi
nOrity; begging" and "arguing so
licitatiOn" should be necessary
rarely, if at all. This Fourth Liberty
Loan is q business proposition. Ev-
cry One Hundred Per Cent Ameri-
can must and will support it-not
,aaa,,se he is persuaded to do so;
not because he afraid not to; but
because he realizes that it Is his
duty and is dOllar-and-cents ne
cessity, as well. The time may have
been once when this was ''the 9TH
er hllow's war Today it is our
war-with our boys playing lead
ing part in winning it-with our
whole nation and our entire re-
sources back of those same boys.
September 28th is the opening
date for the big drive The Holly
committee expects to get it all over
with by Saturday, October 5th.
They will do it-and in manner
not to be ashamed Off you and
and your neighbor and my neigh
Dor all do our and their duty.
In the Third Loan campaign, the
United States Navy bought bonds
to the extent of eighteen and half
million dollars.
In the Fourth Loan it is hoped
to double this sum. Secretary Dan
iels recently flashed message to
every ship and every station in the
navy, asking the men to buy bonds,
to the limit Of their ability.
These men have given up their
homes and their business and their
salaries, for the $50 and up of a
sailor. Yet they-almost without
exceptiOn-buy Liberty Loan
bonds. Surely we at home will
not do less than our best.
Read the big Liberty Loan Ad-
vertisement on another page of
this paper. 1t is genuine! It was
actually written by Holly and
Prowers county soldiers and sail
ors. Ii your own boys letter is not
there, 1t means that he could not
be reached perhaps he is in France
perhaps he Is on the Atlantic
wherever he is, you may be sure
that the sentiment of the other
boys expressed in this advertise
ment, is his sentiment as we'll.
Contracts have just been let for
100000 pairs of shoes for United
States soldiers the cost to he S1d .
