DOES YOUR NAME HAVE
MANY ZERO MARKS?

At headquarters, the permanent
record of the subscriptions to the
Third Liberty loan is being prepared.
Each persons card shows the name
and address and the amount sub
scribed to the first, second and third
Liberty Loans, the Red Cross, the Y.
M. C. A. and each of the war funds.
This card will be kept up during the
war and Will finally be complete
index of the persons patriotism and
regard for duty as citizen.
Some of the cards show a zero
mark in each column. 1t is hard to
believe that some people think more
OF few dollars than they do of their
good names and their country. A
copy OF this record will be sent to
the government.
The opportunity is open to every
one to make his own subscription and
his own record. Do not blame the
committee. The government must
have the money to provide for our
soldiers and win the war. Each citi-
zen should conscientiously consider
the situation and DO his best.

MAN GRABBED THE MONEY
AND TOOK TO HIS HEELS.

A friendly crap shooting" game
between several men Sunday after
noon came to an abrupt halt when
enc man grabbed hundred dollars
and took to his heels. The persons
interested in the game were quite
friendly with John Barleyeorn. One
man had a pair of loaded dice and
when he won 800 throw, the other
didn't like it tall. The latter took
the money and ran as fast as he
could, with the former after him.
In order to stop all bad feelings,
however, the man who ran away
with the money gave it back to the
winner. 1t is not known how John
Barleycorn ever reached Abilene.
