The work is well under way in Paw
Paw, ard the response up to this
time has been most liberal. There
is much yet to be done however, and
every person in the township is eX-
pected to subscribe just as literally
as possible. The banks of the county
will take care of the loans for those
who have not the ready money to
buy bonds, at five per cert interest
The bonds bear Az per cent, and
the difference is only 75 cents pei
year on each $4,000. For any one
to say then that they cannot afford
to take bond, will be a pretty slim
excuse, and one which will be looked
upon with suspicion. Every person
who declines to subscribe for a bond
will be recorded with yellow
card, and these cards forwarded tc
the department of justice. This is
the time right now. when the govern
ment must know who is loyal anc
who is not. Any refusal to subscribe
for liberty bond must necessarily
be construed as an act of disloyalty
to the country, and America now is
no place for traitor. Is your name
