PARTRIDGE DISTRICT.
The Junior Four Minute Men Liberty
Loan contest was held at the Partridge
school house Wednesday, May 1.
Miss Maize Slattery being the winner
was awarded the certificate. She 10 nine
years old and is in the fifth grade. This
10 the essay which she wrote:
The American people have the most
liberty and freedom Of any nation In the
world, because our forsfathers fought
and died to give US government by the
people and for the people.
This government gives rs free schools,
churches, railroads, post offices and
many other things that make us the best
country in the world.
Now q tyrant has plotted to overcome
the world and take the freedom from all
the other countries and make them come
under the rule of the cruel Kaiser.
This Kaiser told his soldiers when
they went into war to be as cruel as the
Huns and they have killed old men too
old to fight and helpless babies, and
wropged children and their mothers.
Now America has started out to help
overcome this ruler who claims that the
world should be ruled by Ksisers by
divine right instead of by the people.
The German people would not have
done these cruel things II their master
had not told them to destroy all his
enemies and every one who went against
them.
If the Germans bad taken the coun-
tries near them they would have come
across the ocean and tried to take our
country. So America bad to 60 into
the war to keep the liberty that our
forefathers gave US.
Many Of the best young men In our
country have gone to fight and kiln the
enemy but a. We can not all fight We
must find something else to do TO help.
We children In school can help by tell
ing our fathers and mothers and other
people how much the government needs
money and ask them to buy Liberty
Bond.
Iuoy uoSO nOo0y w iOou
for the soldiers and sailors who are risk
ing their lives for their country. They
also need money to build steamers, war
ships, automobiles and airships and to
make rifles, cannons and shells or the
soldiers can not fight.
The government does not ask the peo-
pie to give them their money but to lend
It to them to use for about ten years and
they pay interest on 1t and then pay the
money all back.
When people buy Liberty bond they
are sure of their money, for money 10
the house may be stolen or burned and
does not draw any interest.
Germany knows our country 10 the
richest and most powerful country In
the world but they hope We will be
selfish and not lend our money TO the
government until Il 10 too late.
Uncle Sam says, ~ want to see
Liberty Bond In every American home,"
and We must all help out.
