met at the McHenry hall, where Mrs.
Whitley gave them some valuable in.
formation in regard to the loan drive.
The ladies of this county have perfect
ed plans for their drive and expect to
better the record they made on the
last drive. The women, like the men,
are expected to go to the township
meeting place and subscribe for their
bonds the same as the men.
The treasury department has an
nounced that the amount of this fourth
loan will be 0,000,000. The bonds
will bear Az per cent interest and
will mature in twenty years, with the
government reserving the right to pay
them in fifteen years if it elects. -
Citizens of Crawford county have a
big undertaking ahead OF them it is
true, but we predict that when the
drive is ended Crawford will go over
the top as usual.

Christian Scientists are a prayerless
people-that they do not believe in
prayer? You probably have; l have.
Do you know what real Christian
Scientist does from the time he awak.
ems each day to the time he goes to
sleep at night? He prays! If there
is any one thing that the Christian
Scientist finds will bring him. peace
health, prosperity and happiness, it is
prayer, and he finds that the more he
prays the more Of peace and health
and prosperity and happiness are his.
Therefore, the more of these desirable
qualities or conditions he manifests
the more you may be sure he prays.
