There is yet plenty of work to be
done in Van Buren, county for the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Some precincts
in the county went cover the Top"
the first volunteer day, and num-
Der "Went Over" during the three
"Volunteer" Days. Other precincts
in the county are tagging, and there
is yet much to be done. Some of the
school districts in our own township
are yet behind their quota. Wake
Up! everybody, and get behind this
loan to the limit. Don't be misled by
the "PoisOn Gas" peace propaganda
Of the Kaiser. 1t was the former
liberty loans that enabled the brave
American boys to stop the ravages of
the Hun at Chateau-Thierry on the
Mame, and it is those liberty loans
that has enabled those same soldiers
to push the enemy back all along the
line Berlin is yet many miles away,
and remember that it is this Liberty
Loan Money that will keep our fight
ing heroes continually at the heels of
the German hordes until the Stars
and Stripes float over the imperial
palace in Berlin Every citizen who
can possibly do so, must subscribe to
this loan. There are some people, as
chairman Cavanaugh said in Il recent
speech III IL HtlBllDOllIiS OONh, 1h'"
want the neighbor boys to do the
fighting and the washer woman to
buy the bonds. Everybody must be
patriot in this crisis. If you haven't
already loaned your government all
the money you can possibly rake and
scrape, for Gods sake and for the
sake of humanity, do it quick. If
you have bought bond, and are able
to double your subscription, for the
sake of the boys at the front and for
the sake of the babies and children
at home, do it, and don't quibble and
hesitate. Let the full subscription
of six billion dollars go hand in hand
with President Wilson's firm and de-
termined answer to the Kaiser's
"Poison Peace Note. Let it be the
answer of a patriotic liberty loving
united nation.
