Of the great battle front, while the
French army, aided near Rheims by
italian divisions, stood fast over the
far greater extent OF the line they de-
tended against fierce assaults by the
enemy.
At the White House, the President
read the account with eager interest

WE don't know just whose bus
mess it is to set in motion the ma
chinery of the Liberty Bond Sale,
but somebody appears to be a lit
tie tardy about organizing the fore
es for the sale. In the cities all
over the country, the newspapers
have been advertising the Fourth
Liberty Loan in large display adj
vertisements for a week or two,
and according to printed informa-
ton and specimen advertisements
sent to us it was the expectation
that the committees throughout The
country would arrange for an adj
vertising campaign, or publicity
campaign in advance of the opening
of the campaign for the sale of the
bonds. The object of this news
paper publicity is to acquaint the
people with the necessity of the
campaign and create sentiment in
favor of the purchase of bonds, by
the means of which much time and
labor is saved the canvasing COM
mitrees. In this county, as usual,
this feature of the campaign has
been entirely overlooked by the
organization having the matter in
charge.

I'll going to the city to do shopping,
with the idea that the goods there
are better or cheaper. As a matter
of fact, nine times out of ten, bet

people to do their trading with the
local merchants, who are helping to
develop and build up our section of
the state-who help to school your
children, finance holiday amuse-

all kinds. AT least be sure that the
merchandise you are thinking of
purchasing is not to be had at home
