Our People to
Pay Respect
to the Kaiser

Fremont county people this week
are being given an opportunity Of pay.
ing their compliments to the Kaise.
in the form of $50 16-Inch shells. to
be delivered by Fremont county boys
now fighting in the army of freedom
in France.
One 16-inch shell costs Uncle Sam
$1,000 when it Is ready for our boys
to deliver to the Huns. Uncle Sam
has fixed Fremont county's quota in
the Fourth Liberty Loan at not less
than $2s5. $50. and we are going to buy
that much and more.
When we have done our part we
will have provided the $50 1S-inch
shells for our boys to send ON their
way that they may add speed to the
heels of the retreating Heinies.
To think of Liberty bonds as shells
gives us an idea of what we can dc
in this war These Fremont county
shells can create a veritable hell in
the ranks of a Hun army. They can
carry death and destruction to those
who have been responsible for .ae dev.
astation of the world They can de-
stroy the trenches that are shielding
the murderers of French and Belgian
children. and the ravishers of French
and belgian women. They can destroy
the machine gun nets OF the Huns
from which they are shooting our Ere,
mont county boys They will, in fact,
bring the war nearer to that victorious
end for which we are all walung.
Surely Fremont county will pay for
2S5 and more 16-inch shells by buying
its. quota and more of the bonds OF
the Four.-. Liberty Loan
