 The farmers are all coming forward and doing their part. I met Farmer U. B. McKoy from the south end Monday, and he said, "Yes, Pm going to take some more bonds, notwithstand- ing I have nearly S2500 already; we must all do our best.
 Then the factories are coming strong in assisting their men. The following formal letter was sent to each of the employees at the Chas. Duff. Inc. factory. It has the right ring and others should drop in along the same line-here it is:
 Brinkley, Ark. April 3, 1918, TO THE EMPLOYEES:
 There is call from our GOV- EMINENT, for the THIRD LIBERTY LOAN. The en- ployees of this factory have new CT yet failed to heed our coun. try's call. We would like for every man in our employ to own a LIBERTY BOND, it is not only the safest investment in the world, but is the patriotic duty of every AMERICAN CITIZEN to help his COUNTRY, and it needs your dollars now to help win this war. The Government don't want you to give them anything. they will pay you 1 l4 per cent on this investment.
 We will buy you a bond, a bond for every employee of this factory. and let you pay 1t out at $2.00 each pay day and carry it for you, and when you have paid the face value of the bond 1t is yours without one cent of in terest for carrying this bond, the bond itself bears interest from date of issue. and this &C., cumulaticn of interest will be yours. We will carry this bond for you for nothing.
 Come in the office and MT. Mitchell will take your subscrip- tion and explain to you all about the plan. z Come on,. let's Go Over The Top" again.

than lack of feeling. He believes women

men they endure surgical operations
better and pass under anesthesia more
