show that the response viii be better
! than ever before to q marked degree.

The quota for Garland county is
S2S5,250 It win be seen that In these
three days the committees have just
about reached one-half of the quota
assigned to their county Much hard
| work remains 10 be done by both the
| committees of men and women before
they Will have their county go across
with more than the quota assigned
That they have the spirit and deter
mination 10 reach not less than the
three hundred thousand mark was evil
denced at the meeting yesterday
morning before the teams went out
upon their actual canvass.
The second Liberty loan had in this
county about twenty five hundred
subscribers as compared with the COZ
thus far subscribing to the present
issue Il is the purpose of the com
mittee to meet the desires of the gov
eminent and scatter the quota Of Car
land county ever as many subscribers
as possible They desire to exceed the
mark of twenty five hundred
There are two things that act as
spurs upon the committee and also
appeal to those who have a pride in
their town, TO every town that comes
up to its quota the government will
give an honor flag In addition there
viii be awarded every committeeman
and woman worker who is faithful
throughout the entire campaign and
renders conspicuous service an honor
medal These committees with the
CO. operation of the city. is out to win
that honor flag and at its raising
permanent token Of the patriotism Of
, our citizens, the honor medals will be
| presented to those who have earned
them. This will be a public exercise
and a day when Hot Springs will have
cause TO take pride in her active
ment
While there is the desire TO earn
these honorsf while there is IL COM
! petitiye spirit among the various
] teams at work, back Of it all there lies
1.-The thought that the work Of this week
/ and perhaps on into next week will
have a marked effect in winning the
war Al home We are enlisted in the
| service Of our country as much as the
! boys at the front Theirs is the harder
task, the task of sacrifice suffering.
! discomforts. Ours is the task OF sus-
tanning them and supplying them with
all that is needed to win the war II

| buy Liberty bonds you may question
your patriotism as certainly your
neighbors and friends will question it

Of the city upon the parchment pre-
pared by the Liberty loan organization.

you not to be content with buying
fifty dollars when you can afford five
! hundred It is up to you not to buy
five hundred only when you can buy
