BOYS IN BATTLE

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
is now on and every true, loyal, patri-
otic and liberty-loving Smith countlan
is urged to join in the drive. This
Liberty Loan drive simply means
that our people here at home will bat
tie with dollars while our boys in uni
form will battle the Huns with bullets
on the French front; and of course
every true American wants to take
hand in stamping out the fiendish
and intollerable practices Of the des-
potic Germans. Our American sold
iers have succeeded in putting the
Huns on the run, and il we will only
do our part here at home by standing
behind the war activities, chief of
which is purchasing Liberty Bonds,
the all-evil German army viii soon
be exterminated.
Heretofore the Germans have been.
permitted to stand idle and reor-
ganize their forces during the winter
months, but such will not be the case
this winter as the American soldiers
are now in the fight and its takes
something more than cold, rough
weather to halt them. 1t must be re-
membered that the American soldiers
are descendants of those old and fear
less men who saw service on one side
or the other in the Civil War, who
fought as fercely under a cloud of
snow and ice as they did in the glare
of summers sun and were noted for
making long marches over frozen
ground barefooted. But, in order for
our American boys in France to win
the greatest achievements it is very
necessary that they be well fed and
clothed and provided with guns and
ammunition, and that is just what this
Fourth Liberty Loan is far. Every
cent of money you put in a Liberty
| Bond will be used to equip our sold
| iers for battle against the Huns.
| Every man should deem it a privi-
/ lege to buy all the Bonds he can pos
sibly pay for. Also remember, the
/ Government is not asking you to give
this money, but is asking you to lend
it, and you viii receive AZ per cent
interest, which is more than per cent
otherwise.
The Government is asking theUnited
States to buy s billion dollars worth
of Bonds. Smith COunty's quota Of
this amount is 100000. Already a
number of districts have about raised
their share, and Julian Fisher. the
chairman of the campaign, is anxious
double quick time. We all love our
i country, we all love our soldier boys
and want to stand by them, 50 let
every district get busy and make
kshort work Of raising its quota. Be
low is a table as compiled by Mr.,
Fisher which shows what every dis
Y trict is expected to do. The figures
4 are based on the assessed valuation
of the property in each district a.
shown on the tax books, and is fair
and equitable superintendent. Look
over the amount your district is to
subscribe, and let every citizen IN that
district join in with the chairman and
committeeman and see that the amount
is subscribed, then IL will be al easy
matter. Don't forget that when you
buy Liberty Bond you first help
yourself financially, then you help our
500 Smith county boys who are in the
army, and then you .lelp the entire
world by giving a worldwide free
.Iom. Everybody buy a BOND.
Each week until the campaign is
ended, which will be three weeks, the
amount subscribed by each district
will be published. ct every distric'
have that patriotic pride necessary
70 put it over the top
