BUY LIBERTY BONDS

Have you bought Liberty
bond9 If you are able to do so
and have not, YOU should read the
full page advertisement in this is
sue of the Democrat. This adver-
tisement was made possible by
some of our enterprising and pa
triotic business men, end should
appeal to every patriotic man,
woman and childin CarrolIcounty.
Liberty bonds furnish a splen-
did investment, and the money
will be used in winning the war.
1t will help take care of our boys
'overthere" and make their return,
covered with victory and honor,
possible.
Governor Rye in his speech here
last week said that Liberty bonds
are the spans of the great bridge
over which our boys must come
marching home in victory" He
also said that if we did not win the
war it would be no fault of the
soldiers who are giving their life
blood, but the fault of the slackers
at home, who kept their dollars in
their pockets. He said that the
man who shuns his duty in the war
will be Stunned by society when
he is found out.
There can be no peace" de-
clared the governor, until de-
mocracy, founded on the ruins Of
autocracy, is established"
If you want to help in the war
you can do so very effectually by
buying bonds and thrift stamps.
Do it now, the need is great.

STOPEATING WHEATBREAD


We have fallen behind on our
shipments of wheat and wheat
-four to our allies
They have been forced to re-
duce an already inadequate bread
ration. and any further reduction
cannot fail to have its effect upon
their morale.
France and England are fighting
this war upon the western front.
These nations have perhaps lost
three times as many men in the
last month as we have in the line
1t is patriotic duty that we
owe them. to at least see that the
armies in the field are supplied
and that the people of France and
England are properly fed while
taey are sustaining the soldiers
with an iron ration.
We want to ask that our people
go on a wheatless ration until the
next harvest, and turn whatever
-four they have on hand over to
the county food administrator.
There is no reason why we
should suppress the facts. If we
shall fail to provide food for the
armies, and the food for the
people who have sent the armies
to the field, we should not expect
them to fight our battles.
We are not dependent upon
wheat for bread. Any one of half
dozen substitutes will do US just
as we'll. But the substitutes can
not be shipped, and there is moth
ing that can be sent across the sea
except wheat and wheat flour.
It's hoped that the gravity of
this situation will be sufficiently
impressed upon the people to en-
list their cooperation. 1t means
no deprivation and but little in
convenience to US, but our re-
spouse means everything to our
allies. Memphis News-Scimitar.

Doubling Quotas

It is doubtful if there is town in the United States that will fall below it's quota in the Red Cross War Fund drive, and
 the great per cent of towns are
 going to come near doubling the quota. The spirit thru out the nation seems to be to give every cent possible, no matter how far above the estimated quota that may put the town or community. 200 million should be raised where but 100 million was asked. The need is so great that even two hundred million can not prove fully adeOnate to answer every worthy call for help. Williams must go over the top by fully one hundred per cent. That means a contri- button of four thousand dollars from this small town, but it can and will be done. Having done her full part Williams may look to her neighbors to do the same.

When the Williams del egation reached the Canyon on Tuesday, to aid in the big drive there, over four hundred dol lars had been raised for the War Fund. Before the program started that night, this amount had been raised to $500.
