THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.

l
The third Liberty Loan drive is not
far distant, and Idahoans will be ex-
pected to do their part in raising the
states quota just as they did for the
| first and second loans 1t need oc-
casion no surprise If the quota for the
third loan is greater than were the
quotas for either Of the first two. The
people generally and the county coun-
ellis in particular should prepare early
to meet the obligations the Nation finds
itself obliged to request them to
shoulder. Men alone cannot fight the
present righteous war free people is
waging against an enemy that champ
ions the most cruel of atrocities and
reviles the sacred institutions of civil
ization. Money and more money must
be poured into the Golfers of the gov
eminent that vast supplies may be pur-
chased and other great objects ac-
cOmplisbed that gold makes possible.
The matter of purchasing from the
government a Liberty bond is as neces-
sary for those not i'm the first line of
defense as it is to send the flower of
the country to the battlefields. No
Idahoan can longer shirk this duty.
Many of them are now carrying bonds
taken on the first and second issues.
They will be asked to take some on
the third issue. Those who have
not taken any bonds will be urged to
do their bit in the next drive Every
council in the state should make plans
early to check up the former bond
drives in their respective counties to
ascertain the extent of the holdings of
each individual. No man in Idhao
who can possibly afford to make the
investment, should be without a lib
erty bond after the third drive is
completed. Idaho can well afford to
coin the famous French watchword of
Verdun. "They Shall Not Pass" into
I'VE Shall Not Fair
