A. R. Rogers Explains Why
5th Loan Must Be Success
TREASURY rs ALREADY ANTICIPATING SALE
NEW BONDS NOTES
Much Money Still To Be Spent
BONDS MUST BE SOLD FITTING


is interesting to know the Ninth Dis
trict's share of this excess will proba-
bly, be Quarter of Billion Dollars,
which is more than the amount of
Bonds the people of this district will
be asked to buy. In other v lords, the
Government is asking us to lend it the
money which it will be necessary for
it to return in cash to people on the
land and all those who benefit from
the expenditures of these people. Sure
ly we of the Ninth District who are
facing period of prosperity, such as
we have never before known, should
consider the coming Loan loan of
thankfulness as well as of Victory.
Of course could advance many 9TH
er arguments as to why we should ap-
proach the coming Loan with a deter
mined and optimistic spirit, but these
will be brought to you in other ways
during the campaign. / have already
gone into the matter at some length,
and for fear you will have lost sight of
the principal point started out to
make, want to repeat that
Victory Liberty Loan Bonds or
Notes will be sold next April. They
must be sold in your county through
the organization that has achieved
such marked success in past loans, and
they must be sold to the very largest
possible number of individuals. These
things must be done in order that you
may finish your job and insure per-
manent peace and prosperity to your
county, state, district and nation.
The perfecting and speeding up Of
the organization that is to finish the
job in your county is your response
bility, and | respectfully suggest that
it is none to soon to begin getting
busy.
Yours for the Victory Liberty Loan,
A. r. Rogers, Chairman.

r. Stewart Returns


Robert Stewart who was injured IN
the recent NJ. and St. L. train wreck
at Norwood arrived home Saturday
night. somewhat marred and biem-
ished but otherwise as good as ever.
Mr.. Stewart sustained several severe
cuts about the face and on his body
but was fortunate in escaping all m
ternal injuries and will be entirely re-
covered from the shock within Few
days. He was the first one OF the m
jured men to leave the hospital. Mr..
Stewart is firm in the conviction
that the M. and st. L. road will find
it expensive business to kill q Scotch
man as he declares he smashed UP 2
couple of cars and tore up stretch OF
track for them. His many friends
and acquaintances will be glad TO
know that his injuries were not more
severe. Several Of the men will be
forced 70 stay in the hospital several
weeks yet and the recovery OF some
Of them is still doubtful. One man
was killed outright III the wreck and
. second one died later.
