Victory Loan Drive Opened
in Rhinelander With Baby
Tank as the Sensation.

Those who witnessed the an
tics and maneuvers OF the baby
tank at Rhinelander last Satur-
day, certainly had the worth of
their money. This baby tank or
"whippet" had seen active SER
vice in France, as was evidenced
by the bullet holes in it's steel tur-
ret and sides, and at no moment
of the day was it anything but
the cvnosure of public interest.
The tank certainly went the
limit of eccentricity in its move
ments-up and down side hills,
knocking over good sized trees,
in fact doing anything and every
thing that the ingenious brain of
man could invent in movements.
1t was we'll worth the trip to see
il, not counting of course the
splendid sight of the soldier BOYS
in uniformed parade and the
three speakers who told YOU en-
phatically WHY you should buy
Victory Bond and get our boys
back home We surely don't
want them to walk back, now
that they have done more than
their share.
