THE FOURTH WAR LOAN DRIVE

The Fourth War Loan is part and parcel OF the Preparations LOT
the about smash at Germany and Japan. The slogan, 'Lets al
Back the Attack" conveys the note or urgency to everyone u us 10
do our utmost to make certain that we do not have another Dun
keroue or Dieppe on our hands. If you have anyone near the pat
tlefront-and who has not-you will want to sacrifice to the point
of hurt to buy extra war bonds.
This is the kind of a war you as an individual cannot brush OH.
You're in it to the hut. Not since the very beginning of the Rep
ublic have the ringing words of the Founding Fathers-"we pledge
II lives and our fortune" -resounded so clearly and so truly.
BECAUSE if we lose. we lose all-not only as a nation but as ndlv-
iduals.
In the big assault, in which men from this comnunlty-men
from your very home and your neighbors' homes-wll be bravlng
every terror a Hitler can hurl against then-you have a JOB &c G.
You can't afford to take the chance that you will not be needed.
Every man, woman and even our children must deny themselves
comforts and luxuries to put their extra money into war bonds IN
order to achieve in some measure the sacrifices which their sons
brothers, fathers, husbands and friends will make in the next few
months, perhaps weeks.
The fateful days are here. In the years to come you will look
back at the early days of 1914 and recall what you did to help
save yourself, your family and your country.
Let's all back the attack!

Dear MI. Editor:
I wish to say a few words in
regard to the controversy aris-
ing over the poem published in
Hardin Tribune-Herald recently,
wherein it seems, the President
of the United States was turned
away from the gates of hell.
Both "A. L. NJ" and "A Reader
took Mrs. B. to task for being
unpatriotic. They both spoke of
our boys on the battle-fronts
and what they would say after
reading anything so vile and
glib. I wonder if it ever occur
red to these two correspondents
that that is the very reason our
boys our fighting and dying on
the far-flung battle-fieldS of
the world today so that Mrs. B.
or anyone else in these United
States could express their honest
thoughts and convictions.
Freedom and Liberty. What do
they mean?
To preserve liberty is the only
use for government. There IS no
other excuse for leglslations,
presidents, courts, statutes, or
decisions. Take from our history,
our literature, our laws, our
hearts-that word, and we are
nought but nodded clay. Liberty
is the one priceless jewel. It in
cludeS and holds and is the veal
and wealth of life. 1t is the soil
and light and rain-it is the
plant and bud and flower and
fruit-and in that sacred word
lie all the seeds of progress, love
and joy. ! believe it was Pat
rick Henry who said Give me
liberty or give me death. Yes at
this writing, we have a perfect
right under our form of govern
ment to criticize the president
or anyone else in high govern
ment circles. Not only do lay
men criticize but sometimes our
Senator's use criticism on the
senate floor, and the same is
published in the congressional
re:ord--Note Cotton Ed" Smith

Already entries have been re-

SC's Paul Iacono, with an $50 time

been on the books since 1888. With
Fulton back in top form after an
injury which marred his eastern

PARADE
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, May %. UP)-
Russia's magnificent military per-
formance against Germany in the
current war provided no surprise
for Arnold S. Denker, new national
chess champion.
Denker-a big, fairs skinned, brown
haired New Yorker-sayS that the
success of Russian strategy was to
have been expected from a nation
stepped in chess for the past 20
years.
Denker, who wound up with the
national crown Sunday after three
weeks of round-robin play, empha-
sizes that "chess today is to Russia
what baseball is to the United
States.
In an interview at his Forest Hills
apartment last night, Denker said,
almost every male in Russia plays
chess, now. For years it has been
taught in the public schools and in
the universities. Back in 1886, the
Russian government offered me a
profeSsorship in chess at a certain
university. 1t was lucrative offer;
but l did not care to leave my own
country. Naturally, 1 felt like going
to a land where chess means so
| much-Where crowds of from $4,000
to 10000 gather to- watch a chess
match. 1t was tempting offer"
Chess experts of the world long
have singled out big Army" as a
man to watch, because Of his hell
for-leather tactics in the Royal
game'-because of his savage at
tack. Now, at 30, this representative
of firm of distributors for canned
foods is the top player in America,
where nearly 100000 participate
in the pastime.
