L-I-B-E-R-T-Y BONDS I Last winter we hoped to have a million men overseas by 1918. In stead of that, when te loan drive cornea off, we ahall actually have there at least a million and a half troops. They have seen hard fight ing and have made good. The plan is for at least 2,000,000 men in France before Christmas, and at least 3,000.. 000 next spring. Our casualty lists are growing. Our wounded are coming back. Tnousands of our boys will never come back. There can be no nppenl like that ap peal. It isnt case of "some day' and "perhaps' 'any longer. "Some day ia hero," and our boys are in the line, in the hospitals, or lying in their graves in France. We enn hepln to talk more about what we are doing; lesa about what we are K"'K to do. The success and the Uvea of the boj over there depend on how fully and how fast we supply their needs. The more they get, and the sooner the;' get It, the aooner the war will end. Every day tho war is prolonged means more of our boys dead and wounded. Every Liberty Bond ehort- ena the war and saves Uvea. $10,000 Loss in Building and Contents; Insurance Is But $4,000 1600 BUSHELS OF PRUNES BURNED Fire Department Arrives Too Late to Save Tinder Dry Structure A loss estimated at 110,000 which ia only partially covered by insurance. waa sustained aa a result of a fire which completely deatroyed the prune dryer two milea aouth of town on the Lebanon Road early today.
