Many citizens are paying; up not only the interest they owe, hut alsoj the principal. The money is eoinoifl in last at City Treasurer Samuel's office, and if the response to the ap peal to pay up the interest continues as it has in the past few days the city will have no trouble in meeting inter est on its outstanding improvement bonds. The city officials appeal to every property owner to step up mid do his bit. Committees of coiincilmen nnd bus inessmen were busy today in making; personal calls on property owners anil persiiadinrr theiu to pay up.

In the Klks' club cafe Wednesday noon one of the topics of discussion that came up was the many years habit of Mr. U'Ren of going hatless, which accounts for his heavy mop ot hair. Everyone agreed that to never wear a hat will result In a heavy growth of hair. Now the one unfulfilled ambitions of both Nefr ana Emmons, who are rapidly getting In the bald lieadod class, Is to possess heavily thatched roofs, and during the luncheon dis cussion each was seized with the same idea and broke out with it about the same time. Hence their compact then and there entered Into that from that time on neither would, ever again wear a hat, and to holster up their will power and courage they solemnly pledged that whichever one of tho two was first caught with a hat on his head would have to pay for a fine dinner for all those assembled at tho lunch eon. Those Elks not present at the luncheon but who would like to slip In on the dinner when one or the other back.lldcs should communi cate with Secretary Leo L. Jacobs.

FELLOW CITIZENS OF JACKSON COUNTY: We Are First of All Americans Our traditions, our institutions, our Government are sacred to us. The Liberty we enjoy is menaced by a foreign enemy. We can help to preserve it by buying Lib erty Bonds. Your Personal safety and that of posterity, your country's honor and humanity as a whole, depend upon the success of this LIBERTY BOND issue by the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. In buying such & Bond, you are becoming a part owner of the United States. ' THESE BONDS ARE SECURED: First. By one hundred and ten million people, constituting the Government of the United States and all that these people as a Nation possess. Second. They are an investment, safe, not spec ulative. Third. They are an obligation of the United States, the strongest, richest and most resourceful Nation on earth, and a mortgage on all it possesses. Fourth. Every Bond has the same force and value as United States money. Fifth. A Liberty Bond is in fact better than U. .S. money, as it pays you 4 per cent interest, while cash not invested earns nothing. Sixth. If you cannot shoulder a musket your self, let your money fight for liberty. Seventh. Every dollar invested in a Liberty Bond is so much help to a successful termination of the war. . - ,. You can subscribe thru your Bank, thru your postoffice or thru your employer, wherever you are employed, either by paying cash or on tlie installment plan. ' It is the patriotic duty as well as the. privilege of every employer of labor, every merchant, every bus iness man, every orchardist and every farmer, not only to subscribe for Bonds himself, but to finance his employes, to purchase Liberty Bonds upon easy payments, so that even the humblest worker can afford it. Blank contracts and receipts for this pur pose will be furnished free by the Publicity Com mittee. Every human being who earns money and who has money is to subscribe, should subscribe at once; the greater number of subscriptions the sooner the war will be over, as this will prove to tho world that we are all behind our Government. i We all have to do our duty some in the trenches, some in the factories and mines, in the stores and on the farms, and some at ether work of assistance to our Government... The way you can serve best is to buy a LIBERTY BOND. The life of the nation is at stake. What you in dividually do in relation to the LIBERTY LOAN may determine the success or failure of the war and therefore the course of the nation's history and the world's history for all time.
