to obtain payments of delimpient in

delinquent property owners to ner

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

every property owner to step up mid
do his bit.
Committees of coiincilmen nnd bus

AND GO HATLESS
As a result of W, S. T'Ren's speak
Ine .visit to this ritv Porter .1. Xpff
rk
and Dr. J. J. Emmons have become
Indicted with U'ltenism, but ,only on
top of tlie heads and not Inside
Just yet.
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

HALE'S PIANO HOUSE, INC.
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. We appeal to you to
subscribe to the utmost of your ability to
