To Yon
Are you complaining be
cause "war time" means coal
hortage; less sugar in your coffee; bad
business; less money than you think
you ought to make?
What about the boys who are
fighting for you in France?
For you a little economy
and deprivation. For them the
trenches; the pitiless storms of rain and
sleet; the ceaseless deafening bombard
ment of the guns; hunger, cold and
fever; wounds and death.
That you may dwell in
peace, plenty; and security, they
sacrifice everything, give everything,
brave everything, and face nameless
, grave with a smile and a song.
What are you doing, or giving,
or sacrificing for them?
The
Third '.
Liberty Loan
is your opportunity to
prove the patriotism that to
in your heart and on your lip.
Your opportunity to
show yourself worthy of
tho heroism, the devotion, the
elf-renunciation of your sol
dtera and tailors.
Your opportunity to
share,insome small degree,
th sufferings of thoss who
stand ready to maka the sa
prsros sserilcs for you.
All you can do is little
enough. You simply Uni
ymr money. Do it, and ba glad
that you can do as much and
sorry you can do so mora.

OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF COUNTY
FUNDS SUBMIT SWORN STATE
MENTS REFUTING CHARGES
BROUGHT AGAINST JUDGE
County officials today submit sworn
statements disproving the charge
against County Judge Hanks, that he
has diverted money from the new
court house fund. The oflclal ballot
contains this charge: "That he has
allowed over 1100,000 of the tax
payers' money to be diverted from the
court house funds."
It is shown conclusively that the
total amount collected In cash In this
fund since the Judge went Into office
was 1107.969.38. $35,147.48 was
paid for indebtedness contracted by
the former court, and 172,109.07 In
cash was In the fund on Marco 1,
1911. A total of $71,608.78 of the
levyrfor court house purposes waa
paid In warranta for taxes, and not In
caab. The statement that any money
from this fond was diverted Is not In
secordancewttB tlre-facrsr and la a
misrepresentation.
The affidavits by the several county
officials are submitted to the public In
Justice to tbe various officials who
have charge of the funds and the keep
ing of the records of the county, and.
for tbe purpose of correcting this mis
statements of facta.
