The next Liberty Loan drive is to

are at least 1000 men in the county
who should pledge themselves to sub

and the Oth of April. W ill you be one
of those who will do so? it is that

Probably there arc some persons in

the magnitude anil seriousness of the

are being slaughtered and a long
casualty list is published every day,
the horrors of the war will be more
