Entered at the postotfice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Two hundred men in attendance at the laymen's meeting yesterday afternoon pledged their wuole hearted support towards making the next Liberty Loan drive a success. 1 hat s a great start and will mean mticr when it starts in a month or so from now The men of this county are awake to the importance ot this great drive and there will be no let up short of the goal of success the maximum allotment It was a dandy resolution and was adopted with a sincerity that helps more than any thing else The citizen who interferes with the I food or fuel director or makes harder the work of any of those who without pay are giving of their time, to help the government, is more guilty than he imagines and some clay may see the error of his ways. The time is near when every one must lay aside every personal idea, every thought of politics, every selfish thought and strive tor the great common cause now so paramount. Whatever effects one citizen of this land effects every citizen and there can l>e hut one result if we lose the war—a long seise of real suffering Surely you dec not want to throw away the splendid country whic h you clave enjoyed so much to be replaced by a Russia. Don't procrastinate. Do your duty now. t 5. E. Hite is the food director for Adams county. It's a real job as you % would know if you were to follow iii. J.. one clay. Saturday he- interviewed fifty farmers, answered fifteen long' distance calls, replied tc. thirty-eight letters, spent several hours telephoning and calling upon local people and looked after various other matters which are necessitated by his office. For this work he does not receive a penny. He is doing it because he is a good patriot and for no other reason. This is not his war any more than it is yours, it is no more important forj him that the war he won, titan it is’ for you and you owe him your support.! He is not receiving the unqualified sup port that he ought to have and must have if he takes care of his job. If he cannot succeed, the government will send a representative here who will not handle the situation with kid gloves. .Mr. Hite is trying his best to meet all the- situations as they arise with the very least to , every one. Won't you help him? It is necessary that he trausfe' sugar 1 and flour often that no one may suffer. If you are called in to meet one of. 1
