We are feeding, railroads built, billions upon billions clothing and training an army of a are being expended for labor, for transmillion men, and preparing for a mil- portation, for materials and supplies lion more. We have loaned billions of of every description. • The mind can hardly conceive the sums of money required for our war preparations. Yet these expenditures are absolutely essential. , We must win the war quickly if possible; we must carry it on for years if necessary. We must do the job with American thoroughness, let the cost be what it may. Remember, when you invest in your Liberty Bonds, that there is immediate, urgent, imperative need for every dollar you can spare. * space Paid for and Contributed by Martin-Klepper Company Msgr. of Butter and Ice Cream

AN APPRECIATION. A< chalrtunn of tho nrrangomontA i otnmlttoo for the Llborty Bay coin brat lon In Jwcatnr. 1 wish to express my sincere appreciation to the other members of this committee —John T. Myers, French Quinn. C. J. Vogle wede and Herman Conter--and F. R. France, who wuh added later for their earnest, active, and hearty co operation and support. Great credit Is due them for the success of the pageant and the afternoon meeting; and 1 know, without the work they did. the support they gave, the time, the effort, and thought they put into the affair. It would not have been such a fine success. And thorn are others who shared the work, who gave liberally of time, energy, and thought, to make the pageant a successful ami worthy one. J. W. Bosse, superintendent of parade; William R. Kremers, superintendent of floats —and .’who also worked until those under his direct charge were dismantled and the property taken care of; Henry Thomas, chairman of the decoration committee, and assistant with the plans and costuming; 8. B. Fordyce, chairman of tho committee on service flag; D. N. Erwin, chairman of the speakers’ bureau, who co-operated with the arrangements committee fully; J. 11. Heller, of the ipublicity committee, who offered many helpful suggestions; 0. IT. Odell. Mrs. Frank McConnell of the War Mothers, Mrs. Davison of the women's publicity committee; J. S. Stucky, whose ideas on float decorating were found valuable; and to all others —I can not begin to name them all—who participated or assisted in making the pageant the finest the city ever had —I am deeply grateful. and herewith expres my sincere thanks. We are working for the common cause—Justice, humanity and to send the Third Liberty Loan “over tho top;" and when the quota for Adams county has been oversubi scribed -as I believe it will be —all of those who helped in any way in bootsing the drive with this celebration will have reason to feel proud they could and did help. C. F. DAVISON. MR. KREMERS THANKFUL. To all the churches, lodges, societies, and individuals who aided in making the Liberty Day pageant a success, I wish to xepress my hearty , thanks and appreciation. I know that ! without the aid, co-operation and participation of these organizations and people, the parade could not have been the splendid affair it was. I was : given unstinted support, loyal co-op-eration, and every assistance called for. Every person asked, and most of the organizations invited to have part in tho celebration, responded cheerfully and willingly. Those which were willing, but could not, are entitled to their share of the commendation. I feel the Liberty Day effort to start the Third Liberty loan drive was a complete success, and I am glad I could have even a small part in making it so. Again I thank al my helpers and co-workers. WJILLIAM KREMERS, Superintendent of Floats. FOR RAILRo’AD SERVICE Indianapolis, April 8 — Applications for places in the railroad units being I organized by the war department for service in France, will be received by enrolling agents for the United States Public Service reserve in Indiana up to the evening of April 8. The request for volunteers for this service, between the ages of twenty and forty indicate that Indiana will furnish its quota of the total force wanted for immediate duty back of the lines in France. • Operating men of the draft ago especially are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to continue their work in the federal service. They are preferred to clerical help and the attractiveness of the service is correspondingly greater for this class - f skilled men. County enrolling agents are reporting applications daily. These are being forwarded directly to the war department. Men of draft age accepted will be inducted through local conscription boards. Men over the draft age will be directed to enlist at the nearest military recruiting station, in event of their acceptance, notice of which will come direct from Washington. o Jesse E. Eschbach, head of the Speakers’ Bureau for the Third IJberty Loan in Indiana, who has been in charge of the routing of the Jackies’ band, throughout Indiana, after receiving reports of the early days of the band’s progress in the state said that he had never scheduled an attraction in Indiana that had appealed to the people in a more genuine way. Mr. Eschbach in tho last ten years has been in charge of many’ speakers’ bureaus and when ae nuts his "O. K.” on an attraction in this fashion it is a eure bet that tho attraction Is far! above the average of its kind. |
