ALL PATRIOTS ARE CALLED

GREAT PATRIOTIC DRIVE TO BE MADE IN INDIANA NEXT WEEK. Ninety-two of Indiana’s greatest men will tour the state in groups of four next week. Each group will visit four counties. The drive will begin Tuesday, Sept. 25, and end Friday, Sept. 28. The purpose of the drive is to arouse the citizens of this state to a reality of the seriousness of the great war in which we are now engaged. . Those who know most of the actual conditions place the minimum duration of the war at three year?. Let every person in this county arrange. to be in Rensselaer Friday afterrioon at 2 o’clock and hear what the men who are to be with,us have to say. The men who come to Jasper county are: L. C. Embree, of Princeton, Ind. Edgar Durre, of Evansville. Frederick Feick, Garrett. John S. BUczhowski, South Bend. Indifference and lack of co-opera-tion will extend the war. This will mean that more of our soldiers will have to give their lives and in the end we will all have to make greater sacrifices than if we will here and now awake to the seriousness of the situation and all do everything in our power to bring the war to a successful close.

Awake, fellow citizens; come out and hear the men who are coming to us with a most virile message. We are in the war. The Gerrrrtfti Tyrant must be defeated and the world must be made safe for democracy. Before visiting our county the four men above named will be at Delphi,"Sept. 25; at Monticello, Sept. 26th; and at Winamac, Sept. 27th. Attend this meteing and you will go home with a better conception of home with a better coception of your duty to your country and the joys who are going forward to fight for the principles for which our forefathers fought.
