Will the people df Jasper county offer a portion of their means? During the campaign, which will close the last of the month, meetings will be held and speakers will be on hands to make addresses, but none should wait for this, but should go to their banker and arrange to do their part. If we lose this war, property will have no value. A large subscription to the Second Liberty Loan will be as effective as General Haig’s last drive. Those who cannot buy a large bond, can if they wish, buy a fifty or hundred dollar hond and pay for it at the rate of five dollars per month. The bond is a good financial investment. It is the best way in the world to show your patriotism.' If we will furnish war materials there will be no shortage of man-power and the Kaiser will meet his Waterloo.
