THE CAMPAIGN IS AT WHITE HEAT

BIG WAR SAVING CERTIFICATE DRIVE STARTS OVER THE TOP. YOU LICK THE WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES AND THE SOLDIER BOYS WILL LICK THE KAISER. -- FORGET ABOUT “do your bit” IT IS DO YOUR “BITTEREST.” BUY TILL IT BURNS. THEY ARE NOT “baby bonds” THEY ARE GIANT KILLERS. Judson J. Hunt, Jasper county chairman for the War Savings certificate drive, is putting “pep” into the campaign and is determined that Jasper county shall do her “BEST.” Your Uncle Sam, says: “Come along* with TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Jasper county’s quota of that is $260,880. This is our amount if we do what Uncle Sam requests. This means that every man, woman and child in this nation must buy $20.00 in War Saving certificates. The following is our quota by corporations. After the name of each corporation appears the population as given in the 1910 census. Following the census the quota of the corporation is given in dollars: Barkley, 1,074 $21,480 Carpenter and Remington, 1,968 $39,360 Gillam, 609 $12,180 Hanging Grove, 432 8,640 Jordan, 637 12,740 Kankakee, 406 ..... 8,120 teener, 711. 14,220 Marion, (Rensselaer), 3,692 73,840 , Milroy, 286 • 5,720 Newton, 531 .. 10,620 i Union, 1281 25,620, Walker, 655 13,100 Wheatfield, (Wheatfield i Township), 762 15,240

When Uncle Sam asks the boys to “Go Over There” they do it without a murmur. When he asks us to send our money over there, levs do it. Keep Old Jasper in the front rank. If the “BOYS” know that the folks at home are back of them ;hey will have additional courage to lit the Kaiser a more powerful jlow. “COME ACROSS FOR THE KAISER (HAS.” War Saving Certificates are a good financial investment. They are a much better patriotic investment.
