Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 220, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1918 — FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY [ARTICLE]

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY

NINE MEETINGS TO BE HELD IN JASPER COUNTY IN THE AFTERNOON. The Fourth Liberty Loan is on its way. The government is asking its citizens for a loan of six billion dollars. Jasper county’s allotment is four hundred fifty thousand dollars. This may seem at first thought like a large sum, but it is very small compared with the sacrifice the boys in the service are making; they are doing their full share; we must>do our full share. The war must be fought and won here at home as much as 'on the battlefields of Europe and Asia. If the war is not won promptly it will TO the fault of the people at horn's. Out boys “over there” are. not faltering or hesitating; they are going over the top. If we are-as proud of them as we should be and as we claim to ibe, we will go ver the top here at home. The State Fuel Administrator has made an order under which automobiles may be used on Sunday, for Liberty loan purposes. The local committee has arranged for a number of Sunday afternoon meetings throughout the county on Sunday, September 28, at which there will be singing and speaking. Everybody in the township in which these meetings are held should attend the meetings. Sunday, September 28, 1918, should be made a day to be remembered in the history of Jasper county. The attendance at these Meetings should be so large and the enthusiasm resulting therefrom so strong that we jyill at once go over the top. Jasper county was the banner county in the state in the Third Liberty loan. We cannot afford to lose our position anxTstanding. We cannot afford to let reports go to the boys at the front from Jasper county that we at home are not doing our full duty. The following is a schedule of the Liberty Loan meetings for Sunday, September 28. All meetings to be held at 3 o’clock p. m., fast time. It is thought best to make the meeting a strong patriotic meeting with as much inspiration as possible, and lo avoid the actual selling of bonds. Following are the places of the meetings and those assigned to them: Jordan —Egypt, Mr. Foltz and Mrs. Barber.

Milroy—Baptist church, Mr. Spitler and Mrs. John Gwin. Hanging Grove—MeCoysburg, Mr. and Mrs Williams. " - Newton—Curtis Creek, Rev. Postil! and Miss Merry. Union—Parr, Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Dean.
