MUST MAKE ANOTHER DRIVE

JASPER COUNTY IS SHORT IN ITS PURCHASE OF WAR SAVING STAMPS. Jasper county has made an enviable record in all war activities. Every demand made upon tike people, whether for men or money, for service or sacrifice, ‘has been answered by a 100 per cent or better reply. The people of the county have over-«ttb-acribed their quota of Liberty bonds. They have given freely and met aH demands of the Red Cross, Young Men’s Christian association, the Knights of Columbus and other deserving war activities. However, in the matter of War Saving certificates, we are at a 50 per cent basis. There must he sold in this county about $125,000 in War Saving certificates by January Ist if our good record is not to he maned. Judson J. Hunt, secretary-treasurer of The Trust & Savings Bank, is the ■county chairman of the War Savings drive, and it seems that H wiH he necessary for us to put on a drive in order that this money needed by the government may be forthcoming. To raise this amount it will be necessary fur a number of people is the county to buy up to the hmrt, which is $1,000.00. In many families SI,OOO for each member should be purchased. Let this be called the “Victory Drive,’’ mid let all /who buy saving certificates feel that they are furnishing money with which to boring the boys borne. War Savings certificates are a better investment than government bonds. They pay a better rate of interest and mature sooner. They may cashed, at any time. They are tax exempt. ' Go to youT hanker and find out about this investment It is a good one financially and yon have never had a better chance to show that you are a real patrioti than now. The enthusiasm of the war is over, but the great joy of victory and the return of the soldiers Should inspire aH to continue to respond 100 per cent true to the needs of the government. What shall Jasper county’s record in the matter of purchasing War Savings certificates be? W 1 it be an oversubscription or a slacker’s mite?
