A colored laborer at the International Lead Manufacturing plant was approached yesterday as to whether he desired to buy a Liberty bond or not. Thf. old darky grinned from I ear to ear. "Sure, boss," he said. "Ah '11 buy a bond. I'se too old to fight but ah sure can furnish the ammunishion." It is said that the patriotic colored man is forever hurrying up his gang of workmen, telling them, "It takes a lot of lead to kill the Germans.
