I GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION To the People of Nebraska: To meet the vast financial de mands Incident to the prosecution of America’s stupendous war pro gram, the government Is calling upon the people of the nation for subscriptions to the Third Liberty Loan. The response of the patriotic people of Nebraska to the pre vious calls of the goverumen in all phuses of war work has been a most enviable one. Our quota for the army und for the navy have been over-enlisted; our obligations to the Red Cross and kindred or ganizations have been fully satis fied. In the last Red Cross cam paign Nebraska stood first per capita of population among alt the states of the Nation. In the re cent campaign for the sale of Thrift Stamps Nebraska again ex celled all our sister states on a per capita basis. Our people have readily responded In the previous campaign for the sale of Liberty Bonds, and I earnestly urge upon the patriotic Nebraskans that they make a supreme effort to eclipse the state’s previous responses to our country's calls by making the coming Liberty Loan Campaign not only the banner one for Ne braska. but for the Nation as well. KEITH NEVILLE. Governor. EVERY MAN’S PLEDGE America shall win this war! Therefore, I will work, I will save. I will sacrifice, I will fight—cheer fully and to my utmost— as If the whole outcome of the .struggle depended upon me alone. I will buy, buy, and still buy, Liberty Bonds! MOVIE ACTORS TO SELL BONDS IN NEBRASKA. The Nebraska Liberty Loan com mittee announces that Douglas Fair banks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chap lin, Dorothy Brooks and Marguerite Clark will tour Nebraska in the Inter ests of the third Liberty Loan. NEBRASKA ADVERTISERS CAN HELP LOAN. The Nebraska Liberty Loan com mittee is asking the advertisers of the state to insert the following or a simi lar sentiment at the bottom of their advertisements: “Remember the third Liberty Loan drive. Resolve to do your part." Advertising solicitors are asked to suggest the insertion of such a senti ment in every piece of copy they se cure. LIBERTY LOAN TO BE ADVER TISED. The Nebraska Liberty Loan com mittee is asking every county chair man to raise a fund to be used In advertising the coming Liberty Loan In every newspaper In each county. : The committee will furnish plates in which can be inserted the names of those who contribute to the fund. The chairman is nsked to secure the funds i so far as possible from those who do , not regularly advertise, so that the j newspapers will not be deprived of any revenue. "RING IT AGAIN." Exact reproductions of the famous Liberty Hell and Independence Hall, In Philadelphia, are shown In the “King It Again” posters which are be ing used In the Third Liberty Loan campaign. The poster, lithographed in eight colors, depicts an enthusiastic throng surrounding Independence Hall while the Liberty Hell rings out Its message of freedom and democ racy. NEBRASKA READY FOR THIRD LIBERTY LOAN. "Nebraska Is ready for the third Liberty Loan,” says Thos. C. Byrne, state chalrmun of the Liberty Loan committee. “No mutter what our Quota, we are so well organized I believe the entire Issue could be floated In three days If necessary. We have the loyal support of 07 chair men, 1,040 committeemen, and by the time the drive starts we expect to have an army of over 15,000 work er!.” VETERAN MAJOR ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS Washington, D. C., April 11.—Major James E. Walker of the national army, formerly in command of the First Separate Battalion of the Natioma’.
