The man who is in position to buy a LibertyJBond and won't; the man who won't sacrifice in order
to buy a bond; is as much of a slacker as is thenan who attempts to evade conscription, for money is
as necessary in this war as are men. Men ho refuse to buy, or who decline to make a sacrifice in or
der to buy, are more friendly to Kaiser Bill than they are to their own country.
Itcd Cross Notes
Every housewlfo In Lincoln county
3ias responded loyally to the country's
call to holp win tho war by conserv
ing our perishable crops; but now that
our pickling and preserving days have
about come to an end, let us devote
our time with renewed ehergy to Red
Cross activities. Wo need many more
helpers in tho work rooms, and abovo
all elso It Is hoped that everyone will
help fill wur quota of knitted garments.
Appeals are coming in almost daily
for haste In completing and sending in
these articles so necessary in mitigat
ing the suffering and discomfort of tho
men who are offering their lives for
their country.
Right hero wo wish to make most
emphatic denial of the malicious false
hood given free circulation through
out the country by German sympa
thizers that tho Red Cross soils knit
ted or any other article to the men in
service.
Don't forget the change in our work
afternoons. Beginning this week wo
