STATE MAKES RECORD
LIBERTY BOND SALES
Arkansas First State m This
District to Go Over the
Top With Quota
Arkansas was the first state
■ in the Eighth Federal Reserve
district to go over the top in
raising its quota of the present
Liberty Loan, and the third
state in the union to raise its
quota.
The workers have not stop
ped but will continue through
out the state to wait on those
able to take the bonds and
those who have not already
subscribed will not be permit
ted to use the excuse that the
loyal citizens have raised the
quota.
The issue was for$3,0U0,000,
000, but the government an
nounced that it would take all
over-subscriptions.
if the amount is double what
the government called for, it
will be that much more force
ful in demonstrating to Ger
many and her allies that Am
erica is in earnest, and it will
be a great encouragement to
our allies to know that within
a year the third loan of three
billions asked by the govern
ment has been so liberally re
sponded to by the people.
Little Rock was the first
large city in the Eighth district
to raise her quota.
A much larger number of
people have subscribed to this
loan than in either of the pre
vious bond issues.
For Sale—Five passenger
Ford car, in first class condi
tion and almost good as new.

Journal office.
BRITISH ARMY OFFICER
AND GOVERNOR SPEAK
Immense < rowel Hears Speec hes
Here Last Night in Interest
Of Liberty Loan
At the High School Auditor
ium last night one of the larg
est crowds ever assembled
there was present to hear Capt.
Brooks, a British Army Orl'icer
who has seen service on the
battlefields of France deliver
an address.
The 312th Engineers Band
of Camp Pike was present to
lurnish music for the occassion.
Governor Brough also deliver
ed a patriotic address in behalf
of the Liberty Loan.
The crowd was so immense
that not over half the pepole
could get in the house and
while Governor Brough deliv
ered his address inside the
school auditorium Capt. Brooks
spoke to the crowd on the out
side.
Captain Brooks’ war exper
iences have been both varied
and thrilling and some of the
| things as told by him seems
almost beyond belief to people
ovei here who have not seen
the horrors of war.
After Governor Brough fin
ished his address in the audi
torium, he then spoke to the
people on the outside and Cap
tain Brooks addressed the
people in the auditorium.
Both speaders were given
close attention, and after the
close of the speaking Prof. W.
A. Isgrig made a short talk and
asked for subscriptions to Lib
erty Bonds, when $4,900 was
subscribed.

Doesn’t it make you “sweat blood” to think
what would become of those you love, and who
are dependent on you, should you die penniless?
That does not happen to the man with
money. He has done his duty. He saves his
money and puts it in the Bank where it is safe
from fire, burglars or his own extravagance.
Put YOUR money in OUR bank.

lately after the arrival of the
governor and his party, the
entire party were taken in au
tomobiles and driven over our
line farming country south of
town. Capt. Brooks in his
speech paid a high compliment
to our famous Big Bottom. He
said he had seen all the fa
mous beauty spots in Ireland,
but stated that he had never
seen anything to surpass the
beauty of the wonderful fields
of alfalfa in our famous Big
Bottom.
The entire party spent the
night here and this morning
were driven to Sulphur Rock,
where Governor Brough and
Captain Brooks were billed to
speak at 10 o’clock.

WHY INVEST IN BONDS
It is Easier Than to Pay Trib
ute to the Kaiser
It took you a long time to
wake up to the war, but, now
that the ruthless German war
machine is battering at the
gates of Paris and threatening
the line of communication Pom
England to France, you are be
ginning to realize that America
is also menaced.
Failure to support the gov
ernment, which means failure
to back the army in France,
(would bring disaster and shame
upon every American citizen.
Invest in Liberty Bonds and
receive the interest on your
money and a final return of the
principal or you will nay trib
ute to the Kaiser and get noth
ing in return.
UNITED STATES NAVY
NEEDS MORE RECRUITS
Navy Offers Splendid Oppor
tunity For Servive for Dur
ation of the War
A United States Recruiting
Office* under the command of
Ensign L- J. Gottschalk of the
Little Rock Recruiting District,
is visiting cities anil towns in
Arkansas for the purpose of re
cruting for “Uncle Sam’s” first
line of defense, the Navy.
The Navy Department ha>
authorized the unlimited en
listment of men in the Naval
Reserve Force for the duration
of the present war, and for not
over four years should the war
be of longer duration.
Drafted men are also elgible
providing they obtain a state
ment from their local board to
the effect that they are not
required in the current quota.
Men between 18 and 40
years of age, of sound mental
and physical condition, and of
good moral character are want

ambitious there is no better
way to serve his country and
at the same time learn a trade
or become more proficient in
the one he has, as there are
fifty odd trades used in the
Navy.
Pay ranges between $32.00
and $100 00 per month, and in
addition each man receives one
full outfit of clothing, board
and lodging and medical atten
dance, and the Navy offers the
I same allotment and insurance
advantages as the Army.
