ARKANSAS’ FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN QUOTA
Nearly 24 Million Expected
From State—This County
to Raise $350,000
Arkansas’ Quota in the
Fourth Liberty Loan is $23,
842,000, according to an offic
ial announcement from the
Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict Headquarters at St. Louis.
The state’s quota in, the
Third Liberty Loan was $15,
000,000.
Independence county’s quota
is $.350,000. Our quota in the
Third Liberty Loan was $212,
000. Big Bottom township’s
quota for the Fourth Loan is
$47,000, an increase of $15,
000 oevr our quota in the Third
Loan.
Our township and cur coun
ty must not fail to raise their
quota for we must carry our
part of the load. It is up to
us as loyal patriotic citizens to
do our full share as our sons
and our neighbors’ sons are
doing their full share on the
blood-soaked battlefields of
France. They are GIVING
their lives. Surely we can de
ny ourselves some things and
LOAN our money to help keep
them supplied with guns and
ammunition. It is up to us.
Don’t get the idea that it is
not up to you to buy Liberty
Bonds. Don’t go around with
the impression that you have
done your part if you have sub
scribed to any or all of the pro
ceeding loans.
There are certain whisper
ers who would like to have you
believe that this is a “rich
man's war.” Such people are
either on the Kaiser’s payroll
or ought to l>e.
This is your war in every
sense of the word. The men
hi Olive drab and steel hel
mets are fighting your battles
and don’t you forget it.
They are fighting your war
in Europe, in order that it may
not have to be fought on this
side of the water. The kaiser
hopes to defeat the Allies, sei
ze England’s navy and bring
the war to* American soil. At
least he did hope to do so, be
fore American men and Ameri
can Liberty Loan money and
American ships manned by
American seamen started him
back toward Berlin.
And don’t forget it will take
more men and more money, a
great deal more, to keep him
traveling. This war is not over
yet and it is our war.

The Princes of Germany are
Shaking Dice for America
LY HEALERT QUI.CK
Vv'c must buy bonds to the
uist cent of our ability because
our country is lighting for its
iy life. Make no mistake
;:‘zens of Arqerica the crisis is
...si that—we are lighting for
vr very life.
V. e must fight, this war
hreugh. We must tight it
through to a peace, the basis
)f which will be written by us
.nd cur Allies.
Germany must not write a
.angle clause in the Treaty, She
must be whipped until she will
sign a treaty, every word of
which will be drawn by the Al
lies. Germany must not be
allowed to dot an “i” or cross
a “t.”
Why?
Because Germany has be
come nothing but a robber em
pire, a murderer empire, an
empire every purpose of which
is the enslavement of the rest
of the world. Such purposes
admit of no compromise. We
must conquer or die. If we do
not conquer, we will neverthe
less die—and die slaves.
Germany began with the in
tention of robbing France of
ler irtn, her coal, her best land
and her great factories; of
training the Belgian Coast from
which she might conquer Eng
land and of combining under
her flag the h.rdes of Moham
medan Turks, and all the Balk
an States, so that she might
train soldiers in countless mil
lions, build navies to sweep the
oceans, and conqUer the world.
This war was to be a step to
ward world conquest.
If we do not fight the war
through to complete victory
she will keep on and she will
succeed. She will surely suc
ceed !
Russia with her nearly 200,
300,000 people lies prostrate at
Germany’s feet- Germany
could now give up the Balkan
States, give up Belgium, force
Austria to yield up the Italian
territories, give up conquered
Prance, yes, she could give up
these, and even Alsace-Lor
raine, and if allowed a free
hand in Russia she would still
have won a greater victory
than any of which she ever
dreamed at the beginning of
the war.
Give her control of Russia.
--T
and she and will within a few
years come back with power to
take back Alsace-Lorraine,
crush poor Belgium once more
,and destroy exhausted France,
§weep every vestiage of resis
tance from Europe, Asia and
Africa, and then what?
Then she will thunder at our
doors—from Asia she will in
vade us on the west, from Eu
rope on the east, and from
Mexico on the south.
If Germany has control over
the terms of peace, we who'
read this will live to see one of
the Kaiser's six sons Emperor
of America.
The time to whip Germany
is now!
It is-now or never!
The Princes of Germany are
shaking dice for the United
States.
It will take money, money,
money, that we may send men,
men, men.
Buy bonds, for so only can
the war be won. Unless it is
won. everything you possess is
lost, and with it the American
Soul is lost.
