The
Man with Mon^y
has his famijy
protected with money
t in the Bank.*
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
*~''»jey and puts it in the Bank where it is safe

JUDGE D. H. COLEMAN
SEEKS RE-ELECTION
Judge Dene H. Coleman of
Batesville announces in today’s
paper as a candidate for a sec
ond term as circuit judge of the
Third Judicial District.
Judge Coleman is now round
ing out his first term in this of
fice and has made good in ev
ery respect. His spirit of fair
ness and the capable manner
in which he dispatches the
business of the court has won
for him the commendation of
the people generally.
Judge Coleman has the hap
py faculty of making friends
whereever he goes and it is
very probable that no man who
ever held this position has
made more warm friends in the
district than has Judge Cole
man.
His judicial decisions are
always based upon fairness and
justice, anil during the four
years that he has occupied the
bench, very few of the decis
ions of his court have been re
versed by the supreme court
Judge Coleman will probab
ly have no opposition for re
election as it is generally con
ceded that he has been faithful
and efficient in the discharge
of his duties and is entitled to a
second term.

He stands high with the vot
ers in all sections of the county

rally to his support.
Barnett Bros., have plenty of
Millet and Sudan grass seed.
O
OUR PART IN THE
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
Independence County’s Quota
For Latest Bond Issue is
Over $212,000.00
All is now set for the great
Thiitl Liberty Loan Drive for
I $3,000,000,000 with its over
*
| subscriptions.
Every countv in every state
in the union, and every town
and city in every county is list
led at headquarters of the Lib
erty Loan Organization at St.
Louis and at the Treasury De
partment at Washington.
Each town, city and county
has had the quota of bonds it
must take, alloted to it, and
each will be expected and must
take the bonds assigned.
The Financiers everywhere
expected the issue to be much
larger than the $3,000,000,000
required. Plans were perfect
ed for a sale largely in excess
of this. Now with the organi
zations that have been per
fected the quota should be sub
scribed in a very brief cam
paign.
Many counties and towns
have advised headquarters that
their quotas have already been
pledged, and with a little work
the over-subscriptions will
reach sums that will show the
world that the patriotism of
the people has been aroused to
a high pitch; will show our al
lies across the water that the
United States may be depended
on to do its part, and will dem
onstrate to the Kaiser and all
Germany that every man in the
nation and every dollar of
America’s wealth will be en
listed in war that is to sweep
Prussianism from the face of
the Earth.
