EVERY MAN URGED
TO DO HIS DUTY
Backed by the proclamation of
Clovernor Richard I. Manning, which
k\as given to the public this morning,
tl\e Liberty Loan, Bond campaign is
now being pushed forward with renewed
vigor. *
The governor, who previously has
subscribed to twenty bonds, or on'.*
Each for himself, his wife, daughter,
.even sons and ten grandchildren, is
now in an official capacity urging the
people oi tins state to subscribe to {
L'ne limit of their resources. He is j
especially anxious that the movement]
imongst insurance men ami traveling
salesmen, whereby all men in these
lines give their entire time on June
1th ami oth to the personal solicitation
of subscriptions should be pushed,
owing to the fact that a great many
people, although they realize the
necessity for subscribing, and the do-j
urability of the bonVlb as an invest-i
nent, nevertheless are so dilatory in
such matters that they are apt to do- |
lay the purchase of bonds until too,
ate.
Therefore every man, woman and
ihild who can possibly subscribe to!
,he bonds will bo approached person-!
illy on June 4th and 5th, and appli-!
nation blank will be presented to him
'or his signature.
The Governor also urges all the
riinisters of the Gospel to make apodal
mention of the bonds in their
sermons on next Sunday. The causes
'or which the Church fights are iden- |
;ical with the cause of the United
states in the present war, and every
ninister should see to it that his congregation
is fully advised of the imjortunco
of the present move.
