Since you control our fate; Let us return to homely tasks Before it is too late. Or else I fear, when war is done, And peace again shall reign, have to start a last campaign To drive us home again! A.

E. M. The Council of Defense has been in obarge, throughout the United States, of all drives during the war. Its work has been hard and unceasing and only now has the prospect of a rest loomed upon the horizon as a probability. The success of the various drives has been made possible only by the attitude and ready response of the American-spirited people.

Now the Government, through the Councils, calls for the last time for Liberty Loan Drive, to be known as the Victory Liberty Loan Drive. The bonds will be interest-bearing as before, also free from taxation. They will be redeemable by the Government, it is expected, in five years time. The purchaser of the Victory Liberty Loan securities will have the privilege of paying for them in installments covering a period of six months instead of four as heretofore. In other words, the Government is offering you its best securities on the easiest possible terms.

If you have a saving acoount, draw out your money and loan it to the United States at a better rate of interest than the banks can pay. Cat down on the Easter finery and save for a bond; the first payment to be 10 per cent. Get yonr name on the Honor Roll early. The Drive starts on April 21st and continues for three weeks. Friday, May 2nd, has been deoided upon as the best possible date for the people of the county to forget their work and get together at the County-seat and show the country at large that Eureka County on the last call will go over the top.

Remember, this celebration is to be a joyous one over the defeat of the beastly Hun, and it is hoped that every boy entitled to wear the uniform provided by good old Uncle Sam will be in Eureka in full regalia. For the entertainment a special eight-reel film will be ran at the Enreka Theatre, entitled It is a wonderful story that has been of interest throughout the entire oountry, showing the inside workings of the German spy system and their war department For the evening, speakers from Reno will be heard, and following them the big free all-night dance, dosing in time to catoh train to Palisade. Leave your work, leave your play aud be in Eureka the 2nd of May!
