Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who hss performed a distinct, definite service in the coun- try. Not a]l can fight, not all can work directly for the Government ; but in buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War has been put power of every citizen to aid the United Btates financially ; it is a poor Ameri- can who withholds support from the Government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans, Iron crosses {o German soldiers and dismond orders exchanged between Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the honors of atrocity. But a Liberty Loan button, sinple as it is, signifies a patriotic duty done and is an insignis of honor, A fp fp — Centre County Advancing Centre county is gradually pulling itself together in the mstier of sales of Thrift and War Savings Btampe.
