LIBERT
President Wilson and Congress have authorized an issue of Seven Billion Dollars ($7,000,000,000) in bonds to carry on the war. This country can do little
at present in furnishing- fighting men, but we can do much in furnishing food and materials. This is a war for Democracy and Liberty for ourselves and our
posterity.
We have been asked by the Secretary of the Treasury to receive subscriptions to the War Loan. These bonds are tax free and bear a fair rate of inter-
est. We will take your subscription, as will other banks in this city. We shall make no charge for our services in this connection, either to the investor or to
the government.
Every man or woman who can spare even a small sum should take advantage of this opportunity to aid the country and at the same time make a profit-
able investment. j

Norman Defeats Copan
The Norman Hitch debating team,
upholding the negative side of the
question that the Monroe Doctrine as
it has been enforced should be con-
t'niioil, defeated the Copan hitch team
in the semi-final debate of the hitch
chool lea true in the debate held in the
Law building last night. The Norman
boys showed superiority both in re-
buttal and constructive argument, and
the judges were unanimous in their
decision. This is the fifth debate that
our team has won this year, and so
far only two teams have been able
to score or even get one judge for
them. By virtue of their victory last
night the Norman team will debate
Wanoka on the same question, but on
the affirmative, tonight, at the Fran- |
ing for the state championship. Every •
student of high school as well as the
townspeople should go to the debate
tonight and help the boys win. The.
memberS of the team are Herbert
iiytie, Karl I'ruett and Jorn K. Mont-
gomery.
