THE WEATHER,
and Saturday Generally
IN FLIGHT FROM SOFIA
Rome, Oct. 1.— A general flight of
G.\mnns and AustriatiB from Sofia
and Constanople has begun, according
to advice received from Swiss sources
I today.
The members of the Logan
county executive committee in
charge of the Liberty Bond cam
paign, are working like beavers,
and while there is no doubt of the
ultimate success of raising the,
$100,000 quota assigned to the
city and county, still it will require
not only hard work on the part
of the committee, but there must
be concert of action on the part
of every citizen to insure success.
Remember, first, that this loan
must be raised, and raised
promptly. Second, that Guthrie
and Logan county has over one
thousand of her best and bravest
men in this awful struggle, and
they must feel and know that the
home people are behind them to
the last dollar. This is the least
that could be expected.
Congressman Joe B. Thompson,
of this congressional district, who
will speak at the opera house in
this city. Saturday night, sums the
whole situation up in a few elo
quent words as follows-
'There is nothing we at home
can do that will strengthen the
fighting spirit of our boys over
there, and lower the steadily dc
creasing morale of our adversar-
ies like carrying on in this loan
drive as bravely and courageously
a& they are carrying on in
France."
Don't wait for the committe to
hunt you up. Hunt up the com-
mittee and make your sub6crip
tion.
Delay will get nowhere.
It simply makes an additional bur
den on the committee, as it will
take the best that is in us to achi
eve the end sought, and unani
mous team work is what will spell
success.
It i6 our battle at home to win
the war The greatest victory
that can be won. outside of a de
cisive battle at the front, will be
the over subscription of the
Fourth Liberty Loan in such an
amount that it >vill serve notice
on the kaiser and his murderers
that the United States is in this
