The Freshman girls got busy and created two floats, one of which received a tip from the Red Cross ladies. The r Bill on the run, with a soldier and sailor threatening him with a painful doom hy pointing bayonets at him, while in the background stood Liberty, protected by her embled, the F. S. flag. Above the float in plain words was a sign, Help Keep Him Running. The Freshman float No. 2 consisted of five nurses and a wounded soldier. The nurses stood on American soil trying to reach the pleading soldier on the other side of the Atlantic, hut because of the lack of enough Fourth Liberty Loan money they could not cross and therefore the soldier must be left to suffer his plight alone. This shows what will certainly happen if every person in the United States doesnt subscribe, to his utmost, to the Fourth Loan. Dont let our soldie.rs plead in vain.
