Citizens of Stamps (Lafayette County) show their support in this 1918 Liberty Loan parade. Liberty Bonds were sold by the U.S. government in an attempt to finance the costs of World War I. Four nationwide drives were conducted during the war, ultimately raising approximately $17 billion. These parade participants are likely marching in support of the third or fourth drive, both carried out in 1918.
