FROM THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

IL IS not possible at I0lS tlue ~
publish the names of the subscribers
to the Liberty Bonds as some have
reported direct to the Federal Reserve
Bank without also reporting to US.
AS the campaign closes on Saturday
OF this week we will make an effort
to get the totals from each township,
ward and village for publication.
Many of the solicitors have done
splendid work but met many disap-
pointments, more especially from
those in good circumstances, but 4ill
they kept at it with determination
and sacrifice that is commendable.
Mr.. H. And. Lobnitz of East Lake LII.
liam writes: Permit me to thank you
for the appointment as solicitor for
the Liberty Bonds. It is with great
pleasure l work for the honor and
safety of my adopted Fatherland, es-
pecially when at the same time am
saving my native country from de"
struction. 1ehave been out two times
and will try again and get more be-
fore the 27th."
The following letter has been sent
to all the solicitors and It Is now
clearly before the people as to wheth-
or Kandiyohi county shall be in the
"Slacker class" or not. Now Is the
time to show our colors.
-, Another Letter to Solicitors . 4 =.
Dear Sir: - =.
The struggle our Country Is In at
the present time requires tremendous
sacrifices that will test the loyalty and
readiness of our citizens. The money
required to successfully terminate the
war must be furnished by the people
as our government has no one else to
appeal to and the necessary amount is
so large that it is staggering. But
still it can be raised If everyone does
his duty. Our County is assessed
/ $3.50, 900 90. We were short last time
by a considerable amount and failure
Is again in sight unless we mako an
extra effort.
What is the trouble? There is plen-
ty resources to have this amount met
in a day, but the trouble Is that so few
realize the immensity Of the task be-
LII 10. AAoLooO VI OOAA6 GA SAA0y
can, very many make the amount as
small as possible. There is where we
fall down. 1t is very encouraging to
see so many cards coming in but they
are with a few exceptions for the
smallest amount. A great many act
as though they were signing a sub.
scription list giving the money away
to some charity. The government
does not ask that as you know. A
well-to-do-man does not do his duty to
the Government by signing for fifty
dollars or even a hundred dollars.
If you have covered your territory
please see those again that are able :c
and ask them to increase their sub
scriptions. l had conference last
Saturday night with the state officials
and they requested that this appea
be made to you. We want our count,

you will make an extra effort to ge
more satisfactory returns.

cause, beg to remain,

center of the room. After all had
been seated, and. with bowed heads,
the entire audience joined in the sing
