The Liberty Bond sale was great
and wonderful conception, and did not

United States, buyers from every COM
munity flying the American flag, from
the PHILIPPINES to the Virgin Islands,
subscribed to the loan. Fairbanks,
Alaska, the most northern town on the
continent, sent generous subscrlp-
ton. From the canal zone subscrip-
tions came to the amount OF S250,OOO.
One little child in Chicago brought
out four thousand One-cent pieces to
which her father added ten dollars
and she purchased $50 bond. And
every purchaser of one of the bonds
is hanging on to it as though it were
precious jewel, not only proud OF
possession of slice of Uncle Sans
big war loan, but happy in the know
ledge that in doing his patriotic bit
he has a nest egg as good as the
country itself.
At Denison the closing hours in
which one could purchase bonds was
made known by the blowing of whist

til late in the evening, they were runs.
The banks kept open until eight
O'Clock in order that all who desired
could make the necessary application
for bonds.
The sale of the bonds in Denison
and Crawford county was very good,
all things considered. People of lin.
tied means did even better than some
OF those who were abundantly able to
make such investments. At a meet
ing of the bankers of the county held
previous to the sale, it had been
agreed to take $4O0,00O.0O as Craw-
ford countys share. The amount of
bonds actually taken by Crawford
county amounts to $333,0O0.0O. OF
this amount the banks of the county
sold $1S8,200O0 to 1,245 people. The
bonds ranged in denominations of
$50 up to 800, $500 and $1,000; of the
last named dsno:siirutfct there were
a few sold IN the city of Denison. :.

The two men rode up in front Of
the bank in a motorcycle, to which

that the men had abandoned the side
car and both were riding the motor
