Good morning, have you bought a
Liberty Bond? is the form Of sal
utation heard in Owosso constantly
and it is spreading as different indi-
viduals become subscribers and ex-
press willingness to do their bit.
The business, and professional men,
as well as the employees in the sew
eral factories, and many of the wo-
men are awake to the necessity of the
hour and are buying bonds to meet
the demands for funds with which to
finance the great need of the govern
ment in the war for liberty.
Beginning with the county meeting
in the Armory on Sunday afternoon,
in which all the townships were rep
resented but two, the drive has been
constant one to place the allotment
of $650,O00 Of Liberty Bonds assign
ed our county for sale. If the pace
set by Owosso, Corunna, Durand,
Laingsburg, Perry, Bancroft and By
ron is met by the residents Of the
townships Shiawassee county will do
her part, in manner that will be
greatly to the credit of every resi-
dent Of the county. The meeting was
for the purpose for organizing the
townships and completing a plan to
cover the county in such way that
no one would miss the opportunity
to get one of Uncle Sam s certificates
of honor. G. l.. Taylor, chairman OF
the county organization, presided and
called upon E. o. Dewey, county
manager, to explain what had. been
done and what needed to be done.
After this explanation and the an
swering of many questions, B. p.
Hicks of Durand, and Rev. b. G..
Mattson, Of Owosso, gave short, rous-.
ing addresses calling upon those pres
ent we'll as all others in the county
to meet patriotic duty as loyal Amer
lean citizens in a manner which will
serve notice upon the Kaiser that mil
lions of American men and American
dollars arc enlisted to defeat his at
tempt to become the ruler Of the
world. Both speakers, as well as Mr..
o. H. Voelker, who read the four
minute address sent out by the ma
tional committee in the interest of the
bond sale, were repeatedly applauded
as they scored telling points. After
the speaking, the several townships
and the cities, separated to form To-
cal organizations and to plan work.
