In the closing hours for raising
the Liberty loan, as apportioned this
county, some good work was done.
Committees rounded up the few re-
naming prospective purchasers or
those who had been missed, and So
licited the support of another sol
der. The total now reached in Lake
county is $131, 000-s6,000 over
the minimum apportionment. Ad-
vices today indicate that while many
districts failed to raise their amounts
as based on the bank deposits. the
total loan will be oversubscribed
$500, 000, 900. One Chicago concern
alone is said to have taken $685.
600, 900.
The Lake county organization is to
II was not a spontaneous subscrip-
ton on the part of the people. 1t
was only on reminder of their duty
that they did their bit. The organ
iation did hard work, at first against
discouraging apathy. When the eX-
plantations of the aim of the loan
were made to the prospective pur-
chaser, through the solicitations of
the committees. the way became at
once brighter and easier.
This is the first bond issue to be
offered direct to the people of the
country. Former loans have been
offered through great banking con
Germs. but this was designed for alb
sorption by the masses. Criticism
has formerly been offered because
the government issues were not made
accessible for the commoner, and this
settles any such question. 1t is also
a curious anomaly that ii is the
bankers themselves who interested
themselves i'm the sale of these bonds
although it also depleted their pub
lie deposits.

ison not heretofore named, was com
posed of the following men: For

tee pushed the work and maintained
