LIBERTY LOAN
OF
WAYNE COUNTY
IS $1,000,
Quota Fixed for Civil Unit is
Practically Two Millions
Campaign is on to Raise
This Total.
is GOOD INVESTMENT

Wayne county has a big Job on its
hands, but one which, with the ira.
ditional patriotic spirit credited to
Wayne county, should be brought to q
successful conclusion
The quota fixed for Wayne county
in the sale of the Second Liberty Loan
Bonds is $1,000, 0,000-practically two
millions of dollars. The average daily
sales from the beginning of the cam
paign to its close on October 27 must
exceed $65,O00.
II Uncle Sam were asking gifts ag-
gregating $2,800,o00 from the people of
Wayne county the difficulties in rails
ing such huge sum might be consid-
cred appalling, but there is no charity
being requested.
Need for Funds Great.
The need for funds to conduct the
war is great, a fact that probably every
man and woman in Wayne county
knows, and they also should under
| stand that Wayne county must do its
share as well as every county in the
nation. The United States govern
ment is presenting to Wayne county
| people an opportunity to do their Bit
in this war in manner that will not
| call for sacrifice.
Inc investing of $50, 500, $500,
$1,000 or sums greater, in Second
Liberty Bonds, means that Uncle Sam
will borrow your money and return
| interest at the rate of four percent. per
| annum, rate that is regarded as ex-
ceptionally liberal
No taxes of any sort are to be col
| lected on either the principal invested
| or the interest returned thereon.
Must Raise Share.
Wayne county cannot afford to be
| tagging behind in this movement" said
prominent Main street business man
today. We should all realize that it
Is just as important for Wayne county
to raise its full quota as for any other
subdivision of the country. There is
no cost involved; it is a profitable
piece of work for US to do, and l know
that people generally will awaken to
the necessity Of subscribing for these
bonds. They certainly will not find
more attractive investment and they
can perform no more important obliga-
tion of patriotic citizenship
The banks in Richmond and In all
| towns Of the county will secure for all
citizens bonds in any denomination de-
| sired without penny of cost All
bonds are sold at par
