Paper to Be Published.
Several Of the city's churches have
been billed like circus tents with
posters containing inspiring and ap-
pealing legends appearing in all the
colors Of the rainbow. Most Of the
mtsisters in town have promised to
speak on the Liberty loan in the
course of their sermons tomorrow, and
it is thought that this appeal will be
one Of great effect.
A number Of local merchants have
placed their show windows at the dis
posal of the committee and a variety
of posters and printed appeals will be
exhibited in this way.
h members Of the Y. M. c. A.
junior league promised today that
they will distribute $500 copies Of the
published on Thursday Of next week.
This paper will be distributed to g.
500 houses, and the boys pledged
themselves to place a copy inside the
door Of each house. Thus it is ex-
pected that practically every resi-
dence in the city will be reached by
the unique newspaper.
The committee decided that only
twelve firms could obtain advertising
space in the newspapers, and the
clamor for space was SO great tina all
the space had been sold before noon
today. There is no more advertising
space to be had in the Liberty loan
neWspaper.
Propaganda Of Committee.
The Liberty loan committee has
been isvited to address the local lodge
Of the Brotherhood of Railroad men

to decorate the auditorium for the pa

today.
The committee has been necessarily
working in practically every township
of the county, and E. ]. Lander
chairman of the county committee
who returned from an organization
meeting at Mekinock shortly after
which he and other members had
found everywhere in the county was
decidedly favorable to the Liberty
loan campaign. It seems as though
much more enthusiasm Is in evidence
