Err OF CAMPAIGN.

The campaign for the sale OF Lib
erty bonds is being pushed by both
the committees in the towns and in
the country. Today is Liberty Bond
day, and the whistles and bells of
town announced the fact in no un-
mistakable manner this noon. 1t
was to remind those who could not
be reached in any other manner hat
there is only two more days for them
to make their arrangements for a
bond.
1t is estimated that the county has
raised about $4,000 of the $780,
600 apportioned. Some of the dis
tricts are coming forward with their
quotas in good shape. Others will
fall short of the amount expected of
them. The city is still behind its
schedule, and only a spirit of loyalty
imbued in the minds of many of
those who might take out more bonds
than they have will bring the city to
fill its quota.
There will not be enough of new
entries to make up either in the
country or in town. 1t now remains
for those who have already subscrib-
ed a smZ amount to come to the
aid of the committees and the gov
eminent. 1t is for those who could
but have not subscribed for all they
could afford.
The country is subscribing very
generally. There are districts which
have not made up their amounts, and
(which will fail to do so. At this
time Leroy township is reported to
be the banner district of the county.
having subscribed its full share, and
a little more.
John w. Walden, chairman of the
county committee. said today that the
latest and fullest count he could
make of the returns from the whole
county was that at 400 there was
$780, 900 subscribed. The city had
about $4,000 of its 100000. There
are only two days more in which to
work, and the time for the slow ones
Ito come forward with their subscrip-
tions is becoming short.
In many instances men are making
unusual sacrifice to lend the govern
ment this money. In N case q
farmer living a Wentworth, sign
ed for $4,000 of bonds. A young
farmer who not only does not owl
his farm, but is paying interest on hi:
farming equipment, subscribed 5000
Another man, earning a salary, pu
up his note for part of a $3.50 bond
1t may be that neither of these tive
men will EVER pay out on the full
amount of the bond. But they arr
willing to pay the difference in in
terest to help out the boys in win
ming a war.
Again today we are publishing thu
names of later subscribers. The lis
is as complete and accurate as W
can get ii. There are names publish
ed today who subscribed in earliel
days. But the omission of theil
names on former lists is caused b.
i~rregularity in the transmission o
cards by committeeman or by otheI
agents handling them. If any arr
overlooked entirely we would appre
ciate your calling our attention to tn
oversight OF omission.
In the lists, too, you will observe
the same name twice. 1t is not
duplication in error. Ii is in case
person has realized hat he owes
further allegiance to his country anC
come in with a further loan to hell
his Uncle Samuel. and to comfort tn
men who are in the game-who hav'
gone over the top. May their mum
bers increase.
Following are new names added t.
the list of subscribers since that pub
lished yesterday:
