KAISER IN CHARGE or WORK
Sec'y of the Chamber of Commerce Is
Named by Federal Reserve Board to
Have Charge of Sales in Kenosha
County Many Committees to Act.

OHcl6 odH WaHLS m1ll1On dollars
from Kenosha county. This morning
the call went out to bring in the treas
ure. Under the direction of Richard
F. Kaiser, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, the second Liberty Loan
campaign of the year was launched in
Kenosha county and the work of tax
ing subscriptions for the loan will be
on until the 28th of October. By that
time the committee in charge believes
that Kenosha county people will have
subscribed for more than the amount
set. It is expected that by that time
many Kenosha county people will have
badges of honor in the way of Liberty
Loan Bonds of the second issue.
Charles O. Brown is chairman for
the sale of the bonds in this county,
but the real work of the campaign has
been placed on the shoulders of Secre-
tary Kaiser of the Chamber of Com
merce. He will be in charge of the
organization and pushing of the cam
paign and in few days he will name
a long list Of committees to have
charge of the actual work of selling
the bonds. The patriotic duty of every
man in the county to aid in financing
the war will be brought home by per-
sonal interview and it is planned to
have personal solicitation of every
person in the country. The work is not
to be done entirely by men. 1t is ex-
pected. that Kenosha county will have
an active woman s committee to solicit
the women Of the county. Farm and
village and city are expected to do
their part in this campaign and it is
the plan of Acting Chairman Kaiser to
carry the patriotic message to every
one. Plans are being made for the
sale of the bonds on liberal terms.
Banks will give the buyers chance to
make small payments down and pay
ments by the week or the month. It is
expected that it will be possible
to purchase the four per cent gov
eminent bonds on payments as low
as dollar a week.
Chairman Kaiser recognizes the fact
that he is shouldering a big response
bility. He knows that already a mil
lion dollars worth of government bonds
have been sold to Kenosha people this
year and that to get the second mil
lion into circulation means going into
the highways and the by-ways. A
special effort is going to be made to
have every workman employed in the
Kenosha factories a partner Of Uncle
Sam and the plan is to have bond
sold to every man who works. Many
of the factory managers have given
the assurance that they will aid the
committee in every way possible and
in some Of the big plants clubs have
already been organized to buy the
bonds. The plan provided in the or
ganization of these clubs provides that
the paymaster may retain a small pro-
portion of weekly earnings to be applied
to the purchase price of the bonds.
Secretary Kaiser is going to nave
full swing in the sale of this issue Of
the bonds, = declared Chairman Charles
G. Brown this morning. "This does
not mean that we men who were ac-
tive in the sale of the first issue of the
bonds are retiring from the campaign
in any way We are going to work
just as hard and harder this time than
we did in the former sale. Mr.. Kaiser
is going to work under the authority
of the Federal Reserve Board and we
are counting on him to centralize, eff
forts in order to make it possible for
US to reach every man and woman in
the county. We feel that Kenosha
county people are patriotic and all that
is necessary to secure the sale Of our
whole quota is TO have the matter prop
erly laid before them. Of course we
expect lot of people to come right up
to the banks and buy the bonds with
out solicitation, but many will have
to be reached by the personal solicita-
tion of the committee. We are con-
fdent that Kenosha will not be found
lacking in this second call that the
nation has made upon the people. The
excellent investment that the govern
ment offers should make the sub
scription for the bonds in this
county double the amount set by the
reserve board
