town Community Must Hustle.

If the sun shines today so that a
whirlwind canvass may be made Of the
rural districts tomorrow and Friday,
Marshall county may yet come under
the wire with her full allotment OF
liberty loan bonds subscribed, but to-
day there is yet much to be done ex-
cept in spots.
Laurel, Albion, Vancleve, Clemens,
and LeGrand promise to join Liscomb
IN oversubscribing their allotments.
Rhodes has held meeting and already
has $1,000 toward Its $4,000 in the
hands Of the county chairman but the
Green Mountain and Dunbar communi-
ties are Stacking unless they take a
sudden change before Friday night, So
far Green Mountain has reported moth
ing toward its allotment of $4,000
while Dunbar has in only $1,000 toward
$4,000. At first the banker there
thought he could underwrite the allot-
ment, but he has been discouraged by
his local response. Clemens has her
$4,000 all in the hands Of the county
chairman. LeGrand is believed to have
promises to overrun. Laurel was asked
for $4,000 from Marshall county, and
has sent in $15,150 already besides CIV
ing Jasper county the subscriptions
taken from its territory. Albion has
sent in a hurry up call for more sub
scription blanks. Conrad, just over the
line, reports $37,500 sold toward an al

Lawyers. doctors and merchants are
requested to solicit patrons and neigh
5ors to loan something for the de-
tense OF their country. The local banks
have decided to give all depositors full
credit for interest on their savings and
time deposits up to June %. when the
payments on bonds are due, so that
there will be no loss Of interest to de-
positors who take government bonds.
