The receipt or reports indicating
that several sections of North Dako-
Ia are not responding to the appeal
for support Of the Liberty Loan, an
nounced by Chairman L. B. Hanna
this morning, accentuates the fact
that the loyal people of the state
must respond to full measure if the
states minimum quota of $7,000,000
is attained.
Reports that come to the chairman
of failure to get back of the Liberty
Loan are from isolated districts, and
unless they get into the game in the
next few days, the burden of carry
ing the states quota will necessarily
fall proportionately heavy on other
districts.
Mr.. Hanna is not disposed to take
the position that the communities
that have failed to give support to
the Liberty Loan are disloyal, but is
inclined to take a more charitable
view. hoping that the close of the
campaign will see every section Of
the state represented in proportion to
its ability to subscribe.
Some Splendid Reports.
But the reports of failure to sup
port the loan are lost in the splendid
reports that come from other dis
tricts.
A letter that pleased the state
chairman particularly was received
today from Col. ]. w. Carroll, in
Lisbon. Colonel Carroll informed
Chairman Hanna that ne had called
a meeting of the board of trustees,
and that the board will invest $10,-
900 of it's funds in Liberty bonds.
The old soldiers are to be COM
mended for their patriotism, said
Chairman Hanna this morning. THE
investment of the sum fixed by Col
onel Carroll Is a splendid evidence
Of their appreciation of the import
ance OF tie foall.

City. state chairman OF the women's
loan committee, transmitted to
