The campaign to dispose Of Liberty
Loan bonds in Grand Forks vii! De
continued during Thursday and FRI
day of this week as it was found I'M
possible yesterday to reach all the
people desired.
Yesterday afternoon the captains o.
the soliciting teams met in the rooms
Seport and t plan the continuatlon
of the bond sale. At thu time the
meeting was held, bonds disposed OF
totalled $93,25O which were the IN
vestments of 852 persons.
The team captains reported mat
they had met with refusals in some IN
stances, but as a rule. they had oeen
based on justifiable grounds. only a
very limited number Of those who re-
lack Of patriotism. In accordance
with a decision made by the campaign
committee, records were made OF each
person refusing to contribute, n the
~refusals will be considered by the
committee a little later.
e5 to Continue Canvas.
The city will be canvassed for at
least two more days by the 65 men
who have volunteered their services
in the interest of patriotism. and
every person will have an opportuni-
ty. to help the government nrOusn
the purchase of a Liberty Bond. The
team captains reported that there was
still considerable work to be done as
a comparatively small percentage OF
homes and offices had been called up
on.
1t is clear that Grand Forks desires
not only, to raise its allotted portion
of the Liberty Loan, but also to ex-
coed the stipulated amount. and, judg-
ing from the reports in hand 1t looks
as though the final result will exceed
expectations.
b School Teachers Respond.
The attitude OF the school teachers
has beer very encouraging, according
to Superintendent ]. Nelson Kelly
who said that he had met with the
greatest success in his attempts to in
terest the teachers of the loc0l
schools. The superintendent reported
last night that $4,25O worth Of bonds
had been disposed Of among the
teaching staff; this means that prac-
tically every teacher has subscribed.
The total investment of 852 persons
+ g., 500, $50. represented solely indi-
vidual purchases. This moun does
not include the bonds purchased by
the local banks. Captains feel very
optimistic about the final outcome OF
the campaign. and several Of them ex
