Paper Issued Today.
The Liberty Loan committee Of the
AID club today issued Vol. /, No. /,
Of its paper, the Liberty Loan Mes
senger,'' which has been printed In
an edition of $500 copies. Today the
paper will be distributed to every
home IN the city by a small army Of
school boys who have volunteered
their services for this purpose.
Weather like that of today will prove
rather an announcement to the mes
sengers than a drawback, and the
boys seem to feel rather proud and
enthusiastic over the dignity and re-
sponsibility conferred upon them.
The new paper tells all about the Lib
erty Loan, the why's and 'wherefore's
the war, the expenditures of the ma
ton, the procedure to be followed In
signing applications and making pay
ments for the bonds.

treasurer of the United States. will
arrive in the city next Sunday and

Loan Sunday afternoon. MI. Burke
will address audiences in Nelson
