Use Many Agencies.

Plans for selling liberty loan" bonds
in North Dakota were made today by
the North Dakota executive COMMITTEES
created by the Ninth district reserve
bank and headed by L. B. Hanna, this
city.
A system of county organization by
which the bond issue investment
proposition will be carried to every
citizen of the state, was approved, and
the group of county chairmen to work
with the state executive committee,
were announced.
At noon, the executive COMMITTEES
had dinner with representatives OF
Fargo banking institutions. when the
bond issue was explained by Mr..
Hanna, and support Of the issue was
voiced by every man present.
Make il a popular Loan"
at is the purpose of the state COM
mittee, as well as the reserve bank
and the federal government, to make
the issue as nearly as possible, a
popular issue To bring that about,
the bond will be issued In denomina-
tions of $50. according to present
plans. .. .a -
North Dakota's share Of the loan
issue would be $15,U00,0 on the per
capita basis. but we do not expect to
dispose Of that amount because of the
fact that this is the off season In
North Dakota. We hope, however, to
place about $1,500,000 of the loan in
the state, an average of about $780,
900 to $4,000 for each county. In
later loan issues, when financial condi~
tions in the state are more favorable,
1t will be expected that North Dakota
will take her per capita share.
THE interest rate on Liberty Loan
will be 3h per cent. Should any
subsequent bond issue take a higher
rate, the interest rate on this issue
will be increased to the new level.
Use Various Agencies.
'It is the plan of the committee to
issue q. circular addressed to the peo-
pie of the state. 1t will be given pub
licity through stores, banks and post
offices, and such other agencies as may
be pressed into the service"
At today's luncheon, speakers voiced
their support of the issue, declaring
that while a greater interest rate can
be obtained elsewhere, 1t was their
patriotic duty to subscribe to the
loan.
