Committees from Industrial League
Will Canvass County Thoroly for
Subscriptions
ASK POPULAR RESPONSE
Many Small Subscriptions Wanted to
Show Loyalty of the Community
to the Nation

Following the meeting at the Com
ercial Club rooms on Tuesday eve
ming at which soliciting committees
for this portion of Stevens County
we're appointed and the big meet
ing of all committees for the various
towns and villages held here last
evening, an enthusiastic list of COM
mittees will today begin thoro can
vass Of Stevens county for subscrip-
tions to the Liberty Loan. The big
drive is being made under the direc-
tion of the Stevens County Industrial
League, and it is desired that the re-
sponse be as nearly universal as pos
sible, and that while Stevens county
may not be able to show the largest
amount of money subscribed that it
will establish record for the larg-
est number of subscriptions in pro-
portion to population of any county
in the state. All who can possibly
for $50 bond.
This issue of 2,O0O,OOO,OOO of the
Liberty Loan calls for $40 from
every man, woman and child in the
United States, or about $1OO from
each family, Or-to put it differently
about 800 from each voter. Stew
ems cOunty's share is about 100000,
and the officers of the Industrial
League would much prefer that this
be raised by 1000 subscriptions of
5000 each, or 1000 subscriptions of
500 each than by 100 subscription
of $4,000 each. The more wide
spread and popular the loan is the
better. The least any American can
do is to put his dollars to work for
the country.
America is in the war and only one
outcome can be considered possible
by Americans. That is victory To
achieve victory the country must
furnish the sinews of war. With
victory will come peace and therefore
each purchaser of a Liberty Loan
Bond may be considered an agent of
peace.
THE USES OF THE LIBERTY LOAN
BOND
To the American citizen who gives
some consideration to features of his
investments other than the mere
money return from them, the uses to
which the money raised by the sale
of the Liberty Loan Bonds is to be
devoted will prove patriotic induce
ment to purchase such bonds. A
certain dignity attaches to money
invested in a high and noble cause.
The Liberty Loan is made by the
United States Government to pur-
chase arms and equipment for Am
erican soldiers and sailors, food and
supplies for the American Army and
Navy. The money is to be spent in
America for those Americans who
are fighting Americas battles on
land and sea.
Part of the money raised by the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds is to be
loaned to our allies; this too is to be
expended in America. 1t is to be
spent for food and supplies for the
armies of our allies fighting on our
side on the various war fronts in
Europe. 1t is Americas first con-
tribution towards doing her part in
the war we are engaged in.
It is billions for defense in the
worldwide war Autocracy is waging
against Democracy, but not one cent
for tribute.
THE FIFTY DOLLAR BOND
In issuing Liberty Loan Bonds in
a denomination as small as $50 the
Secretary of the United States Trea-
sury has put it in the reach of al
most every American citizen to do
a real and actual service to his coun-
try.
Not all can fight, not all can rend-
er personal service in other ways,
but those who are denied the privi-
lege of serving their country in per-
son have the privilege of serving her
by lending their money to win her
victories.
But it is not patriotism alone that
urges the buying of Liberty Loan
Bonds. Thrift and a wise economy
in investing small savings commend
these Liberty Loan Bonds to small
investors. They are safe, and con-
sidering their tax-free quality-free
from all federal, state and local
taxes inheritance taxes excepted)
and free from any war tax that may
hereafter be levied, affording an alb
solutely net income of 31a per cent,
