1t is well to announce that mem
5ers of this committee. when soliciting
subscriptions, will be provided with
official blank applications, and will be
authorized to collect and receipt for
first payments.
j. Sheehan announced that the First
National bank had already received
applications for $4,000 of the new
bonds. which is more than the total
of subscriptions through this bank to
the first Liberty Loan.
A report from the Winnemucca
state Bank & Trust Company was to
The effect that it had received a $4,000
subscription TO the new loan from the
Western Pacific railroad company.
Mr. Shurtleff, in explaining that the
government wanted 100000 sub
scribers to the new loan, said that
perhaps the greatest object to be
achieved was to convince Germany
that the PEOPLE of the United States
are in this war and mean to see 1t
through. He urged that all possible
effort be put forth to interest ranch
ers of Humboldt county in the Lib
erty Loan, and declared that the most
difficult territory in the United States
to cover thoroughly was right here.
This brought to the front the ques-
ton of ways and means of working,
and Judge Langwith announced that
he would at once appoint an efficient
committee in Golconda. Ben Loinaz
and Harry oastler suggested the feast
bility of holding a barbecue and bond
rally at Paradise on Sunday. October
21, and il was resolved to do this. Sew
eral carloads of speakers and hustlers
will go to the valley on that day, and
creditahle results are expected. The
proponents of the scheme will endea-
vor to arrange the barbecue.
1t was announced that new buttons
are ready for subscribers to the sec
ond loan. Posters will be at once sent
to- the committee from State head
quarters at Reno, together with circu-
lars in Italian and Spanish. Post
master MacFarlane will receive nine
elaborate Liberty Bond posters from
Washington.
Explanation of the difference be-
tween registered and coupon bonds,
and the advantages and disadvantages
of each, was made. T. j. ID. Salter
interjected the side-remark that he
was in favor of coupon bonds, because
he had heard of coupon-clipping ever
since he was boy, and he wanted 10
experience the sensation, so he had
purchased coupon bond.
The matter of the four-minute men
to address audiences at the local the
atre came up, and it was decided 70
begin the speechmaking at the Ameri-
can theatre next Saturday night The
Liberty Loan will supply the princi-
pal theme of these addresses, although
they are supposed to touch upon ma
tional conditions in general pertaining
