The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1917-06-08

Valley county Will prODaDly 1eaQ
the state and if the present pace con-
tinues, will lead the nation in the
amount subscribed for Liberty Bonds,
according to population and wealth.
Until Tuesday no concerted effort
had been made to dispose of the
bonds, but on that day, when the men
between the ages of 21 and 80 were
registering, the citizens of Glasgow
responded splendidly to the call of
the government to "Buy a Bond"
Committees made a partial canvass
of the city, but owing to the number
who subscribed they could not make
much headway. Badges were pre-
sented to bond purchasers, and hun
dreds of them are now being worn.
At the recent meeting of the Bank
ers' association, 100000 was set as
Valley county's portion of the Lib
erty Bond issue. At first this amount
seemed enormous, but present indica-
tions are that the county subscription
will more than double that figure.
Glasgow's subscription alone now
exceeds the 100000 mark, and every
effort will be made to have it go over
the 100000 mark. In case it does, it
will mean per capita contributed of
$100, and this will probably set
mark for any county in the nation to
equal.
Every bank in the county is boost
ing the bond sale and as the time is
short for subscriptions to come in,
every effort should be made to rush
the campaign.
On Monday, June II, the city and
county will be thoroughly canvassed
and every person urged to "Do their
bit" for their country by buying a
Liberty Bond.
While the figures from all the local
banks are not available, up until IL
O'Clock today $191 ,05O had been SUBJ
scribed through the First National
bank alone. Other banks here have
taken large subscriptions and the ex-
act figures will be published in the
next issue.
The magnificent subscriptions of
Henry Carpenter and L. w. Gibson,
who took $4,000 and $4,000 respect
lively, is but an example of what VAL
ley county men will do in a crisis.
These two men have shown their true
patriotism by letting the government
have their money to fight with.
Valley county feels proud of them.
The First National bank of this
city has subscribed $4,000 in bonds.

chasers up until today noon follows:
