LICTTORS. SALE WILL

Citizens Deserve Praise for Work
Accomplished in the Big
Drive

With the blowing of whistles and
the changing cf bells at 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning, the big Second
Liberty Bond drive opened in Dickin-
son and is running until Saturday
night. Enthu'i: sm, patriotism and
pride in their hustling city are in
spring the citizens who volunteered
for service in disposing of the bonds.
Despite the fact that nearly 200
people subscribed to bonds of the sec
ond issue previous. to Wednesday
morning, the citizenry, individually
and collectively, are rallying to the
call for subscriptions. No man es-
capped solicitation. Many sought out
the solicitors to take over one or
more bonds. The liberal terms offered
by the local banks in allowing buyers
six months in which to pay for the
bonds, precluded excuses. In MANY
instances, no first deposit was made.
This concession on the part of the
banks is one OF the strongest indices
of their patriotism and desire to as
sist Uncle Sam in every way possible.
A preparatory meeting was held in
the Commercial Club rooms Tuesday
evening when the cashiers of the four
banks in town were appointed as dis
trict leaders, having under their sup
ervision, prominent citizens who had
volunteered as solicitors. The citv
was laid off into four districts. How
ever, the various teams did not con-
fine themselves to particular terri
tory but secuted in all directions
where prospect was apparent. The
four leaders constituted a general
committee which made extra expendi-
ture of persuasiveness on those who
had been reported as "luke-warm" or
hesitant. 1t is confidently believed
that there we're no actual slackers,
everyone in the city who could so af-
ford, taking, at least, one bond.
Some of the most prominent people
took part in the drive, giving of their
time and energy ungrudgingly to
the cause. A.. Kostelecky, Walter

initiative were Of considerable help t.
the committee.

paign was sum over $4,000, since
which time there has been a steady
income from the farmers. The
county's quota is $160,000 and it is
possible that that amount will be
raised by Saturday night. The names

issue bonds are here given with the
