TO SELL MORE BONDS
Second Liberty Loan of 1917
Campaign Announced.
Three Billion Dollars lnvolved-Per
Capita Apportionment s25-New
Organization More Extensive.

Minneapolis. Sept 24-Upon the
personal request of Secretary William
G. McAdoo of the Treasury Depart.
vey ID. Gibson, Chief Executives Of the
American Red Cross, Arthur r. Rog-
ers. manager OF the northern division
of that organization. has been tempo
rarily released from service. to take
charge of an organization which is
being formed TO handle and control
the participation of the northwestern
states in the Second Liberty Loan of
1917. Ii is expected that the Ninth
reserve district will be called upon
to buy not less than s125,000,000 of
war bonds of the Second Liberty Loan
issue
Chairman Rogers saw service in the
first Liberty Loan campaign last May
and June. during which the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve District bought war bonds
to the extent of more than $4,000, 900.
Campaign Starts Oct. I.
The work of distributing the new
Liberty Loan bonds of the second is
sue to the people of the Northwest
will begin shortly after Oct. /. The
amount and rate OF interest on the
second Liberty Loan have not yet been
announced by the Treasury Depart.
ment, which will have c>ntrol of the
sale OF the bonds over the whole
United States. and acting under its
authority. the Federal Reserve Bank
of Minneapolis will be officially re-
sponsible for the campaign In the
Ninth Federal Reserve District. but
has delegated the active work to Cen
eral Chairman Rogers and his organi-
zation.
The campaign organization for the
second Liberty Loan will be much
more extensive than any organization
Ii was possible to form on short no
tice for the handling of the first great
War Loan. and will probably involve
the services of twice or three times
/ the number of men.
Higher Interest Rate Seen.
II is probable that the new war
/ bonds will bear a more attractive rate
4 of interest than the bonds Of the first
/ Liberty Loan issue and 1t is regarded
as certain that the plan of issuing
them in denominations suitable to the
requirements of every individual will
! be followed
1t is considered probable that the
second War Loan will involve the sale
of $4,000, 100000 of new United States
bonds. The immensity of the task Is
illustrated by the fact that the appor-
tionment for the Northwest will mean
the sale of approximately s25 bond
for every man, woman and child In
the entire Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict.

BEING TIRED

acquire by hard work.
Nobody's discovered a rem
