The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-10-02

The Liberty Loan "war train
which will be in Richmond tomorrow
evening at GAS o'clock at the Penn
sylvania station, promises to attract
big throng of Richmond and Wayne
county people. The special train will
come from Greenfield and will be
sidetracked probably at the east end
of the station to make it convenient
to the public.
The train will be in charge of gov
ernment officials and a squad Of regu-
lar army soldiers. Hundreds of war
trophies are exhibited, most of them
taken from the battle fields of France.
Lincoln Dixon, representing the gov
ernment, will explain the features of
the exhibit. The general public is
invited to inspect the exhibition,
children being especially invited.
There will be no admission fee.
Shortage is $250,00o.
Liberty Loan sales yesterday and
this morning are reducing the county's s
deficit but by bit, but there was at
noon today shortage of something
more than $250,000. There is a spe-
cial effort being made to interest all
putting the county across the quota
line. Special committees will go forth
again tomorrow and Friday and in
every part of the county the township
organizations are being urged to as
sist in the undertaking.
Scores of persons have gone volun-
tarily to banks in Richmond since
yesterday and have increased their
subscriptions. The fact that Liberty
Loan Bonds a e free from state, coun-
ty and cit, ixes as we'll as federal
taxes, apparently has just begun to
dawn on many persons who have been
putting their earnings in classes of
securities that are subject to tax. The
net earning feature of the Liberty
Bonds, free from all assessment of
whatever kind, is the great dra wing
card just now aside from the patriot
ism of aiding in the movement.
MANY BUY BONDS.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2-First de-
tailed reports from the twelve federal
reserve districts Of the progress of
the campaign for the Fourth Liberty

partment. Messages received prior
to today from the district governors
almost universally had told of vain
efforts to tabulate subscriptions in the
rush of the campaign opening.
While officials today refused to
make public the totals subscribed in
the various districts, pending receipt
of reports from all of them, it was
said subscriptions during the opening
days were larger and more numerous
than at the start of any previous loan
The list of towns and cities over
their quotas continued to
grow today. Reports showed that
Oregon and Indiana would soon be
added to the list of states having
raised their allotments. Iowa and
South Dakota were the first states ''to
go over the top" in the campaign.
