son County Will Put On the Drive
For Fourth LOan-COunty
Has Clean Record.

The time is rapidly drawing near
when the people of the United States
will be called upon to subscribe for
fourth Liberty Loan.
w. d. James, chairman of the JEFF
ferson County Council of Defense, has
been appointed by the U. S. Treas
ury Department as chairman of this
Fourth Liberty Loan Committee of
jefferson county. This means that the
Jefferson County Council of Defense,
through it's local councils will put it
across in Jefferson county. The local
councils have all demonstrated their
willingness to make every effort to-
ward the success of the movement and
detailed plans will shortly be pub
ished. The quota has not as yet been
received but we are told to prepare
for the largest that has ever been
given.
Through a misprint the current is
sue OF Forward" the official organ
of the State Council of Defense, does
not give Jefferson county full credit in
the matter of the first two Liberty
loans, but the County Council Of De-
Tense is in possession of letter from
the U. S. Treasury Department which
states that in the matter of the three
Liberty loans we have clean record
of better than 100 percent.
1t is not necessary at this time to
call attention to the efficient work
that the Jefferson County Council of
Defense and it's corps of workers have
done in the past, it is already matter
of history that they have been success
full in all established lines of defense
work, and in addition to this have
just finished most successful under
taking along the lines Of stimulation
of patriotic endeavor in the series of
patriotic Sundays" by which the
people of the county were privileged
to hear speakers of nation wide repu-
tatiOn and obtain valuable infOrma-
ton on all phases of the war situation.
Every preparation is being made to
facilitate the work in this campaign.
Liberty Loan headquarters with a
corps Of workers will be opened in
each of the cities and villages where
councils are located, and through the
courtesy Of the owner, William
Spaeth, the building on Main street,
Fort Atkinson, formerly occupied by
Blacks grocery, will be used as the
county headquarters.
Through the Woman's organization
thousands Of letters and printed mat
ter will be sent out over the county
and Judge Rogers, chairman of the
Speakers bureau, is making arrange

Amsterdam-The services of the

the official war food department

throughout the diocese, at which
the local priests and clergy will
preside and emissaries of the de-

instruction and arguments designed
to answer complaints regarding
food scarcity and against the sever
ity of punishments for small trans
gressions of the food reguIat ions
There are also many complaints
in the country districts over the
intricacy and inadeduacv of the
food regulations, and these com
plants generally reach first of all
the ears of the parish priests. The

editorial approving of the scheme

YOUTH WAS HERO
UNTIL END, SAYS
HOSPITAL NURSE

That Corporal Edward D. Pritch-
ard of Geneseo died a hero is the
message received by his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. D. c. Pritchard, from
Harriet l. Leete. chief nurse at an
American hospital in France, who
was so thoughtful as to send a
consoling message to his hom.
shortly after the funeral.
According to the letter, Corporal
Fritchard was admitted to the hos
pital June 10, after having sun
fered from a gas attack and incur
ring severe injuries in the leg. He
died June 10. The nurse, who was
with him when he died, says that
the hospital was not crowded and
that he received every possible at
tention.
Your son was one of the brav-
est soldiers l ever expect to see
and was a great fayorite in the
hospital" writes the nurse. He
never complained and seemed to
have only two grievances. One
could not again get after the boche.
and the other that he was afraid
he might make somebody some
trouble.
"A short service was held at
the hospital and he was laid away
in a beautiful spot in the woods.
Nurses and doctors and a guard of
honor were there. and flowers
were arranged on his casket by the
nurses.
ANY personal belongings that he

are glad to have him die as a sol

Housing Headquarters.

According to an announcement
made this morning by c. Z. White,
chairman of the federal housing
committee, Moline manufacturers
Will bear so per cent of the ex-
pense of maintaining an Office for
the committees headquarters This
decision was reached at a meeting
held at the Commercial club. Re
tail merchants have already agreed
to shoulder 20 per cent of the ex-
pense. 1t is estimated that the
cost OF equipment and mainte-
nance Of the Moline Office for one
year will approximate $4,000.
The Moline office of the commit
tee to be known as the United

cusSed at the conference this
morning and J. F. Kelly, represen-

PLENTY OF FOOD
OVER IN FRANCE
WRITES MOLINER

France is the place where you
can get your white bread nowadays,
says Paul Gullberg, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. August Gullberg of Moline, in
a letter to Colonel Hjalmar Kohler.
American fighters are being allot-
ted plenty of food and the best of
rations as result of the sacrifices
being made at home.
81 happened to meet an Associ-
ated Press correspondent the other
day who had just returned from
three weeks in the States" he
writes. He surprised me very
much when he said that there ap-
peared to be more food in France
than in the States. and that the
only white bread he had had for a
long time was what he had obtained
here. And we certainly can not
kick on the food. We get white
bread at all meals and as much
as we want. So if people have any
doubts as to how we are fed over
here will say that there is no rea-
son to worry. OF course the men
in the trenches have to go without
grub probably for days at a time,
but then those cases are in the mi
nOrity. We surely can not COM
plain
''Of course, there never was any
doubt in the last year as to what
the outcome of this war would be-
he continues, but the idea is to get
it finished as soon as possible, and
it will take the Americans to do it,
and from the way they have started
fighting it will not take very many
years to end this We will lose
men, maybe a great many, but you
can rest assured that they will at
tain the detectives when once they
set out"
