ONE.DAY DRIVE TO BE MADE TO
SELL BONDS FOR FOURTH
LOAN.
SEPTEMBER ssTH THE BIG DAY
Liberty Loan Committee and Council
of Defense Cooperate in Putting
on Drive.

little d0Nbt that this county Will
raise its quota on the first day of the
campaign In this way.
In former campaigns It has been
necessary for solicitors to give much
time and use their cars and spend
theiruwn money in other ways;tD visit
their nAiehbors to ask theU 10 do what
every loyal citissn sAsnld be glad to
do. In this campaign the committees
will meet in places centrally located
Throughout tie county and there re-
cei.e the subscriptiu1s of their neigh
bors. The people aEe asked to 60 to
tie committees just AZ they 30 to the
p6lls to vote or to register tor military
I service and in this way there is no
great burasn on anyone and the whole
thing can be accompIished IN one day,
whereas In previo1s loans the commit
4 &ses have had to spend thrze and fou:
weeks in soliciting and checking up
their records, making daily reports
Uf progress and using tim1 which can
be more profitably used otherwise.
The meeting places for the whole
county will be announced in next
weeks papers For Manchester, the
Court Room has been decided upon, all
wards coming to one place.
The committees have gone over the
lists carefully, revising them and fig
uring each persons quota and every
person in the county who is able TO
do so. II he fails to come to the COM
mittee will be looked up and dealt
with by the Council of Defense if he
has no good reason for not taking his
share in the county quota. Anyone
who finds that his quota is figured
for less than he can take should take
more. 1t is the best investment he
can make and brings victory that
much nearer. II anyone honestly be-
! slieyes that he cannot take as much as
the committee has assigned him he Is
asked to explain the situation to his
local committee and reach an agree
-ment with them. There is no reason
for anyone to take offense. The COM
mittees are serving purely from a
sense of duty and patriotism and If
they make mistakes they should be
overlooked, because we are all trying
to do our best to win this war and per-
sonal feelings must be forgotten until
the job is done.
1t is not yet known what Delaware
county's quota will be, as the treasury
department has not announced the
amount of the loan but it is expected
to be six billion. It is not expected
that this county will be asked to raise
much more than was raised in the
Third loan, as the county raised 1877
per cent of its quota for three billion
which would almost make the quota
for six billion unless there is change
in figuring quotas.
Although the bonds offer the safest
and best investment in the world, the
great reason which appeals to us as
the compelling inducement to pur-
chase is the fact that in this way we
/ can most efficiently help in winning
the war. The bonds provide the food
and clothing, transportation, guns and
ammunition necessary for our boys
over there to continue the glorious
work they are doing, and while they
are making us so proud Of them we all
want to make them proud of US by do
ing our share in the big job. The
bonds are an insurance policy against
the Huns, preserving our homes
and families from the desolation
wrought in Belgium, France, Serbia
and Armenia, and unlike fire insur-
ance, we get from our bonds both pro-
lection and our money back in full
with Az per cent interest.
Ten per cent of subscriptions must
be paid at the time the bonds are sub
scri3ed for, so remember to bring the
money with you on September 2Sth.
The balance of the money is to be paid
as follows: 20 per cent November 81;
20 per cent December 10th; 20 per
cent Jan. 18th and 80 per cent January
3Oth.
The County Council of Defense, 'un-
der the leadership Of Fred H. Mum
son the new chairman, is co-operat-
ing with the Liberty Loan organiza-
tion in every way. A committee ap-
pointed by the Council of Defense will
work. with each township chairman,
both in figuring individual quotas
and receiving subscriptions, and those
who fail to take bonds will be dealt
with by the Council Of Defense.
