SsAOO1 0l0ItICS
The people Of this county are ex.
pected to subscribe for and purchase
during 1918 War Saving Stamps to
the maturity value of s42, 10000 In
order to distribute this allotment of
War Saving Stamps equitably among
the various parts of the county, a
quota will be assigned for each school
district which will be stated at the
opening of the meeting in each
school house on June 28th.
In order to raise the total amount
from this county, it will he nccess-
ary that each school district sub.
scribe the amount allotted to it.
This will not impose any burden on
any persons in the district if each
person does his duty, and the per-
sons conducting the meetings in
each school district will be instruct.
ed to insist upon the total amount
allotted to it being subscribed before
the meetings are adjourned.
In addition to the foregoing will
say that the sale of War Saving
Stamps is a part of the Government
program for financing the war.
Never i'll its history has our countay
been faced with the necessity of pro-
viding for the payment of such
large sums of money as it is now
called upon to meet.
The people of Sioux county can
prcform no greater service to their
country, their associates, or them
selves than by giving their earnest
support to further in every way the
sale of War Saving Stamps among
the men, women and children with
whom they come in daily contact.
The population of Sioux County
is 2135 and the allotment is $42, 700
Or per capita of $1,000 each from
now until December 81, 1918. l
earnestly hope that every one will
do their bit towards putting Sioux
county "OvER THE TOP"

hell with the Kaiser il he showed
up here.

first American Indian in this place

They say that this is the strongest
fort in the world, and there are
