BOND MEETINGS
WILL Be HELD
Township chaIrmen Are Arranging
for Public Speaking in Every Com
r,unlty in Lee County
Soon.
NEWSPAPERS USED MOST
Every Means Possible to Disseminate
Information is Being Utilized
in the Liberty Bond
Campaign.

That there shall be no excuse of
lack of information about the third
Liberty bond loan, Is the determine
ton of the campaign committee hav-
ing the sale Of the bonds in charge.
Newspapers are relied on chiefly
for publicity, of course, and the pa
pers Of the country are giving space
freely to boost the sale of the bonds.
All the papers in Lee county are 60
ing the limit in this regard, in line
with the other papers of Iowa and
the United States. One phase of the
newspaper work is the approval by
the campaign authorities of the plan
of merchants and manufacturers in
every town buying space in the pa
pers to run display advertising on
the loan, copy for which is furnished
by national headquarters to every
paper.
A large supply OF posters and win
dow hangers has been distributed all
over the country and in every town
and city in Lee county. Every pos.
sible way is being utilized to attract
attention to the great need of the
government for money to whip the
kaiser.
Public Meetings Everywhere.
Public meetings with good speakers
are to be used to a great extent to
disseminate information about the
third Liberty loan.
A few have been held in Lee coun-
ty already, and township chairmen
plan many others during the cam
paign.
Each township chairman determines
the time, place and other details OF
the meetings in his territory. Hav-
ing fixed these, he makes requisition
for speaker who is furnished by
the county chairman. This bureau Of
the work of the county chairman has
been placed in charge of Clarence E.
Dickey, Of Keokuk, who has a list Of
speakers subject to orders. He an
swers the acquisitions of the town
ship chairmen, adjusts conflicts in
time and place and sees to 1t that
each community gets as near what 1t
desires as is possible.
The four minute men have been in
charge of Mr.. Dickey for long time,
and these are being utilized, not only
for the township meetings. but in
their routine work in the moving pic
ture theatres, devoting themselves
just now to the Liberty bonds.
A big general meeting will be held
in keokuk next Tuesday evening and
in Fort Madison ON Wednesday with
speakers of national celebrity.

The motion will come to vote to-
morrow and prohibition leaders ex-
pect to reach final vote on the
amendment within a few days un-
less more pressing legislation dis

Sentiment in Favor
OF Wire Control Is
Growing in Senate

Washington, July l0.-With formal
presentation to the senate today OF
the interstate commerce committees 5
favorable report on the house resolu-
ton empowering the president to
operate wire and radio systems dur
ing the war, sentiment for the admin
istration measure apparently in
creased, and leaders predicted that it
would be passed before the end of
the week.
Chairman Smith of the interstate
commerce committee announced that
the resolution will be called up for
consideration tomorrow, and if pro-
longed debate appears probable. an
effort will be made to hasten a vote
by dsplacing the prohibition bill.
Managers of the latter measure, it
was said, are willing to have the wire
control legislation given the right-of-
way.
Adoption Of the measure was re-
garded as certain by the administra-
ton managers, while some of the
principal opponents privately admit
little possibility Of its defeat.
