Since the road supervisors at their

try roads at the present at least. they
have been rather severely censured

the supervisors recognized that fact
when they said that they were not In

The splendid spirit of patriotism manifested by the bankers throughout ehe Eighth Federal Reserve District in previous Liberty Loan Campaigns is being more than maintained in the preliminary campaign for the Fourth Loan that began June 26. when the first series of 3760. 900. 900 of United States Treasury Certificates of Indebt ednsss wAs offered to the banks.
 No more patriotic and intelligent body of men than the men comprising the banking element exists anywhere They make a deep study of finance They watched the mistakes made by Germany and our Allies in financing the war. and they do not hesitate to place the stamp of approval on the methods adopted by the United States Government to avoid repetition of the mistakes.
 This blan of Certificates of lndebt- edness spreads out the demand thar will be made thiS fall on the country at large for the Fourth Loan, and the rials and labor will go through the channels of commerce and return to the country for reinvestment this fall,
 The certificates form the basis for system of credits which will relieve the country of great strain it would experience if the certificate plan h2d not been adopted.
