al opening of the campaign for the

Bonds.
In Fremont county. April 9Th will be
observed as a sort of holiday. There
will be parades. meetings and address,
es at various places. The actual cam
paign for selling the bonds win be-
gin Tuesday, April 10th.
On April 10th the Fremont County

five captains. in command OF more
than three hundred men and women,
will take the field-.Go over the top"

paratory work In this he has been
aided by large corps of sterograph-
ers and assistants. all of whom. ea-
cepting the stenogYaphers and the
secretary, are serving without pay.
and those who get pay receive only
nominal salaries. 1t is believed by

thing like s35.O0O was subscribed.

about ten persons to each precinct
These ten are under the command of
a captain. The forces of the First
Commissioners district are under
