according to Chief Huber. and when
the department arrived no blaze could

Owing to the hour the fire started,

THIRTEEN MORE DAYS
To Raise Mason COunty's Allotment
to Third Liberty Loan.

Mason county's subscription to the
third Liberty Loan was increased by
$10,SOO Friday bringing the total up
to $2S7,5OO. Thirty-eight subscribers
were added to the list making total
of 56S. In order to raise the s443,4OO
allotted to Mason county within the
thirteen days remaining a general
average of $4,000 day must be
maintained. 1t is up to the patriotic
citizens Of the county to say whether
or not this will be done.
Many of our neighboring counties
have not only raised, but have exceed
ed their allotments. Yet, Mason coun-
ty, the very best county in the state,
has balance of s155,9OO to over come
before reaching the goal. We have
never failed to meet the governments
call in the past. How about the
Third Liberty Loans.
