Quota.
Saturday, Sept 2S, is the Liberty
Loan day in Winneshiek county.
"Over the Top in one day is the
slogan of the liberty loan commit
| ties.
Monday morning, Sept. 80.
chairman r. A. Alyger, of the
county liberty loan committee wants
to be able to wire td4tate headquar-
ters that Winneshiek county has
subscribed it's quota in one day.
At meeting of the different chair
men and solicitors held at the court
house yesterday afternoon it was de-
cided to do the work in lone day,
that is have all subscribers to the
Fourth loan go to their respective
Ipolling places throughout the county,
land hand in their subscriptions.
This program is for the women just
the same as the men. This program
is being carried out In many other
Iowa Communities and saves lot of
unnecessary travelling, in trying to
locate residents of the county who
must buy bonds. Remember go to
the polling places and hand in your
Subscription.
Great stress will be laid this time
on the small bond subscriptions
from persons of good income but
small net worth. Even tho a person
does not possess sufficient net worth
to come under this percentage the
IGovernment expects him to buy one
'or more of the $50 bonds If he has
a sufficient income to meet the easy
terms OF payment offered by the
BANKS There are many persons who
can in this way do their part to help
win this war and at the same time be
doing themselves good turn by
saving money and laying it away in
the safest possible form.
During the Third Liberty Loan
Campaign in this county 80 per cent
Iof the people made subscriptions to
the loan and 1t is hoped this time by
interesting more of the smaller bond
holders that 40 per cent of the peo-
pie of the county will become stock
holders in our Government. This is
everybody's war and while the prop
portion to their worth to protect
their property it is just as much the
duty of the person who is getting
good wages to invest what he can
spare from bis receipts in these
bonds. These securities must be
largely bought out of current in
come and other means of spending
curtailed Things will win this war.
Our government must buy things
for our soldiers, guns, clothing, food,
munitions, trucks, ships and number
less other things. These things all
have to be made. If the people OF
the United States do not curtail
their expenditures for things there
won't be enough for the government
Ito buy, and there won't be labor
enough to make them for both our
usual needs and these extraordinary
Government needs. So 1t is strictly
.lup to each one to curtail his expen-
lditures to only such things as are
absolutely essential and to obligate
himself to pay for Liberty Bond
with the money he would otherwise
use for some unessential purpose.
Plan to buy one Of these bonds on
the 2Sth of this month, whether yor
have sufficient net worth to come
under the percentage plan or not.
Pershing has now figured out that
to win this war We must have GER
tain amounts of guns. shells, and
supplies, by next Spring. and that II
Ihe is not supplied with these things
Iby that time the war will be prolong-
ed and that he will therefore have
Ito spend more men. 1t is either
money or men that we are going TO
lspend to win this war. Which VIII II
Ibe? II these Liberty Bonds VIII
save the lives of men, there can be
but one answer, and Winneshiek
lcounty's answer will be registered
lon September 2sth and 18th by eyery
man, woman and child in this county
Iwho can possibly buy bond, buying
AN they can stagger under.
