Third Liberty Loan.

Iowa Is going to- surprise her.
self and the nation, in this third
Liberty Loan drive" said C. H. Nc
Nider, state chairman for Iowa to-
day, upon his return from Chicago
where he conferred with chairmen
Federal Reserve District
~ We have analysed the record of
each country in Iowa for the first
two Liberty Loan campaigns and
we have discovered what the trouble
was in the counties which failed to
intensive organization, continued
Mr.. McNider. For instance. | have
in mind two Iowa counties, adjacent
to each other and about equal in
population, wealth and bank re-
sources; one of these counties sold
only eight per cent of it's quota,
while the e.. other county sold III IL per per
of interest; it was not lack of pat
lriotism; it was simply lack of the
fright kind of organization.
Another discovery we have made
| is that in some counties not more
than one-thlrd of the population was
ton obtained to a remarkable de-
gree in rural sections and was re-
sponsible for the unfair criticism
that some of our Iowa farmers were
not willing to buy their share Of
Liberty Bonds. Our analysis shows
that in every county, where the
farmers were personally canvassed,
the rural districts responded just as
quickly and generously as did the
cities and towns.
For this third Liberty Loan cam
paign ! have the promise Of every
county chairman that he will guar
antee his committee will personally
call on every Individual in the
couny who ought to buy bonds.
Our district chairmen are going to
cooperation constantly with the
county chairmen, and my office will
check results through a system of
daily reports and weekly confer
ences.
NO group of men has any more
LOYALTY and pep than has this grOun
of busy Iowans who have agreed to
Iput Iowa over the top in the third
Liberty Loan campaign. These
men, in turn, will be aided by en-
tEusiastic committeeman. They are
going to make a wonderful. record
fer Iowa and the only compensation
any one Of them will receive will be
the satisfaction that comes from a
duty well done, and the thanks OF
grateful people. We have made
up our minds to get one hundred
per cent or better-and that is all
| there is to it.

Lloyd simmons to France.

The many friends of Lloyd Sim
mons were just a little surprised
last week when it was learned that
he was quietly making his plans to
leave for France to enter the serv-
ice of the allies in the worlds great
war.
Mr.. Simmons was reluctant to
give any facts relative to the service
he has volunteered but from init
mate friends it has been learned
that he offered his service to the
United States Government with the
condition that he be allowed to
serve without pay and that he be
permitted to pay his own. expenses
The quiet sacrifice he is making
the community in which he grew to
manhood and has continued to make
his home. While his friends receiv-
ed the item of his intention with
some surprise, the patriotic service
he has volunteered is characteristic
of MIR. Simmons He departed for
New York last week from where he
for some u port in France. At the
time of leaving Osceola he was not
advised as to what his assignment
to duty might be. He knew only
that he was going to serve his coun-
try. Being years beyond the &C.
ceptable age required for army serv-
ice and being a man of rare bust
ness ability, Mr.. Simmons, will not
doubt, be assigned to some respon-
ible position Of trust, requiring un-
usual tact and business experience.
Be that as it may he has proffer-
ed his service without reserve as to
the assignment that may be made
or any other condition. Mrs. Sim
mons will make her home in Des
Moines during the absence of her
husband.-Osceola Sentinel.
