PROMPT ACTION IS URGED

Cards were mailed today to 1000
Burleigh county people among whom
has been allotted the county's half-mil-
lion share of Dakota's $19,0OO,O0O of
the Fourth Liberty loan of 100000
600.
The general and local committees
have carefully gone over the appor
tionments. Each individual has been
assigned the amount which has APP
peared to be his just share, and he
will be expected to sign up for this
amount without bubble.
Burleigh county's quota is double
that Of any previous loan. At the same
time, it is believed that as a general
proposition Burleigh is twice as we'll
able to subscribe as it has been in the
case of any previous loan.
In apportioning North Dakota's $l9-
100000 of the Fourth Liberty loan, the
big end Of the slice has been assigned
the Red River valley, which has just
threshed and is now marketing the
greatest crop in all its history.
Central North Dakota will be asked
to subscribe less proportionately than
the Red Rived valley, and the Slope,
west of the river, will be asked for
still less than is to come from the
central section Of the state.
NO district is asked to do the I'M
possible, and Liberty Loan managers
intNorth Dakota expect this big cam
paign to go over with bang. Govern
or Frazier has urged that it be made
asOne.day drive. This Burleigh coun-
ty hopes to do. If everyone who has
Deen assizned quota signs up Satur-
day as requested, there will be no
need for canvassing. and Burleigh
county will have An opportunity to
rank among the communities first
over the top"

The big Fellow" will be hardest

afford to take 100000 worth of bondes
will not get off with $1,000 The man
