was taken.
Mr.. McFetridge added it was useless
to make a bluff that could not be
backed up.
A Painting Party
Charles Pearson said they almost
had a painting party at La Vale dur
ing the last loan. A family refused
to buy and fifty or sixty loyal persons
gathered there one night to paint the
premises yellow. Bonds were bought
J. B. Prouty: A man who will take
the odium of not purchasing bonds Is
not fit to be an American citizen.
Mr.. Bentley: At Beloit they used a
rope. Do not use coercion, but sell
the bonds, he advised.
Mr.. Hanly said some in his neigh
borhood refused to buy and got away
with it,
Voice in the audience said to make
the >ames known and help would ar
rive.
Mr.. Smith said in one county this
plan was followed:
1. Person solicited.
2. Committee called.
3. Person summoned to ap-
pear before an advisory COM
mittee.
All bought bonds.
Publish SIackers
It was then decided to publish the
names of those who do not buy, pro-
viding they are able.
Assemblyman Carpenter asked IL a
person had not bought before how
much now.
Chairman: All he will take.
DIR. Daley: What are the ladies to
do?
Mr.. Bentley: That is to be decided
by the town, village or city chairman
]. B. Weiss, Plain banker asked
about soliciting those who had lost
property in the cyclone.
Mr.. Bentley: If they cannot sub
scribe, have someone else take the
bonds. Each town must raise it's
quota
Mr.. Perry said Plain, Honey Creek
and Franklin should be given no con-
sideration. In the past their contribu-
tions show them to be dislOyal and
they should be smoked out.
Mr.. Weiss said he considered HIM
self just as loyal as anyone and was
willing to do his duty.
It developed in the discussion that
Plain raised her quota for the third
loan.
Mr.. Bentley: People in the county
who are pro-kaiserites should be made
to stand up and not be given any con
sideratiOn.
