DAVIDSON COUNTY TO
GO OVER TOP QUICK

Mitchell, s. D., March 20.-Liberty
loan managers here that they
have worked out a scheme whereby
they hopt to obtain almost all OF the
Dawson county allotment in the next
drive before the big subscription call
Is made.
Every person in the county has been
tabulated along with his or her earn
ing and personal wealth. With these
figures in hand, the committee has APP
portioned the amount Of bonds that
each should buy, taking the averages
of the first two loans as their base fig
ures. Each person will be called an
soon to subscribe the amount named
at least.
While no actual work has been done
towards the subscriptions yet, it is
known that many persons have called
on the chairman of the board and sig.
nified their Willingness to take their
full allotment, and in some cases more.
Public sentiment is favorable TO the
allotment plan. and indications are that
very few persons will have the hardi-
hood to refuse to buy the amount for
which they are set down.

Many Meetings Being Held in
South Dakota Communities
Populated by Germans.

Aberdeen, S. d, March ga num-
Der Of Liberty loan meetings rave been
held during the past week in Edmunds
county, especially in those communi-
ties which are largely German ! n popu-
latioE. The meetings nave been ed
dressed by both men and women speak
ers. who have explained in detail the
purposes of the United States in the
war, the necessity for subscribing for
the Liberty bonds, and the good work
being lone by the Red Cross. At every
meeting the attendance has been large,
and the speakers say that II is thelr
belief that the shortage in contribu-
tons in German speaking nelgnDor-
hoods las been due to ack of Informal
ton, for which they blame German
language newspapers In the state to
some extent. One of the speakers at
some of the meetings has been DR.. +.

lean of German descent, who is a close
personal friend of +. w. Sallett, pub
Usher Of the Deutsche Freie Presse, and

memberships for the party.
They left town on foot after a MOB

ton, it is said, of employing tar and
feathers.
Frederick, who is a German social

trict court, with q other socialists OF
Hutchinson county, some months ago
on charges OF violating the espionage

propaganda in the state, was forcibly
elected from Mitchell, S. D., recently
when he went there to attend the state
convention Of the socialist party.
