SEPTEMBER 28 IS
FIXED AS LOAN DAY

St. Paul, Sept. 14.-Governo Burn
qilist has issued a proclamation des-
ignating Saturday, September 2S, as
Liberty Loan subscription day.
He urges cooperation of all citi-
zens and suspension of business as
necessary to make an excellent show
ing in the new loan drive.
The governors proclamation fol-
lows:
"On September 2S will be begun
another intensive campaign for Lib
erty Loan subscription. In most Sec
tions of the country the campaign
will extend to October 10, but in our
district the plans contemplate, October
3 as the closing date.
sAYThe amount Of Min nesota's allot.
ment for this campaign is somewhat
larger than that Of the Third Loan.
The portion assigned to us however,
should be easily raised, for Mime
sota's crops have this year been boun-
tiful and will tend to increase the
prosperity of all our people. A most
critical time in the progress Of the
war has been reached. A quick and
generous response to the solicitation
of bonds will add new courage to oul
fighters, strengthen the morale OF
ourselves and our Allies and give an
other severe blow to the Central pow
ers."
