military affairs committee, in the
interest of getting the truth to the
people does not publish the testimony
of Walter S. Clifford, of the council

General Leonard Wood with regard
to the lack of airplanes.
Lodge replied the committee doubt

in France was shown at the meeting
held in Fort Madison last evening.

Statesmen to be Posted.

Statesmen TO oe foStSo.
John A. Dunlap, county chairman.
called the meeting to order in the
commercial club rooms at 1880 o'clock.
He explained the organization of the
county down to school districts and in
dividual statesmen. The township
statesmen reported a very satisfactory
response to their call for statesmen,
few claiming exemption on any al
legged ground.
The card system was explained in
detail. There are white cards for
property statement of every property
owner in each township which will be
in the hands Of the statesmen before he
sees the prospect. A pink card is to
report the man who does not buy near
ly as many bonds as he should and the
blue card is to report those who do
not buy any bonds although they
should do so.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-03-26
The Reasons and Methods.

While insisting upon the use of the
pink and blue cards by the township
men to report slackers and promising
that they would have the real atten-
ton Of the government, Chairman
Dunlap said that it is not the inten-
ton of the treasury department to
harass any man into buying more
bonds than his actual ability justifies.
1.-The necessity for buying these
bonds is the support Of the United
States government when it needs it
sorely." said Mr.. Dunlap, land the de-
STABILITY of buying these bonds rests
in their being good investment; the
advisability Of buying these bonds is
because the man who does not buy
when he can will spend the rest Of his
life regretting his failure to do this
patriotic act for in future years not
to have bought Liberty bond will be
more or less of a disgrace among peo-
pie Of means"
