Preparations are already be-
made for the fourth Liberty
Loan drive. The executive
committee for Power county
: has decided to make each
: school district a unit. Each
school district will be expected
; to subscribe its quota. which
+ will be decided upon just as
500 as we receive our county's
quota from the state.
: Each district will be credited
with all subscriptions received
from il. and honor flags award
ed to each district going over
the top.
The campaign for this drive,
will begin Saturday, September
rs and close October 10. The
: greatest stress is being laid,
however. upon volunteer sub
scriptions.
: All persons having their sub
scriptions in the hands of the
district committee on or be-
fore September IS are volun-
teer subscribers.
Why should any citizen of
Power county wait for a solicit
; tor to call upon them for their
subscription? Their time is no
; NOR valuable than the com
; mittees' and as patriots we are
; expected to look up the COM
mittee in our district and sub
scribe. Don't wait to be ask
ed. BE a volunteer.

then goes on to say that he wants only
$500 q year for installing the new
course.
