LET'S GO OVER THE TOP
County Chairman 10 Setting Maehin'
cry in Motion for Drive Which
Opens on April 9Th.

to buy $4,000 worth of the new Lib
erty bonds, according to word received
Friday by County Chairman NJ. r.
Jones from John A. Cavanaugh. vice
president OF the Des Moines National
bank and chairman of the quota CON-
mittee for Iowa in the third Liberty
bond drive. which opens April 9Th. In
stead OF apportioning the amount to
the various counties in Iowa accord.
ing to their population, Mr.. Cavangh
has apportioned. the amount to Craw.
ford county. and to all the other ninety.
eight counties, according to banking
resources. This is considered much
fairer and satisfactory.
The experience derived from the first
two drives will be utilized to good ad'
vantage in Iowa in the third Liberty
bond drive. Mr.. Cavanagh contended
that population was not the right bas-
is on which to appOrtiOn quotas, for
prosperity does not always or neces.
sarily keep pace with population. He
argues that it would be much faHer
to ask the various counties and the
various individuals to contribute &C
cording to their financial worth and
this is how the quota Of Crawford
county, and all the others here in Iowa,
was figured out Banking resources
include cash ON hand in the banks,
notes, real estate owned and in fact
all the banks assets. The sum total
of all the resources Of all the banks
in Crawford county was figured out.
The Liberty bond quota was then de-
termined in the proportion which these
county banking resources bear to the
banking resources Of the entire state.
This simply means that all Of the coun.
ties in Iowa will be called upon to do
their bit proportionate to their means
and that the third Liberty bond drive
will be systematized much better than
the first two. Mr.. Cavanagh has just
returned to Des Moines from Washing
ton, where he was in conference with
officials of the treasury department
and authorized the announcement OF
this county's quota as stated above.
M. E., Jones, county chairman of the
third Liberty bond drive In Crawford
county, in forms the Review that he
does not propose to stop when the al
lotted amount is sold, but does pro-
pose to put Crawford county "over the
top" and the campaign will be con-
Quoted until a half million dollars
worth Of bonds are sold-thirty thous-
ands dollars worth more than the quota
as made.
Mr.. Jones is setting the machinery
in motion for the drive which opens on
April 9th. The campaign will be sys'
tematic and every township in the coun
ty will be canvassed. There will be
no slackers, stated Mr.. Jones to Re-
view representative, and every man
will subscribe his share OF the issue.
Crawford county must and will back
its boys in the trenches, and the only
way they can do it properly Is by
Tor this issue OF Liberty
bonds" said Mr.. Jones. The slogan
in Crawford county for the next thirty
days will be BUY Liberty bond"
Crawford county will maintain its rep
utation throughout the state as being
a county which does big things in
big way. Let every man. woman and
child in the county put their shoulder
to the wheel and see that Crawford
does 80 lover the top" and in big
way.
