REALLY MEAN
Compelling Subscriptions, Sept.
70 and 70, will be Big Inn
petus for 4th Loan.


the Liberty Loan Organization has
Designated September 2S and 20 as
volunteer Days" is to give final
and definite answer to the German
claims that America is not solidlc
behind the war. 1t is expected that
the subscriptions, great and small,
to the country's call for funds on
those two days will, furnish a reply
which will be like a blow between
the eyes to the Kaiser and his ad-
visors.
Thousands of prospective sub
scribers to the Fourth Liberty Loan
have signified they want the salts
faction of applying for their quotas
without solicitation. They can dis
play their patriotism more effective
" by coming forward unasked cad
signing up than waiting for the soil
citor.
On Sunday, September 90, clergy
men of all denominations will make
strong appeals to their congregations
in favor of thee LOAF. Their theme
will be the necessity of backing up
our carriers in France by supplying
the financial requirements of the
Government. Exhortations for the
day will be to save soldiers rather
than souls.
Businss houses are encouraging
their employees to swell the number
of subscriptions on the two volun-
teer days. A mighty impetus is ex-
pected to be given to the entire drive
by example of the thousands who
will surge forward to get example
for the millions who will constitute
rank and file of buyers of the new
loan.
1t is expected that schools
throughout this district and over
the entire country will feature the
two-day period of preliminary sub
scriptions. Teachers and principals
will explain the meaning of the move
ment, and emphasize the significance
of going over the top early with
subscriptions. Children will be
urged to impart. to parents and
friends the news of the volunteer
days.
There will be work in abundance
for the army of solicitors when the
actual drive gets under way, and a
bulky showing in names and totals
well the quotas of the various
estimable degreee in drawing the
subscriptions later on which will
swoll the quotatas of the various
districts, and finally put the loan as
q whole across with gusto and &C
claim far exceeding that of the pre-
ceding isues.
Volunteering on the two days
does not only mean specifically buy
ing bonds, but as well includes Civ
ing every sort of unsolicited service.
to make the loan a success. Every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try, should become a working unit
to boost subscriptions. Everyone is
expected to tell 10 his friends all he
knows good about Liberty Bonds as
an investment and patriotic service,
and to leave no stone unturned to
promote their sale.
High officials in the loan organiza-
ton believe tho two volunteer days
will be an important factor in MAX
ing the presens issue popular one.
Every volunteer will feel personal
interest in the OUTCOME, for the main
reason that lie has done something
to attain that great object. Pro-
Sress during the heated days of
solicitation will be closely watched
by those who were initial and volun-
seer workers, and until tina full a.
mount asked by Uncle Sam is safely
in bank available for the needs of
our boys in France and the other
lighting lines.
