BE A VOLUNTEER
 SUNDAY SEPT. 2S

There will be no solicitations for subscriptions for the Fourth Liberty Loan until next week. The school dis trict committee hopes that the citi- zens of this district will voluntarily subscribe the quota for this district.
 In France and England all the gov ernment war loans are taken up by the people without the solicitation of any salesman. Why can't we. We can if every one will do his duty
 We have arranged for booths to take your subscription on Saturday. Sept 28, at the following places;
 Nevada Go. Hdw Co.-Mrs. L. C. Henderson, Mrs. Wren Scott. Mrs. H. B. Mckenzie.
 First State Bank-Mrs. W. B. Wal Ter, Mrs. M NJ. Smyth, Mrs. H. J. Wilson
 Prescott Hdw. Co.-Mrs. Nat Mar tin.
 Bank of Pfescott-Mrs. Jno. A. Davis, Mrs. II. E. Bemis, Mrs. (. C. Hamby.
 Let's go lover the top" on volunteer day, so that your sales committee wont have anything to do but the checking up.
 This county's quota in the Third Liberty Loan was $110I50 and the amount of bonds sold totaled $129,5 ,550
 The quota for the present campaign is considerably larger than for for mer loans, and to reach the sales al lotted, and go over the top and de- monstrate to the worth that our coun- ty is 100 per cent American depends upon the prompt response of our citizens.
 This county has done it's full duty in the past, and now that our boys are on foreign soil, ready to wrest victory from the Hun, there is no question but the loyal citizens of the county will do their full duty.
