,all-dav meeting, which eliminated in
a mass meeting in the Pinney theater
in the evening, when the result OF the

also present 1t was a great meeting,
full of patriotic inspiration and fervor.
Many of the speakers were veterans
of recent battles in France and women
workers in Red Cross service and
,canteens who had seen with their own
ewes the awfulness of war and the
fiendish atrocity of the Hun hordes.
They had wonderful stories to tell
stories that gripped the heart and
made us who are left at home feel
how small was the sacrifice as COM
pared to that which is being made by
our allies and our own boys on the
far-fung battle line, even though we
gave in money and work to the up
most limit. And again one was i'm
pressed with the earnestness, devotion
and unselfishness of the men and
women who have given up their own
business interests, pleasures, time to
the great cause-men of large exc
cutive and business ability, men OF
small means-all giving without stint
and without recompense to the service
of their country. Is it any wonder
that SO faithful, so brave, so heroic |
are our bows in their campaigns |
against the enemy!
in their campaigns against the enemy.
At the county meeting yesterday,
Chairman Craig stated that while the
amount of bonds to be called for has
not been definitely settled, it is ex-
pected that it will be between bill
lion and billion dollars; that the
quota is based on the valuations as
shown by the tax assessment roll and
by bank deposits. After considerable
discussion, it was decided to send to
every taxpayer in Gem county cir
cuIar letter setting forth the facts in
regard to the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds and urging every one to make
his subscription on Saturday Septem-
Der %, which is volunteer subscrip-
ton day. Those that do this will
save the committee a large amount
of work and trouble. 1t is hoped
that every one will volunteer their
funds, lust as Gem county boys have
volunteered to fight our battles. Be
liberal. Give to the limit. Let's make
this drive so successful that it will
be knockout blow to Kaiserism
The county has been divided by
school districts and captain appoint
ed for each to direct the campaign in
his district and to receive subscrip-
tions. The quota for each district is
