THIRD Liberty LOAN
Drive Now in Progress With a Large
Organized Selling Force

The third Liberty Loan bond drive
began in this county at o'clock last
Saturday morning by Chairman Gil
bert, aided by the most efficiently or
ganized selling force ever banded to-
gether in this county, and the indica-
tions are that Marathon county will
not only "come over" with its full
allotment in advance of the time set
for the closing of this drive, but will
come with big over subscription.
The previous campaigns had come
on with so little warning that it had
been almost impossible to organize
the working forces as efficiently as
could have been desired, and there
was more or less of duplication of
effort, which will be entirely elimin-
ated this time, nor will anyone be
overlooked.
The county has been divided into
number of districts, each of which
has been placed in charge of chair
man, who has again sub-divided his
territory and named assistants, all of
whom have been officially appointed
by the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank.
To further aid in this work carefully
compiled card index system, covering
not only the city, but every town in
the county has been worked out, this
system showing the amount of prop
erty owned by each individual in the
county, his recorded Indebtedness,
number of acres under cultivation,
value of buildings, number and value
of live stock, amount of Liberty Loan
Bonds previously subscribed for.
amount subscribed 10 Red Cross, and
a large amount of other data, in fact
complete inventory of each resident
of the county, to serve as a guide to
determine "the fair share" of each.
This card INDEX record will be pre-
served and to it will be added data
secured during this drive, so that from
now on each individuaI in the county
will stand upon his own record of
performance.
Following are the names of the Dis
trict Chairmen appointed and the ter
ritory for which each will be RESPONSE

Constipation and Indigestion

These are twin evils. Persons 5uf-
fering from indigestion are often trou-
bleG with constipation. Mrs. Robert
Allison, Nation, H.. writes that when
she first moved to Mattoon she was a
great sufferer from indigestion and
constipation. Food distressed her and
there was feeling like heavy weight
pressing on her stomach and chest.
She did not rest well at night, and
felt worn out good part of the time.
One bottle OF Chamberlain Tablets
corrected this trouble so that she has
since felt like a direrent person.

districts appointments have been
made as follows, and this taken in con-

with its fair share, but will be able

shoulders:

SAVE THE LIST

O1aN u LID
1t will be well to cut out and save
the list of apportionment given above,
as the results of the drive each week
will be published and by having the
apportionment of each town and vii
lage at hand, it will be easy to figure
out just what progress is being made
in each subdivision of the county.
Some interesting things are looked
for. There will be keen rivalry
among several of the villages, in three
or four of which the allotment will
be passed before the end of the first
week. Some of the towns also show
much in excess of the amount allotted
milk and cream for the next three
months in these Liberty Loan Bonds
bearing Az per cent interest, the best
security obtainable in the world and
bearing higher rate of interest than
any conservative bank can afford to
pay.

- the substitute for flour. AS re-

eonsumers in purchasing flour, must
aarchase an equal amount of wheat

srs the wheat flour and the substi-
tute must be purchased in equal
ouantities. That Is. a householder who
nurehaqes ten pounds of wheat flour
must also purchase ten pounds Of
flour substitute. such as graham or
Indian meal or something OF that
nature. Inasmuch as these substi-
tutes have heretofore not always
been obtainable. and have cost the
retail buyer more than the wheat
flour. the rule has not been rigidly
enforced. but from this time on the
question Of price will not be consid-

purchase in $3.50 lots, provided that
the substitutes are obtainable. In or
