TO START SEPTEMBER %

! The organization which will handle
the canvass and sale of bonds for the
| fourth Liberty loan has about been
com pleted so far as the chairmen OF
the different precincts in Lee county
are concerned. All Of these men have
been drafted for this service by the
governme and all OF them are al,
ready completing the plans for the
opening of the campaign which will
occur on Saturday. September %. All
OF the plans have been more carefully
made and the details gone into more
thoroughly than In any of the previous
campaigns because the quota for Lee
county as well as for the entire coun-
try will no doubt be much larger than
heretofore The quotas for the differ
ent localities as well as the interest
that these bonds will bear have not
been given out by Secretary McAdoo,
yet.
Within the next few days there will
be meetings both. in Ft. Madison and
I Keokuk Of the bankers Of these COM
munities so as to determine further
just how the. sale of bonds will be
handled in the various centers of the
country. It is hoped by the county
chairman that all the details of the
purchase Of bonds will be forthcoming
in few days as 1t is quite essential
that each individual prospective bond
purchaser acquaint himself with
these details in order to definitely de-
termine the number of bonds which
he will be able to buy.
The more boys America has In
France and the harder they are push
ing the Huns back, the more need our
government has for money to main
tain the advantages which our brave
soldiers have obtained. It Is a won
derful fight that our boys are putting
up cover there and all America is
proud of them Why shouldn't you
make those boys equally proud of
America by backing them up with an
over-subscription of the fourth Liberty
loan? Buy just few more bonds
than you think is your share just as
you expect your boy to grasp the oppor-
tunity on the battle front and do lit
tie bit more than just what he is COM
PEELED to. He who can't go, but serves
his country by lending his money to
Uncle Sam until he himself feels It
in the sacrifices he is required to make
is equally as great patriot as the man
in the front line. Buy fourth Liberty
loan bonds until you are proud to tell
ABOUT IT.
