Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign


At a meeting of all County chair
men held in Des Moines September 8,
1T was announced that it is the pur-
pose OF the State Liberty Loan organ
ization to put this drive over during
the first three days Of the campaign
which begins Sept 18th. It is hoped
that all meetings held for the pur-
pose of taking subscriptions will not
be held later than Sept 80, Monday.
While the Treasury Department
has not yet, announced the exact
amount, rate and term of the coming
loan, it is generally understood that
1t will be on the same plan as the last
loan except as to the amount and
this will probably be about twice as
large as the amount asked for the
third loan, or probably five or six
billions.
Owing to the drouth damage in
southwestern Iowa the committees
interested are trying to make ar
engagements whereby the quotas will
be materially reduced in counties
where the damage has been sustained.
Other parts of the state have con-
scented, so we understand, to increase
their quotas to some extene so that
this part Of the state may be relieved
in part and the state as whole vet
fully subscribe the quota assigned to
it. When such reductions are worked
out the quotas will be finally arrang-
ed and the proper reductions passed
along down the line to each individual
affected. A committee in this county
is expected to carefully examine con-
ditions this week and report. In a
short time now the quotas will be
worked out and assigned and the
meetings called in each township at
which property owners are to appear
and make their subscriptions for the
bonds.

she knew the cost must be! We're
going to fight in defense of those
principles of human liberty which
were laid down nineteen centuries
ago by that first great teacher and
preacher of human rights-the MAN
of GALILEE!
Every iota of the philosophy and
creed of HATE, and BLOOD, and of
VIOLENCE, and BEsTIALITY, and
diabolic Cruelty, and human enslave-
ment, that mark every footstep of
the Kaiser and his cohorts of HE'LL
are in direct and damnable OPPOSE
ton to every thought, every word,
and deed of the Man of Galilee!
There is therefore no fight of
Democracy against Tutocracy. It is
no battle of Nation against Nation.
1t is no contest of Man against Man.
1t is titanic struggle between Right
and Wrong; between the philosophy
of Jesus Christ and the power of
EVIL, through the earthly defenders
of each!
And we're going to Fight-Fight-
Fight side by side with our fellows,
in the cause of HUMANITY, until
there is no vestige left on all this
earth, of the powers that defying
God and -precipitated this cata-
clysm of blood and tears.
There is only one sentiment in this
whole broad land today, and the man
who does not recognize it must in
deed be deaf, dumb and blind; and
that sentiment is logged determin-
alton deep down in the very bowels
of every man that we are going to
fight until we have justified Italy;
saved England; swept immortal
France free of the Hun; Liberated
Belgium; avenged so far as is within
human power the countless crimes of
Germany against civilization; bro
ken the Hindenburg line and swept
the army of the beast as chaff before
the wind; humbled the Empire of
He'll; and-please God-rid the earth
of the Kaiser and all his fell breed!
If any one asks you, tell him that
is what we're going to fight for!
