One Day DriOe
Plan Considered

Preliminary plans for the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign were constd-
cred at district meeting held at
Crookston on Friday. Chairmen of
all counties Of the district, except
Kittson were present. Charles p.
Van Nest. director of organization
and Frank E. Mutter, field agent,
were the representatives from the
office Of the. director Of the Ninth
Federal reserve district.
One plan considered for the CANT
paign is to make it a one day drive,
notify everyone to appear at the
precinct polling places and sign up.
This plan was a success in Steele
county during the Third Loan drive
and it was only necessary for the
committee to call upon IL men in
the entire county. Chairman A. III.
Costain believes the plan would sue
coed in Clay county. AS everyone
will be busy at the time of the drive,
Nov. 1, each person can do his saare
and save the committee several days
work. It is a time when everyone
is volunteering, and Mr.. Costain
thinks the subscribers will all be
willing to join in making the one
