COUNTY'S QUOTA
Each Town Is AppOrtiOned and a
County Organization Is Complete
for Third Liberty Loan.

Orleans county must go over the
top with more than $342,9OO.OO in
subscriptions to the Third Liberty
loan which opens Saturday. This is
approximately $40 per man, woman
and child. The amount for the coun-
ty was cut from over $5OO,OOO to
$4,000 in the past few days because
Of a reduced apportienment given to
Vermont and New England.
The rate Of interest is Az %. All
over subscriptions will be accepted
and the new bonds will be non-con-
vertible. Bonds of the first and sec
ond loans may be converted into the
new issue, however.
The county organization has as it's
head, Mayor c. S. Emery of Newport,

tricts as follows with district chair

Wallace H. Gilpin has been ap-
pointed county publicity chairman for
this loan.
Plates for some of the publicity
work expected to begin today have
not yet been received from the New
England committee but are expected
any day. The response from men Of
the county who have been appealed to
for sharing the expense of the pub
|licity has been very gratifying.
At the meeting of the committees
at Newport Monday Mayor Emery as
chairman for the county presided and
explained that so far as this commit
tee was concerned and so far as his
work was concerned it was a work of
devotion to the country without COM
pensation, but that the bonds must be
sold.
Mr.. Emery introduced Luther Fish
er of Boston who explained methods
of selling bonds and went into as
much detail about the issue as posi-
BILE for him to give at that time.
There is no foundation in the ru-
NOR that there will be no small de-
nomination bonds. AS heretofore
there will be $50 and 500 bonds as
well as the larger one.
Town appointments were made
by Mr.. Luther, but later cancelled as
errors were apparent. Next week,
however, this paper expects to be
able to give the correct amount each
town will be asked to subscribe.
