in handling English money. We can't
get American cigarettes but [ under
stand they can be had in plenty when
we get over in France. | am sure
will never learn to love this country.
One more ocean trip is all want and

CARDS the scenery around here, it is
rather pretty = lots of holly bushes,
each place has some kind of hedge, ard
nice looking homes and lots of flowers.

Fourth Liberty Loan Fully Subscribed

=
Edgerton has come to the front again
on the Fourth Liberty Loan, meeting
our full requirement in quota and doing
some better. On Saturday noon the
blowing of whistles and ringing bells
told the community that the loan had
gone over the top. The quota for our
banking district was $3.50, 900 and the
amount subscribed reaches close to
1928, 600 and putting US in the front
rank with other towns in the county.
The returns from other districts also
show that Rock county has done her
full duty. The bonds were sold on
the ''Your Share Is Fair" plan and ev-
eryone was able to determine the
amount they were expected to pur-
chase. However, great many bought
bonds far in excess of what their share
amounted to, which gives this district
an excellent showing
Score one for Your Share is Fair"
plan. Rock county is second on the
list of counties to go over the top on
the Fourth Liberty Loan, subscribing
1858 per cent of its quota. It is ex-
ceeded only by Kenosha which adopts
the same plan.
