LIBERTY LOAN
PARADE TO BE
A SENSATION
Citizens Entering Floats are
Asked to Notify M. M.
Merrill.

Success for the Fourth, Liberty
loan Is inevitable when with the CO.
operation Of a majority Of the citi-
zens of Grand Forks the committees
in charge OF the Fourth Liberty drive
are making rapid progress towards
the gaining of assistance Of practical
ly every business man in the city.
The Fourth Liberty Loan drive will
open formally on September 20 in
Grand Forks with one of the most
spectacular and impressive parades
ever held In the city. Under the
management of the Grand Forks Ad
club an unusual amount Of display
advertising will be arranged and a
special committee will solicit ads.
M. M. Merrill has complete charge
Of arrangements for the parade and
all those wishing to put in floats
must notify him as soon as possible.
Neglect in making preparations for
the entering Of the floats usually re-
suits in a rush at the end and the
impossibility bf properly arranging
the floats.
The committee in charge Is anxious
that a universal interest be shown in
this parade. The Fourth Liberty
loan will mean much toward the prep
aration Of men for overseas duty and
will no doubt result in bringing the
war to a victorious end for the Uni

People have not yet been brought
to the realization that only with the
support Of every individual will the
next drive be successful.
Everyone is expected to have some
representation in the parade. Floats
and delegations must not advertise

Julian II o'Brien, one of the
speakers with the War Relics train,
which passed through the city We'd
nesday afternoon, made the interest
ing statement that the idea Of do
ing our BIZ" has been changed to "do-
ing our all" It is hoped that the
people Of Grand Forks adopt the
slogan, Were going to do our ALL"
Meeting Last Night.
At a meeting Of the Grand Forks
Ad club held last evening plans were
campaign. Plans for advertising and
a general publicity program were for
mulated.
]. A. Poppler. who had charge of
the advertising for the third loan, will
again be at the head Of the arrange
ments committee. President D.. v.
Moore called the meeting to order and
Mr.. Poppler then took charge and
presented his plans.
The patriotism Of each community
IN h county will be put to the test
in the coming campaign. In a tele-
gram received by E. j. Lander, the
Grand Forks county director, from A.
r: Rogers. director of the Ninth dis
trict, the announcement was made
that Grand Forks might have the
privilege Of naming a battleshop or a
tank.
The Liberty Loan committee at
Washington has granted to the coun-
ties of the Ninth district the privilege
Of naming four warships and ten
tanks and it has been decided that
the four ships shall be named after
the four counties having the four
largest percentages of distribution of
the fourth Liberty Loan and that the
ten tanks shall be named after the
ten counties having the next largest
record. This is a chance for Grand
Forks county to name battleship or
a war tank by going over the top in
the loan drive.
