ALL ARE URGED TO
MAKE BIG PURCHASE
Committees on Job Must Report
on Individual Gases; Advisory
Board Meets with County
Chairman Canvass Returns,

The advisory committee Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign for
Grady county met with the county
chairman at the Council Of Defense
rooms this morning and checked over
the Liberty Loan subscribers to date.
Indications are that the districts out
side of the city with one or two ex-
ceptions, have oversubscribed their
quotas,
The city of Chickasha needs only
a few thousand dollars to complete
a quota of 100000, not including the
subscriptions from the railroad EN-
ployes. 1t is expected that the quota
of the city will be oversubscribed
without counting the subscriptions of
the railroad employees in the city Of
Chickasha. The quotas fixed by the
advisory committee on the districts,
and also on individuals, did not in
clude the quotas for railroad employ
ees. Quotas for railroad employees
are fixed by the railroad departments
and not by the advisory committee in
the county.
Alger Melton of the advisory COM
mlttee issued the following state
ment:
1T appears that quite a number Of
persons who are able to buy bonds
have not as yet subscribed for their
quotas fixed by the advisory commit
tee. These persons are urged to see
the committee at once, and make
their subscriptions. The committee
is required to report to the advisory
committee and the county chairman,
all persons who fail to take their sub
scriptions, and the committee trusts
that it will not be necessary for these
reports to be made.
"The advisory committee did not
have the names Of all persons in the
city, and the members OF the commit
tee were unable to fix quotas for ev.
cry person. Every person in the city
for whom no quota was fixed by the
advisory committee is urged to see
some of the subscription committee
and make a subscription for bonds to
the limit of his ability. The subscrip-
ton committees have information OF
numerous persons for whom no quo
tas were fixed because the advisory
committee did not have the names
and addresses of these parties. The
subscription committee is reqired to
report the names of such persons, and
we trust that everyone will subscribe
for all the bonds he is able to buy,
so that the subscription committee
will have few reports to make.
"All committees are urged to COM
plete the canvas of their districts,
and make a full and complete report
to the chairman as soon as possible.
"Officials in charge Of the Fourth
Liberty Loan fixed very small quo
to on the people Of Grady county be-
cause of drouth conditions. Every
one should appreciate this consider
alton given the county by the Liberty
Loan authorities, and should respond
with subscriptions to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan to the extent OF their abil-
ity, regardless of their quota.
While it appears at this time that
the quota OF the city and county has
been raised, yet we should not stop
at this small quota under any cir
cumstances, but every citizen should
voluntarily increase his quota all that
he can in order that the Fourth Lib
erty Loan may be over-subscribed,
not only in Grady county, but in Ok
lahoma and the entire nation, and to
this end we urge everyone to buy
bonds to the limit
We should lose none Of our patriot
ism, enthusiasm and efficiency in the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, be-
cause of reports Of peace and peace
talks; there will be no peace until
| Germany surrenders Internationally.
