GET READY FOR
Third LIBERTY
LOAN DRIVE
4 N. DYER APPOINTED CHAIR
MAN TO CONDUCT CAMPAIGN
IN IDAHO COUNTY.
DATE IS SET AT APRIL 5
Next Issue of Government Bonds Likely
to Bear interest at Rate of AZ
Percent Per Annum.

With the appointment of Archie n
Over. vice-president of the First
National bank, as chairman for the third
Liberty loan drive in Idaho county,
nlans are being made for the campaign
which opens on April 6, the first ami
yersary of the United States entry in
to the war. The value of bonds which
Idaho county will be expected to pur-
chase has not been indicated.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, in
announcing in Washington the date
when the campaign will start, said the
amount of the loan, the interest rate
and other features such as convertibility
of bonds and previous issues, maturity
and terms of payment, are to be de-
termined and that new Legislation will
be necessary before plans caneSss con-
pleted.
More Than Three Billions.
The fact that the amount of the loan
is dependent on further legislation indi-
Gates that it will be for more than $3,
100000, 900, the remainder of authoriz-
ed but unissued bonds, and the fact
that certificates of indebtedness now
being sold in anticipation of the loan
bear Az per cent, affords some indica-
ton of the interest rate.
How large the loan shall be depends
largely, however, on the fate of the
pending war finance bill carrying an
appropriation of half billion dollars,
and action on the railroad bill, with its
appropriation of a similar amount.
Although Mr.. McAdoo made no spe
cific announcement, it is taken for
granted that there will be but one loan
before June 30, the end of the fiscal
year.
Time to Prepare to Buy.
The statement concerning the date of
the campaign was made. Secretary Nc
Adoo explained, to give all communities
time to prepare for the big bond sale |
and he strongly advocated popular dem
onstrations of patriotism on the day of
the opening of the loan and the second |
year of war.
capri will forever be a consS
Grated day in American history, and it
seems peculiarly appropriate that the |
opening of the second year of our par
ticipation in this war for the honor and
ASHOo VI Autitd anu tuc AAVOuOh Va
the word should be celebrated with a
nationwide drive for another Liberty
loan," said Secretary McAdoo.
To prepare long in advance for the
campaign, parties of three or more
speakers each will start tours early
this month, visiting several towns a day
md assisting local committees to organ
re publicity and other campaign work
Tor the big drive which probably viii
'e in April
One speaker in each party, the LIB
'rty loan publicity bureau announced
oday, will be U. s. soldier who has
zen service in France and one will be
