go at La Sale Hotel and is now busy
getting the Mahaska County Commit
tee in shape for the drive which will
open April 9Th America entered the
worlds conflict on this day one year
ago.
The headquarters for the Third Lib
erty Loan Campaign at the rooms OF
the Oskaloosa Commercial Club from
which headquarters the campaign will
be conducted.
Mr.. Lofand has to date appointed
the following, who will act as Publ
city Committee: Chas. Walling, chm,
H. s. Rosecrans and Geo. w. Shock
ley.
1t will be the duty of this committee
to carry on the publicity campaign
as directed by the County Chairman
and the State Chairman of Publicity
Hon. Lafe Young, Jr. who will devote
his entire time to the best interest OF
the Government for the third Liberty
Loan. This committee will begin work
at once as an opportunity will be Civ
en- to all to purchase bonds, that is
the Government expects everyone
who can do so to purchase their share
-,
there will be used a series of cards on
which reports will be amde direct to
the Federal Director of Sales for Iowa,
and a card index system that is COM
piled now showing the subscriptions
of the citizens will be used for the in
formation o fthe committees.
Everyone To Be Listed.
Another series of cars that will be
used will be the pink, white and blue.
The blue card will be the one used to
notify the director of sales of the per
son or persons that refuse to buy
bonds in this drive, the, pink cards
will be used for those who do not dc
their full duty in buying what they are
able to buy, and the report of every
one in the county that should buy
bonds must be made on the white card
at once and mailed to the Federal Di'
rector of Sales. The reason given is
that the Directors in charge of the
United States Third Liberty Loan in
Iowa announce Mat the time for
Pussy Footing is gone by and this is
real war time and every individual is
expected to do their full duty.
County chairmen are directed and
ordered to Immediately obtain the in
formation required on the property
valuation card (white card) and this
must be completed by Saturday,
March both, and this must be the as
sessed value but must be the actual
values.
County chairman and Vice chairman
must keep in close touch with each
township and see that the work pro
crosses daily to insure the selling OF
the full quota and anyone called TO do
the work by the County Chairman
who fails to respond, the chairman is
compelled to report to the Director OF
Sales forthwith, as the chairman ia
instructed that neither politics or per.
sonal Friendship should control at this
time as this is War Business.
Thorough Organization Necessary
County chairmen must make daily
reports to the Director in duplicate OF
the amounts sold and is further in
structed that the county's full quota
must be sold rain or shine, good roads
or bad, and every man called to work
must respond in the same spirit that
did our boys in the trenches in
France.
Business or social engagements, or
personal convenience must not be per-
mitted to interfere. as those are ex-
cuses of slackers.
Our boys "over there are going
through hell fire. Let's not forget.
A complete list of those drafted by
the County Chairman and the date OF
the meeting viii be announced in a
few days and those SO drafted viii b.
