That Grady is showing a slump in

This morning, the Rock Island rail.
road company reported subscriptions
to the amount of $4,000 taken
through the company by the en-
pioyes of the local offices and shops.
Minco made further report Of $4,000
to be added to their former report.
Chairman slusher dia not ninco
words in making comment on the
manner in which Chichasba is going
about the raising Of the quota. He
stated flatIy that unless something
is done nd done nve r.slr co,ta
individuals, not mentioned at this
time, will find themselves in rather
embarrassing position
Some Are sackers.
Reports coming to this office show
that there are at least 20 business
men representing some Of the biggest
in the city who are stacking" said
Mr.. Slusher Il am not giving out
their names at this time, but the ev.
idence l have is absolutely unques-
tionable. / don't want to think that
these men are pro-German. one man
intimated to a Liberty bond solicitor
that he was holding off to see wheth-
er or not the quota was going to be
rut over. In the event is was cinch.
ed. he intended to subscribe a couple
OF hundred dollars. In the event it'll
was needed, his idea was to sub
scribe $1,000 or more. This case,
practically covers the attitude of
those l have in mind Now if these
men and the firms adopting such
policies don't come across, l am alb
solutely going to turn their cases
over the Council OF Defense. It is
not right for them to hold back and
let others, probably less able, 70 make
up the quota and furthermore, we
are going to stand for it, If this
quota is not completed by Saturday
night, there will be regular meetings
OF the Council Of Defense every day
and these Stacker cases will be taK-
er up"
What " Mean SIackers?
Burt Fields, precinct chairman OF
Norge, reported this morning sub
scriptions to the amount $500.
When he turned in his cards and
stated that the work was finished in
his precinct, Mr. slusher asked him
for his Stacker cards.
What do you mean, Stacker
cards?" replied Mr.. Fields. 81 tell
you the work in Norge is finished
and there is not a Stacker in the en-
tire precinct"
There was no quota assigned TO
the precincts Of Dutton, Tabler and
Rocky Ford, as there are no banks
there. However. the work has been
finished in these sections and the re-
ports show exceptionally good sub
scriptions -rtc-- ~ A-v
