Have Quit Begging
The following from the New Rock
ford Transcript explains the buying
OF tho bonds as follows:
Residents of the Ninth district
are not going to be begged, coaxed
and cajoled into buying Liberty Bonds
of the third issue.
They are going to be told the amount
they are expected to buy, and then
permitted to explain why If they re-
fuse.
Under the plans being worked out
for the sale of the third issue, each
district will be given its allotment Of
the bonds. The district will then
make the state allotments; the state
will make the county allotments; the
lotments; and the townships will
make the individual allotments. These
will be based on knowledge of the in
dividuals resources. Each individual
will then be approached, and told
what is expected of him. II he re-
fuses, another salesman may call on
him. Then in case of failure to buy,
the county or township chairman is
likely to make a call.
Cases where an unfair allotment has
been made, will, of course, arise, and
they will have to be settled on their
merits. But on the coming drive, 1t
| is estimated that rs per cent of the
population must be sold. That will
mean an increase OF about II per
cent over the last drive. 1t does not
mean that the statesmen should have
less patience I'M handling actively dis
loyal or passively unloyal citizens; it
does not mean they should immed-
lately WELD club; it does not mean
they should overlook any opportunity
to make good citizens as we'll as sell
bonds.
But the days when Uncle Sam
should have to beg for loans has pass
ed. This war is grim business. The
time for some real sacrifices has come,
and they can't be lodged by the sell
fish and the Indifferent. Every man
who lodges his duty, makes the duty
Of the actively loyal man SO much the
heavier. The bonds are going to-, be
sold. They must be sold.'' *.
