QUOTA s3s,60O

Gilrin county's quota of the three
billion dollar Liberty loan to be float
ed by the government commencing
Saturday, April 9Th, is $4,000. Col
orado's share is S2O,312, 800 and the
largest quota of any county in the
state is that of Denver-SS, $50 100.
Gilpin county, like every other
county in the country, is organized
with workers and solicitors for the
big drive and strenuous effort will
be made by the committee to raise
the quota. While it may seem a
stupendous task in community the
size of this, the committee has ar
ranged with the First National bank
to handle the purchase of bonds
where necessary on the installment
plan. This plan is a payment down
of 10 per cent of whatever denomina-
tion the bond subscribed for may be,
the balance to be paid in deferred in
stallments. The bank advances the
full amount of the bond to the gov
ernment and holds it until finally
paid for by the subscriber. The rate
of interest charged for this accommo-
datfon is the same that the bonds
bear-4A per cent. Through this ar
rangement every family can take at
least $50 bond and single men
with steady work and no one depend
ent upon them can subscribe for at
least a 500 bond. 1t will mean
saving of from IS to $40 a month
upon the part of the family or indiv-
idual and surely this can be done to
aid the government in financing this
great and righteous war.
A thorough canvass Of the families
and single men in the county will be
made between the 9th of April and
the time the drive closes, three
weeks hence. The solicitors will
carry two cards-one a white and
the other red. The white one will he
used to record your subscription, and
If you do not subscribe that fact will
be noted and the reason why you
have not subscribed. The card will
also show II you are subscriber to
the Red Cross and to other war ac-
tivities. The white cards will be
sent to the Treasury Department at
Washington. These cards will be fill
ed as record to show II the one
solicited is loyal to the government
or is Stacker" If loyal he will
be posted in the files of American
Citizens"
The red cards goodness don't
have one of these sent in against
you-will be used where person sol
icited is discourteous to the commit
tee or gives vent to disloyal utteran-
ces against the government. They
will be sent to the Secret Service.
The system of campaigning for this
drive is most complete in every de-
tail and every adult will be solicited
and is expected to either subscribe
for at least one bond or give salts
factory reason for not doing so.
Remember, it is all for your gov
ernment and for your future safety
and well being. Do your share to
protect your government and your
self. Make any sacrifice you are
called upon to make in the name of
liberty and humanity-and 1t is all
so easy and can all be accomplished
by just being an AMERICAN.

Delivery PLAN
Up At MEETING
GrOcerS OF Rock Island viii Gather
Monday Night TO Decide on
New Method.

The proposition of deliveries to
be made by the retail grocers of
Rock Island will again be taken up
at a meeting next Monday light at
the Rock Island club.
The question of the best method
to use in making deliveries has
Deen threshed out by the grocers
Tor several months past, and. it is
now desired to agree on some plan
that will meet with the approval of
all and at the same time be one
that viii suit the present situation
The retail grocers wish to com
ply with the request of the govern
ment that all men possible be re-
leased for military service.
A member of the grocers' asso-
citation stated today that a list has
been compiled of grocerymen who
are in favor of installing a system
that will curtail the deliveries, and
IN this way release men for the
military service or for work in mu-
milton factories 1t is also said that
1t is probable that the new delivery
plan will include the payment for
the deliveries by the customer. A
certain charge will be asked under
this plan for each delivery made.
