be made from Sept. 2Sth to Oct. 18th
Also. that it could not afford to pay
for advertising in all newspapers, nei-
ther acould 1t afford to choose a few
and leave out the others. Therefore
it was planned to ask the business and
professional people to contribute
enough to pay for certain amount
of the advertising specially prepared
by the government experts, the same
amount TO appear in all weekly papers.
Publicity committees are appointed
In all counties to solicit this fund. Mr..
J. P. Gartin is chairman of that COM

In addition to, this, each newspaper

week they will run a full page free,
and each week there will be, free mat

the plan. Every business man has
been given a chance to do his bit here
and only few have refused Their

Other names are coming in and will
be added to advertisements to appear
during the next three weeks.
This plan was originated by the gov

This is not quite twice as much as our
quota In the third loan. Some coun-
ties have been assessed fully twice as
much.
Shall we answer the call? We must

sister say we can not do It.
The new bonds pay 4 Ia per cent

slight tax on the income from them.
