Dickey County Organized for
Fourth Liberty Loan Drive

Dlcked County is again organized
to the last detail for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan Drive, which will begin
Saturday, September 28th, and close
Saturday. October 10. 1918. This
organization consists of more than 100
loyal men and women who have
proved their sterling qualities in like
campaigns since the beginning of the
war. Not nook or corner of the
county will be overlooked in this ef-
fort to raise the largest sum of money
by popular subscription at one time in
its history.
Saturday, September 2Sth. will be
volunteer day. Every loyal citizen will
make it his business to find out where
he may subscribe and will place his
subscription on this day. Every town
ship, village and city will be charged
with a quota. Each individual should
find out in advance what his quota
will be and make plans to do at least
that much and if possible more. All
necessary supplies will be in the
hands of the townhsip. village and
city chairmen before the opening day
and there will be no occasion for any
delay in starting off this great often
sive with mighty dash.
Quota not Apportioned
The quota of this loan will be
charged to Dickey County has been
announced as $35O.OOO. If Congress
asks for a s6,O0O,OOG,OOO loan, and if
it should be reduced to s5,000,0O0, GOO
then the apportionment will be one
sixth less. The apportionment will be
made by adding up the net worth of
each individual in the county as near
ly as possible. Then what ever per
cent $35O,OO0 is to the net worth, will
be the amount that each one will be
asked to subscribe except there will
be a minimum and the apportion.
ments by townships and cities will be
published as soon as they are COM
pleted. Letters will be mailed out
from Glendale to each subscriber,
asking them to appear at his usual
voting place or other place noted in
the letter and take his allotment dur
ing the day of Saturday, Sept. 28th,
which allotment will be in the hands
of the chairman who will have a suf-
ficient supply of subscription cards.
Everyone is expected to appear and
take his allotment during the day Of
September 2Sth. This plan which is
being followed has been worked out
at Minneapolis. If there are any
slackers in Dickey County, who do
not appear on that day, then it will
be necessary for the chairman to look
them up and take whatever action
that may be required.
Initial payments will be 10 per cent
payable with the subscription or be-
fore October 10Th and subsequent pay
ments will be as follows:
20 per cent on November 21st.
20 per cent on December 18th.
20 per cent on January 10th.
30 per cent on January Both.
Payment in full will be permitted
either with the application or by
OCLOUcr lSLu.
Under the orders sent out from
Minneapolis if you do not take your
quota as apportioned to you the chair
man will have no authority to take
any subscription from you. The board
of county commissioners have been
appointed as an appeal board and will
be in session from September goth to
October 3rd at Glendale and if any
person believes that their quota is
too high he may take this matter up
with them and if it can be shown that
an error has been made his quota may
be raised or lowered as required.
Every man and woman who can
read knows now what Liberty Bond
is and what it stands for. No need
now to dwell on it's necessity or it's
use. All that should be necessary
