opening of the fourth liberty loan
campaign is September %, the COM
ing Saturday, the books are already
open in Topeka and the banks are al

loan campaign director, left the city
for two day business trip.

liberty loan, according to Burrow, was
made by Lieut.-Col. John S. Dean of

| military business and stopped off for
short visit and to make his sub
scription to the fourth liberty loan in
the old home town.

ten days of the campaign, as an
nounced by both J. r. Burrow, coun-
| ty director, and Fred w. Freeman, di-
| rector of the First Kansas district

the county and the district to go to
their respective banks now and make
subscription for the fourth liberty loan
