Rusl1 County Gets Credit For Over
subscriptions
1t was expected by the Rusk County
Liberty Loan Executive Committee
that our quota, based on a six billion
dollar issue, would be 100000. These
figures were expected because in both
the second and third loans of three bill
lion dollars each, Rusk county's quota
was $4,000. In the second loan the
county subscribed $122,050. In the
third loan the county subscribed $147,-
$50.
Importance of the Fighting Loan
The government is asking the Amer
lean people to lend six billion dollars,
subscriptions opening September 2S.
At the first Liberty Loan we had just
entered the war and there were no
Americans in France. There were
millions of Americans in doubt as to
why we should enter the war but the
lean was 0verscribed.
Then came the second Liberty Loan
when there were only sprinkling of
American soldiers overseas mostly
regulars, but again the loan was over
subscribed
When the third Loan was canvassed
last spring, American soldiers were
reaching France in large numbers but
all except the pioneer units were away
back of the lines, undergoing their
training. There were still a few in
doubt as to why we entered the war
but the loan was greatly overscribed
again.
And now comes the Fourth Loan, the
Fighting Loan, the greatest of them all.
The number Of American soldiers over
seas is nearing the two million mark.
Our boys, your boys your neighbors'
boys are in the thckest of it and fight
ing in their own units, made possible
by the success of the previous loans
and the readiness of the boys to get into
the fight, and they are pushing the
Huns back on many French field and
will soon he pushing them back on their
own ground. No real American any
longer wants to know why we are fight
ing and millions more of the Yankees
will soon be going over.
Now is the Time to Fight
The more money the government has
to spend and the quicker it has it, the
more it can do to keep the Yanks safe
and sound by giving them the best of
weapons, the best Of clothing, the best
of food and keeping them piled high
with munitions and food behind the
lines to follow up their advances.
Allotment Plan to be Used
Rusk county will use the individual
allotment plan in the Fourth Loan
Each and every person in Rusk county
capable of buying one or more bonds
will be allotted his or her share and the
plan will extend through all the towns
and villages from one end of the county
to the other through the rural districts
All allotment cards will be returnable
to the county chairman for the records
being kept on each person by the
Ninth Federal Reserve District and

the different districts for collections
