MUST SPEED UP LIBERTY LOAN
 ACTIVITIES
REPORTS OF CANVASSING COMMITTEE SHOW THAT MUCH WORK MUST BE DONE IF CITY MEETS ITS ALLOTMENT.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The report of the Liberty Loan committee, checked up yesterday at the office of the Chamber of Com me-cc. shows the absolute necessity of every citizen in Prescott taking the bit in their teeth and getting busy in the matter of purchasing Liberty Bonds.
 Wonderful work has been done by the worthy women of this community in the solicitation of the purchasing of bonds, but cooperation must be given by every citizen in Prescott in order that the city's allotment be sub scribcd. There is no question but that many persons have delayed the purchasing of bonds, but this class should immediately obtain their se- curities so that the committee may have a correct checking.
 Up to Friday evening, there had been purchased through local banks SlO7.150 worth of the bonds, repre- scnting GAS subscribers. The latter is gratifying and encouraging, show ing that more individuals and par ticularly those who can purchase the smaller denominations of bonds, arc doing better by the Fourth Loan than has been the case in previous loans. Of the amount subscribed through the banks, S66,50O of this is money raised by the women's com- mittee and Mrs Hinderer, chairman of the committee. stated that 1t was the intention of the workers making up her committee to strain every ef- fort, in their canvassing in order that complete check will be had soon upon the residence districts.
 F. s. Viele, county chairman of the Liberty Loan, was suddenly called to New York. but his work will be taken up by E. s. Clark and Grace NJ. Sparkes. A check on the county will be had within the next few days. Mir. Clark has already arranged for the placing upon the bulletin board in the plaza the names of all of those who have not subscribed for bonds as well as the names of those who have. A valid excuse will be considered the same as subscription. but the time has gone when those who can sub scribe for bonds and will not, will be treated lightly. A complete list or such persons will be published dur ing the second week Of the loan.
 At the Elks theater Joseph H. Nor gan, in charge of the Four Minute Men. has arranged for these speak CTS 10 tell exactly the amount Of money subscribed in Prescott, at the time the address is given. The truth w:ll be placed before the citizens ot this community with respect to this drive. A list of all of the 100 per cent business houses, and that means stores and offices, will be published next week in the columns of the Jour nal-AIiner. The money put into lib crtv bonds is not a gift to the gov crn,nent. but a loan with interest. It is guaranteed by the promise to nav" Of the worlds richest nation, the United States of America, with all it's magnificent resources, standing behind every dollar. The bows vho arc closing up the broken lines c1 the western front, the mothers and fathers who bow the head over the vacant chair, must not give in end less sacrifice. Action speaks louder than words and every voice raised for Liberty rings more true when II rings with the jingle of silver laid down for the cause.
