ASK COUNTY
TO INCREASE
SUBSCRIPTION
TO LIBERTY
Patriotic Citizens Of Wayne
Are Asked to Overcome
Deficits in Other Counties
in This District.
SOME FAIL TO BUY

Wayne county, which already has
oversubsoribed its quota In the LIB
erty Loan campaign more than $780,
900. has been called on by the federal
government to further increase Its
oversubscription in order that the
Seventh federal district In which this
part OF Indiana 10 included. may raise
its full quota.
In other words the patriotic citizen
ship Of Wayne county 10 asked to aid
in a general movement to overcome
the deficits In those counties which.
because Of lack Of financial resources.
will be unable to reach the quotas fix
ed.
Saturday the Wayne county Liber-
ty Loan committee received the fol-
lowing telegram from the Federal Re-
serve District headquarters at Chica-
60:
Wayne County Liberty Loan Com
mittee:
1.-THE issue of the hour has
been put sQuarely up to the Sew.
enth Federal district. Of which
Wayne county IL a part. by the
Secretary OF the Treasury. In the
following telegram received this
forenoon:
IL earnestly hope that you will
say to every Liberty Loan CON-
mittee In the Seventh federal re-
serve district that their quota
ought to be over-subscribed at
least fifty percent. With our
sons actually dying on the battle
field OF France We cannot abate
our efforts In the slightest de-
gree to support them to the ut
most limit Of our resources"
viii Increase Sales.
The Wayne county committee has
telegraphed the state Headquarters
and also the Federal reserve bank,
Chicago. that an effort will be made
to increase the bond sales in order
that the county's subscription may be
considerably increased over it's pres
ent standing.
The checking up of subscription
blanks that have passed through the
various committees in the county,
show that there are hundreds of per-
sons financially able to purchase bones
and who should have taken advanta Je
OF the investment features aside fJ i'm
the patriotic incentive, who havs as
yet not made purchases. II
There are hundreds of others hose
subscriptions might be increase from
10 to so per cent without ST aiming
their resources. The call to Wayne
county is an urgent one. he fact
that the quota as fixed by II govern
ment was reached in seven lays with
out the banks being called on to sub
scribe, is very strong eason why
Uncle Sam is calling on lis county to
do more.
Buy at One !.
The county committs E, therefore. is
making very emphatic the request for
every man and woma, lin Wayne coun-
ty who has not subs tribed for Lib
erty Loan bond. and who is financially
able to do so, to % at once to any
bank in Richmond or Wayne county
and sign an appljsa sation for bond in
the sum that thef can care for.
Equally emphI,tic Is the request that
persons who already have subscribed
and who feel that they can add a mite
more to their investments for Liberty,
shall likewise arrange at once for ad-
ditional bonls.
One thousand citizens Of Wayne
county. each purchasing a 800 bond
would give an additional 100000.
There as need for response. The
eovernpient's call should be met by
Wayne county citizens. Next week
should see the oversubscription OF the
county's quota go to the s30O,000 mark
at least.
Will you help?
