The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1918-10-23
CHURCHILL COUNTY AGAIN
PROVES ITS PATRIOTISM
Nearly 1000 Subscribers Assist To-
ward notwithstanding $40, 900,
Making the Total $4,000

Once again Churchill County has
proven its loyalty to the great cause
In the most convincing manner its
record for the Fourth Liberty Loan
being an oversubscription of nearly
$4,000 making its total subscrip-
ton s1s0,0O0.
1t is a showing according to c. e.
Bingham, director of the campaign
not excelled by any other section in
the country. this statement being
based on the proportion of subscrip-
tions to our bank deposits. The re-
suit is the more gratifying through
The fact that this large sum repre-
sents the subscriptions of practical
ly one thousand people evidence of
the widespread interest in this one
of the most important of any of the
| loan drives thus far due to the ad-
mitted fact that Germany regarded
| Il as an indication of the attitude of
our nation toward the war.
The organization for the campaign
was excellent, the committees work
ing in perfect harmony and with a
devotion that was proven In the
splendid total. With the first an
nouncement that the quota for
Churchill = County was 100000 it
was considered by many an utter
impossibility to raise such a sum but
with the knowledge that 1t must be
done every district committee be-
gan at once thorough canvass that
brought the issue personally home
to practically every resident in the
valley.
The women's committee under the
direction of Mrs. E. b. Loring, chair
man greatly exceeded the expecta-
tions of the director in charge. yet
their accomplishments were only
gained after unceasing labors con-
tinuing through the entire two
weeks.
The posting of the Honor Roll so
eonspicuously was a much commend
ed move and hundreds daily scanned
the lists to note additions and omis-
sions of names.
While to these subscribers there is
sufficient satisfaction in the knowl-
edge that they have acquitted them
selves of duty owed to their
country likewise the slackers, whose
names are known and which will be
preserved In the dishonored list will
during the years to come unques-
tionably suffer the condemnation of
their own consciences for their trea--
son to their country in Its hour of
need.
The director requests our people
to be cautious In their criticism of
those whose names may not be
found in the list of subscribers as
many worthy citizens have approach
ed the different committees express
ing sincere regrets that conditions
prevented them from being number
ed with them.
There has been a demand for a
list of the subscribers to the Fourth
Liberty Loan and the Armenian Re-
lief Committee of which e. N. Rich
ardson is chairman, has decided to
publish these names in pamphlet
form making a nominal charge for
same and devote the proceeds to the
relief of the 100000 starving wom-
en- and children in Turkey, Syria
and Asia Minor.
Director c. E. Bingham has also
been frequently urged to publish
the names of the slackers and this is
a matter yet to be decided
And now with this another test
of its loyalty and possibilities
Churchill County may proudly hold
aloft its banner and calmly and con-
fidently await the next call conscious
that II will not be found wanting
