BOND DRIVE WILL
START IN APRIL
G. B. Faraday Will be Di-
rector Of Gilmore County's s
Activities in Raising
Money for Third Liberty
Loan.

Idaho is losing no time in organiz-
ing for the Third Liberty Loan drive.
State headquarters have been opened
In the Overland building in Boise.
ID. w Davis, appointed state chair
man has taken. active charge and is
receiving the counsel and advice of
an advisory committee, while an or
Iganization is being perfected to
handle the most vigorous drive the
state has yet attempted Nothing
will be left undone to send Idaho
up over the top with whatever
quota it is decided this state should
raise. The cooperation of every citi-
zen, it is announced at headquarters,
will be needed to make the big drive
a success,
The local drive committee is thor
oughly organized under the direction
of G. b. Faraday, and is busy col
lecting and tabulating the data that
they will require to make sure that
everyone has been asked to do his
full duty. The quota for the state
nor county has not yet been deter
mined but it is probable that about
$4,000 will be the amount to be
raised in Elmore county.
April 6, the anniversary of the
entry of this country into the war,
has been set for the opening of the
campaign, The amount, terms, and
conditions of the loan have not yet
been decided because these features
are dependent upon further legisla-
tion.
Regarding the opening of the drive
Secretary McAdoo has wired state
headquarters the following state
ment:
April will forever be conse-
Grated day in American history and
it seems peculiarly appropriate that
the opening the the second year of
our participation in this war for the
honor and rights of America and the
freedom of the world should be cele-
brated with a Nationwide drive for
another Liberty loan
THE campaign should begin with
great demonstrations of patriotism in
every city. town and hamlt in the
country that will truly express the
spirit of aroused America. On this
date every American should pledge
anew to his Government the full
measure of his resources and resolve
to make every required sacrifice in
the same fervent spirit that impells
our gallant sons in the trenches of
France and on the waters of the At
lantic to shed their blood in Ameri-
cas- sacred cause.
TO carry forward Americas essen
tial part in this war for righteousness
and justice, every man and woman
in the country must lend their avail
able means to the government and |
know of no more fitting time for
such a patriotic response to the call
of duty than the beginning of the
second year Of the war.
The campaign in all probability
will last three or four weeks and |
announcement of the opening date is
made at this time in accordance with |
my promise to make all matters con-
nected with the loan as soon as de-
termined and in order that ample |
time may be given every community I
to prepare for the event
II earnestly hope that parades and
patriotic meetings will be held in all /
parts of the county. The Treasury |
Department will endeavor to make
the Observance of the anniversary of
the declaration of war as memorable
as was the patriotic observance dur
Ing the second Liberty-loan campaign
Of Liberty Day on the oath of Oc-
Lober, 1917"
