BOTTINEAU.. COUNTY AL
LOTTED s2OO,OOO.OO IN
FOURTH LOAN.
This county has been allotted
$500, 900 Of the approximately
twenty millions assigned to
North Dakota Of the six billion
~ per cent Fourth Liberty
Loan.
Initial payment will be 10 per
cent payable before October 10,
balance as follows: 20 per cent
on November 21st, 20 per cent on
December 10th, 20 per cent on
January 10th, 80 per cent on
January 3Oth.
Crop conditions are adverse
IN this county or we would have
been allotte dseveral times the
above amount. The task Of di-
viding out the county's allotment
has been an exceedingly hard
one on account Of different con-
ditions existing in the various
sub divisions Of the county and
various crop results and other
considerations among individu-
ais living in the same commun-
ity. In general, those commm-
tiles with some crop, will be ex-
pected to subscribe for a larg-
er amount than they were allot-
ted for the Third Loan. These
communities cannot be penalized
however, because they happen to
be within Bottineau county but
will be allotted similar to other
districts in the state with a sim
liar crop. The balance will be
allotted out as lightly as possible
to the vicinities without a crop.
Each. and every township and
town will have a. specified
amount allotted to it, which is
an essential part in the huge
amount the Government must
borrow from the people at this
time. Each individual must do
his share towards helping his
unit do it's part here at home,
while your boy OF, your neigh
boris boy is doing his share SO
that his regiment may do it's
part in the American army,
fighting for the Liberty Of man
kind over there.
The committee in charge Of
these allotments has endeavored
to be as fair as humanity able.
They have tried to arrange the
allotment SO that the amount
will be raised with as little hard
ship as possible. Boards of Ap-
peal will be established where
any who feel that they have been
allotted too much may have
their pleas heard and an adjust
ment made, if their contention
is equitable.
We would ask, however, any
who may believe their allotment
seems a little high, to consider
that fact that under conditions
existing here this fall, the extra
amount that might have been al
lotted to them would otherwise
probably fall on to some other
individual less able to take an
extra allotment.
The Loan starts Saturday,
Sept. 28th and you are urged to
take your share that day, either
through your bank or the LII
berty Loan Committee Of your
township or village. Subscribe
as early as you can that day:
Bottineau county's wonderful
record during the past loans
gives us the confidence that each
one is willing to do his part and
that he will arrange to do his
share on Sept. 28th, voluntarily,
like an American. If each unit
makes a record for itself OF
reaching it's allotment the first
day, it will be a record Of which
we can all be proud and will save
the time Of your local Liberty
Loan committee, who otherwise
would make q personal canvass,
commencing Monday morning,
Sept. 3Oth.
Subscribe for your Fourth Ii
berty Bonds the first day, Sep
tember 18th.
