MANY VOLUNTEERS APPEAR AT !
BANKS AND SIGN UP FOR
GOVERNMENT BONDS
BASED ON LATE ASSESSMENT
Taxpayers Are to Lend Money in Pro
portion to Their Worth-County
Must Raise $4,000

Though notices of Liberty loan allot-
ments to taxpayers have not been mail
ed. and will not be sent out until late
this week, many volunteers are appear
ing at the banks in Idaho county, and
subscribing to the loan.
The county's quota of the fourth loan
is $4,000, and the amount has been
apportioned among the taxpayers in a
manner that, it is expected, will equi-
tably distribute the loan among the
public. The allotment to individuals is
fixeG on a basis of 6 percent of assess
ment. for the year 1918, but in many
instances it is necessary, in order that
none escapes, to defect from this plan.
IN case Of men, whose property is chiefly
in the form of mortgages or other
monies, the Liberty loan committee uses
its best Judgment in determining what
each man should subscribe.
Subscriptions to previous loans also
are taken into consideration. 1t is
pointed out that many who were finan-
eially able held back during former
loans, either failing to subscribe, or
subscribing less than their portion.
These men will be called upon to sub
scribe more than the regularly specified
percentage.
By next week the campaign will be
in full blast in Idaho county, and the
county is expected to complete its quota
of $4,000.

LONDON, Oct. 19-Allied forces

allied line now extends from a posi-
ton on the Dutch coast to the east of
Bruges and to the south of Courtrai

The infantry is pushing fast after

British and American troops fight
ing their way into the Hunding line
southeast of La Cateau are advancing
quite rapidly in spite of the desperate
resistance of the enemy. 1t is report
ed that 1900 prisoners and 12O guns
were captured by the allies yesterday.
Since the fighting began there Thurs

There is a probability that the Ger

it would seem that their line is SO
bent by the furious onslaught of the
allies in Flanders that it must be re-
adjusted for a long distance down

have a list Of very fine property for

farm.
He who predicts and waits for
cheap, 1rst-class. level land in Sum
ter county will continue to predict and
wait. The man who waits and dreams
never gets anywhere. We are living
in an age of action When the whole
truth is known of the true value of
these beautiful, level productive
lands, they will increase in value by
leaps and bounds The fertilizer
plants which once flOurished like a
green bay tree will pass away and
be replaced by the velvet bean, the
farmers own production. They have
already moved their smokehouse and
corn crib from the West to their own
farms and now have fine, fat stock and
corn to sell. Under this method OF
farming level, improved lands will not
decrease in value, but increase. No
farmer will deny this. The many
profitable crops that can be grown
here also adds to the value of these
lands One of the main factors in
making these lands. more valuable
than in many other sections is that the
old-time drudgery for both man and
woman is rapidly disappearing. The
inexhausible pure, fresh water supply
that can be had from a depth of from
200 to 400 feet is far more valuable
than yet realized. With small gas con-
nectiOn and a few feet of pipe will
make home as convenient as a city
home. The cultivatOr removes druid
gerry and saves labor If you want
to buy farm lands call on us. If you
have bought Liberty Bonds we can
use them. We will insist on our peo-
pie who sell to buy them.
