The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-03-21
next loan DRIVE
To BE MADE With
Big PREPARATION
COUNTY DIVIDED INTO TWELVE
DISTRICTS WITH CHAIRMAN
OVER EACH ONE.
PRELIMINARY PLANS MADE
REPRESENTATIVES, OF TWO DIS
TRICTS GATHERED HERE FOR
THIS PURPOSE.

Stearns county's next Liberty Loan
drive already is an assured success.
This was indicated at a preliminary
meeting held in the Comm .:rcial club
Thursday afternoon when about IS
men from this vicinity gathered for
the purpose of hearing what the plan
of the treasury department was to
accomplish the result aimed, says the
st. Cloud Times.
The next drive will be started on
April 6 and it is expected that with
the organization already formed
throughout Stearns county, it will be
but few days before the quota will
be reached here.
Each Of the 35 men were given
cards for study and they were in
structed to get the value Of properties
Of the various persons residing in
their districts to arrive at an estimate
as to what each one should subscribe
in bonds. This is done so that the
burden of "pinching war economy"
and the support of the government
shall not be placed upon the snoul-
Gers of a few patriotic persons. This
method is being used all over the
country and is conceived by the treas
ury department as the most suitable
Il cans of raising the required amount.
"This will not only be directed to
the so-called neutral or luke-warm
person who always takes The attitude
of Let George-do-it' but to the person
who is given the patriotic talk" it was
explained to the solicitors here. eff
a man is unusually evident in a talk
ing way he should also be evident in
a more material way"
It is stated that in every district
throughout Stearns county-there are
to be IL districts, including that of the
Citysof st. Cloud-there will be meet
ings during this month in the school
houses for the purpose of explaining
the drive to the people. The solicitors
are Instructed to invite the people in
their various communities to come in
and subscribe without being solicited,
but those who do not subscribe will
be seen.
The plan is arranged so that the
organization will be complete by the
time the drive is started and it will
be a simple matter to complete the
work.
