This il the opinion Of Z. E Grab.
tree. state chairman for Illinois, who
ran down from his homo in Jackson
vile. where he is a banker, and spent
Tuesday at his desk at Liberty Loan
headquarters In the Railway Exchange
Building.
There Is nothing to it" declared
Mr.. Crabtree, "but just going out and
picking up the money. Many thou.
sands of~dollars r already in the
banks applied already to the purchase
OF the Fourth bonds, and our people
are making all of their plans for quick
subscriptions.
There Is n woman in Jackson
vile, whose name I do not r to
give, who has already placed her order
for $1,000 of the honda. She was ad.
vised to 60 on the market and buy
previous issues Of Liberty Bonds at a
discount, and was shown whereby she
could ave $1,000 by the transaction.
But this patriotic woman said she
wanted to do her bit and she said she
would prefer taking Fourth bonds at
par. Therefore she bought Treasury
Certificates Of Indebtedness, and has
instructed her banker to exchange
these for Fourth Liberty Bonds on
Sept Is, Volunteer Day"
Reports recalling me from other
cities in our part Of the district ~
sure me that all r making ready Tor
the drive, and that our quota viii be
quickly absorbed. And We are q.
pecting the quota to be larger this
time than In the previous loans.
People realize that the sooner the
war ID over the more lives will be
saved. and they are ready to invest
their dollars that lives may not bs
lost because Of penury."
