Notes On The Victory Loan Campaign

The chairman of the Lambertville
Victory Loan Campaign, Rev. Theron
Lee, Pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, has been working out the
plans for the Campaign for some
time and believes from the signs
that are coming to him that few ex-
ceptions all the citizens of the Com
munity are going to cooperate with
each other heartily and successfully.
The Quota assigned Lambertville is
1884, 10000 or Sill, 10000 less than at
the time of the Fourth Loan. Inas-
much as the war is not really over I'M
til we pay the bills, and inasnlnch as
we all wanted victory SO badly and
ought to be willing to pay for it, and
inasmuch as this Loan. is offered by
the Government on very handsome
terms for such a safe investment, it
is expected that the patriotic and
thrifty Community will see that
Lambertville goes over the top.
If any one cannot find it possible to
subscribe this time, let him help in
the way he can by talking up the
Campaign at every possible oppor
tunity and not discourage others.
Already many men have engaged to
take part in the House to House CAN
vass which will begin with sunrise
Monday April twenty first. A meet
ing for the teams will be held in the
Council Room this Saturday evening
at seven thirty o'clock. All citizens
are asked to listen courteously to the
story these men will bring.
The following towns are also CO.
operating with Lambertville and will
work toward the raising of our Quota:
Stockton; Walter F. Beckner, Chair
man; Sergeantsville; Newton v.
Meyers, Chairman; Rosemont; c. W.
Green, Chairman; Mt. Airy; A. W..
Lambert, Chairman; Rocktown; Wnl.
j. Lauderdale, Chairman.
The citizens are requested to hang
out there flags in recognition of the
beginning of the Campaign for Sun
day or Monday if the day be clear.
They are earnestly urged not to refuse
nor to refuse the posters that will be
brought them, but to put them up
conspicuously in their front windows.
All these things will work toward the
success of the Loan
The ballots for the best decorated
store or office window will be given
out in this Campaign by the Canvass
ers instead of by the banks, one being
given to each subscriber. The ballot
box will be placed in prominent
place named on the ballots and will
be opened at the close of the Cam
paign. Colored, posters will be pro-
durable in abundance by stores wish
ing to contest, from Mr.. Chas. B.
Wood, and he also will have certain
small number of novelties to give out
for the same purpose.
All Railroad men are asked to be
sure that their subscriptions are re-
ported to Railroad headquarters as
coming from Lambertville or Lam
bertville will not receive any cred
it. The men can do great deal by
being very insistent about this.
Miss Kate Buchanan and corps of
competent young ladies have consent
ed to take care of the Campaign
records. The amounts raised in each
District will be. posted each day in the
banks and in each post-office of the
territory.
Miss Mary G. Brown is Chairman
of the Woman's Liberty Loan Com
mittee and is making her plans for
the important cooperation of the
women,
