black-face comedian. is still working
hard for Uncle Sam.
Capt. Tinney was a morale officer
for Uncle Sam and is still carrying

to hold a commission-at-la and
his command consists of the great
army of America. principally the
makers of munition and automo-
biles.
THE bolsheviki is another word
for Prussianism gone-mad' he says.
When Tinney was discharged he i'm
mediate1y formed a permanent thea

to 100 jobless soldiers ard sailors.
Returning transports were met and
an all star cast of former soldier
;eNors are now with Tinney on

When the show was in Detroit
Capt. Tinney made many stirring
talks TO working people. thousands
of whom are foreigners. His humor
and personality interests them and
his logic and Americanism convinces
them.
AS the Chalmers factory. with an
artillery tractor for a platform, he
talked TO over 5000 war workers.
His entire company of oversee veter-
a cfx- no

According to official figures received
from all the banks in the city and
county at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon
the. city. the township and the county
were still $sa6.s5o short OF the Vic
tory loan quota.
Banks in Richmond reported total
Of $T32, $50 subscriptions actually made
up to o'clock this afternoon, while
those in the county outside OF Wayne
township reported that their official
total was $370,700.
Thus the actual figures OF subscrip-
tions to the loan stood at $1,103,650
for the whole county, almost 100000
below the quota of $1,800,000. Local
banks were requested by Federal Re
serve bank at Chicago, not to invest
on their own account.
The $4,000 subscribed in Rich
mond banks also includes a number OF
subscriptions by people outside Wayne
township who do their banking in
Richmond, so that part OF this total
must 60 to the credit OF the other
townships Of the county.
Lewis G. Reynolds, county chairman
was in Dayton on business Thursday
so no statement could be obtained
from him but e. M. Campfield, assist
ant city chairman, authorized the is
suance of a statement over his sigma
ture that the city's quota Of $1,000, 900
had been exceeded by 100000.
Should Not Stop Buying.
The fact that the loan is still far
short of the quota, unless the banks
disregard the request Of the Federal
Reserve bank of Chicago not to sub
scribe for bonds and under-write what.
ever part of the quota remains untak'
en-, was brought out Thursday as a
warning to subscribers not to quit
buying in the belief that the loan is
over.
The figures received by the banks
all over the county show that the sub
scriptions thus far have been heavy
subscriptions by a very few people
so that the small investor has barely
started to take bonds yet.
Keep on buying! This loan is moi
over yet!
