FIFTH LOAN Is NEAR!
CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE
AND =. HEARTY RESP0NE IS
ASKED OF PEOPLE. @-, '~

The Fifth, or Victory loan is only a
few weeks away. This is the last loan
that we will be called upon to subscribe
to-.
The figures carried in the county pa
pers this week give the sum-up Of what
Morrison county has done during the
war. It shows that our county has
bought total of $1,651 900 in Bonds,
and donated or given $4,000 for War
Relief purposes.
Figuring our population in round
numbers as $4,000, we have bough: q
total of $66 worth Of bonds for every
man, woman and child in the county.
We have given for War Relief trif1e
better than $500 a head; our assessed
valuation for the county is about $12,-
900, 900; our property is assessed for
one third of its actual value; this would
give us real valuation Of about $685.
OO0, 900.
The amount of bonds we have bought
is only about four dollars and fifty
cents out of every one hundred dollars
of our total wealth, and this has been
reinvested in the best securities on
earth-U. s. Government Bonds. We
have given only $500 out Of every g.,
600 of our wealth to War Relief. Who
says we have been asked to give large
sums during the past two yearss
In the Fourth loan there were 4,51s
bond buyers in the county who bought
$658, 900 in bonds or who invested on
an average a little better than $144
each. These figures are for the purpose
Of showing that our rich county is well
able to take the coming loan and over
subscribe it, as we have done on each
of the other loans.
We have the wealth-our county was
never so prosperous as now, never were
our farmers as well-to7do. Our banks
on the whole are stronger today than
ever before, even though they are pay
ing smaller dividends to their stock
holders than they have in many years.
We have done our bit so far in the
four loans, let US get ready for the fifth
and last. -

County Chairman
