VIM. Duncan, Jr.
To Handle BIC Loan
MILROY BANKER SERVES AS
COUNTY CHAIRMAN IN VIC
TORY BOND SALE.
WORK STARTS SOON.
REDWOOD COUNTY WILL HELP
20 FINISH THE JOB AND TO
GET BOYS HOME

VIM. Duncan Jr., cashier of the
State Bank of Milroy, has been ap-
pointed Redwood County Chairman of
the big Victory Bond Sale, the fifth
and undoubtedly the final of the SER
les Of bond sales with which the Unit
ed State has done her share toward
winning the war. Mr.. Duncan takes the
place of ]. P. Cooper of Redwood Falls
who was forced to resign Craftsmanship
because of the colume of work which
he faces for the next few months.
Work upon the next bond sale will
begin in earnest within very short
time and Mr.. Duncan has some spe-
cial feature which he expects to use
to make the work of getting Redwood
County's bond subscription take only
comparatively short time. The war
is not vet finished; the boys must be
taken care of whether they are IN the
Army of Occupation in Germany or
in the camps of the United States, and
every loyal American will see the nee
essity for these last bonds and feel the
urge of buying as heavily as possible.
With this fact in the public conscious
ness getting the County subscription
should be a matter of short work.
Mr.. Duncan will make an admirable
leader FOR the cause. Milroy has
achieved more per square inch and per
capita that any other section OF the
county lie war work of the past
wear. ar all of this work Mr.. Dun
cans ba has taken leading part.
Men VIII have been acquainted with
his WORK know him to be natural lea
der and his enthusiasm for the cause IS
very great. Redwood County is to be
CONGRATULATED upon the appointment
of Mr.. Duncan for this very import
ant Craftsmanship.
Mr.. Cooper, who so well managed
the campaigns for the third and fourth
sales, deeply regretted the necessity OF
his resignation. Mr.. Gold, Mr.. Coo
per's business partner, is now IN the
south where he will recuperate from
overwork by a vacation OF several
weeks. This will naturally put many
added duties upon Mr.. Cooper, who as
-nresident of the Redwood Falls
State Bank, and in active charge OF It's
management, already has heavy work.
In addition to this, this bank will erect
during the coming summer, a large
banking house and much of the super
vision of this work will also devolve
lluor Mr.. G&rcrer This work or plan
Ming and BUILDING mas already started
and the multiplicity of his duties made
it seem impracticable for Mr.. Cooper
to assume the responsibility OF the
chaimanship. and at his suggestion
Mr.. Duncan was asked to take the APP
pointment.

90 RAPIDLY andw it'll little urging
There has been material increase IN
the resources of the Ninth District,
of which Redwood County is a part,
since the declaration of war in 1917
This increase amounts to practically
$500. 100000. In one of the Redwood
County banks deposits went over
million dollars a short time ago and
every bank in the county reports the
same splendid condition among It's de-
positors. Since 1914 the savings OF
Ninth District residents have increas-
ed from S72.88 to $136.88 per capita
in 1918 and are still increasing Peo-
pie have grown to realize that Llber-
tv Bonds "cant be beat" as an invest
ment and both the small saver and the
big investor will do their share IN the
coming loan. Once shown the neces-
sity of buying and buying heavily IN
order to put our soldier boys back
where they belong, and all IN good
physical condition, there is little doubt
but that people will buy and buy un-
questioningly.
