nan of the Liberty Loan drive, S. d.

f the evening. and made a forcible
talk on the needs of the government.
The absolute necessity Of putting over
this drive and the fact that Colorado's

me ino.e prosperous communities Of
the state as the metal mining district
was now facing the most distressing
times known since the panic days Of

agricultural districts were enjoying
unusual prosperity and they should
carry the Colorado quota over The top
easily. Alva Swain, head of the pub

women's state committee, made very
