STATE READY FOR
THIRD LIBERTY
LOAN CAMPAIGN
T. C. Byrne Announces Drive
Will Start Soon; Interest
Rate Probably Will Be
4 1-2 Per Cent.
Organization throughout the state
for the sale of the third Liberty loan
bonds is practically completed.
"It is apparent now that the cam
paign will start soon," announces T.
C. Byrne, state chairman. "There is
no exact information yet as to the
date, or what the size of the offering
will be, but we feel sure the amount
to be sold is between $6,000,000000
and $9,000,000,000. Recent offerings
of treasury certificates would indicate
that the rate will be Al2 per cent."
"Nebraska is ready to do its part
again," said O. T. Eastman, manager
of the Omaha branch of the Federal
Reserve bank. "No matter how big
Nebraska's quota is, the experience
of the state committee indicates that
it will be taken. The very real se
rious problem, in the interest of the
commerce of the country, is to have
the subscription well distributed
among the people."
, E. F. Folda, secretary of the state
committee, said: "It is absolutely es
sential that the bonds be generally
distributed. The banks have proven
that they are behind the government
to the limit, but banking assets must
be held liquid so that the banker in
every community can take care of the
business of his depositors and bor
rowers, because it will be necessary
to create a credit that you can loan to
your government. There is not
enough cash on hand or available
funds to absorb the entire loan."
Volunteers Are Working
With Membership Committee
A platoon of volunteer hustlers of
the Chamber of Commerce marched
out of the headquarters Friday morn
ing to assist the membership commit
tee in hustling memberships to a to
tal of 2,500 They will continue the
work Saturday, and probably finish
Saturday night.
The co-operation of all club mem
bers will be sought today and tomor
row in getting new members. Letters
have been sent to every member with
an application blank enclosed, and
every member is expected tc make a
special effort to bring in some friend
as a new member.
February Enlistments
Not Up to Standard
Army enlistments in the Omaha
district were the smallest during
February of any month since the en
trance of the United States into the
war.
February enlistments totaled 545
men. The January enlistments were
785. An active campaign will be
made for recruits this month. A new
branch station has been opened in
Creston, la., for the summer. cam
paign. Recruiting officers will be sent out
from the Omaha office to the smaller
towns where recruiting stations are
. not maintained, in an effort to obtain
more enlistments. An endeavor will
be made to enlist 800 men from the
Omaha district this month.

den," tendered a farewell reception

New Spring Suits
$25.00 and $29.50
Suits that show spring in every line. This means
their styles, individuality and distinctiveness, are such as
will appeal to the woman who gives a thought for the
new.
The style trend is a de
cided change from seasons
past conservation of wool
materials has not brought
about a lessening of smart
lines and styles of the new
suits.
The skirts are narrow, the
coat sleeves are tight and
the shoulders close fitting.
Where extra materials have
been used, if any, is in the
ripple flare of the coats.
Some of the new suits
show the Eton effects ;
others the pony jackets, and
still others the smart severe
ly, tailored effects.
The materials are poplins,
serges, tricotines, p o i r e t
twills and mixtures.
Black, navy and the
spring shades.
Prices, $25.00 to $29.50.
