FYvr the best Baled Alfalfa and Prairie hay, mixed Chicken feed, Corn, 1 Acting under authority of Secretary McAdoo, goneral director of railroads, tho three regional reserve banks in the territory affected and tho manage ment of the Union Pacific railroad, the general chairmen of the brotherhoods of tho Union Pacific have started vigorous cani'palgn for tho sale of Liberty bonds to omployes. Tho heads of these brotherhoods -aro A. L. Kanold, of the B. jof L. E. ; J3. W. Smith, of the B. of L. F. and E. ; J. A. Bergln, of the O. It. C, and Chas. Bogue of tho B. of R. T. These goner, al chairmen aro visiting all terminal divisions on tho U. P. system, ap pointing! comnUltees and arranging for meetings. Messrs. Bergin and Boguo addressed a meeting of the O. R. T; and B. of R. T. yesterday and the committees appointed wore Chas. Yost for the O. R. T. and H. L. Ileckcr and Herman LcDioyt for tho B. of R. T. Last Thursday chairmen Kanold and' Smith were hero and se lected W. L. Richards and M. Hayes as tho committee for the B. of L. E., and' K. M. Sturtevant and D. C. Gid eon a committee representing the B. of L. F. and E. Solicitors for all these ordors "will bo named to assist tho committees. 'In addition to t)iese committees, solicitors have been appointed to in terview shop, round house, track and terminal employes. The soliciting of these employes began tho latter part of last week. The bridge and building department responded with 100 'per cent and others will do equally well Under the contract the employes have ten months in which to pay for the Txwids. ,o: : NORTH PLATTE IS NOW $0:,000 OVER ITS OIVKN QUOTA. In those war times a little camou flaging in permissible and oxcusablo if It assist in a good causo. and the North Platte committor on the Third Liberty loan drlvo and Tho Trlbuno pleads guilty to a harmless caso of 'flaglng. Tho facta are that at nino o'clock Monday night of last weok tho people of North Platte had ovcr-BUb-scribod their quota of $150.00 ono half of tho umount apportioned to Lin coln county; in othor words tho ono Uiird of the population of tho county that live in North Platte had subscrib ed more than one-halt tho county's quota. But this fact was not general ly advertised for tho reason that it might induce some who had not sub scribed, and who should subscribe, to not "ccmo across:'' that they might concludo that so long as tho quota had been subscribed tholr subscriptions would not be necessary Tho cry of "North Platto should go over tho tdp" Avns therefore continued during last week, and this is where a mild case of camouflaging was played. Tho subscriptions to the third loan through tho North Plntto banks aro now $217,000, and the amount is grow ing. Thoro is yet to bo counted the subscriptions of about 700 North Platte employes of tho Union Pacific whoso subscriptions will bo mada through ton-month contracts with the company but will bo credited to tho total Of tho North Platto subscriptions. Thoso subscriptions with those yet to como from other sources will rosult in making tho toal roach nearly if not altogether $300,000, or only six thous and short of tho ontlro quota for tho county This ever subscription on the third loan more than equals the shortage of North Platte on the first and second loan Issues.
