LIBERTY LOAN SECTION t I PAGES ONE TO FOUR THE RED CLOUD CHIEF fv VOLUME 47 RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 191S NUMBER 15 Ul :l s i A Statement by the , Webster Co. Chairman In the Third Liberty Loan campaign which opened Saturday, the quota for this county has been set at $234,500 by fhe state committee. This amount lias been divided among the seven towns and vicinities as shown below: The banks of the county have taken up the work of disposing of this issue of bonds, and Liberty Bonds in any amount may be procured through any bank in the county. It is urged that Webster county people make their subscriptions for Liberty Donds as soon as possible. Many of the coun ties of Nebraska have already secured a large per cent of their quotas. We cannot afford to allow Webster county to be left behind by other counties no less able and prosperous than wo are. Unfortunately, this county ha: not been successful in reaching the quota in either of the other Liberty Loan drives. It is hoped and believed that this time the quota will be over-subscribed to an extent sufficient to inuke up for what we have lacked in the previous efforts. The quotas for the different towns and vicinities are as follows: RED CLOUD $71,100 BLUE HILL 50,000 GUIDE ROCK 34,800 BLADEN 36,900 BOWLES 13,700 INAVALE 10,800 ROSEMONT 8,200 J. W.

Every dollar Invested in Government securities works to shorten tho war, to save the lives of American soldiers and sailors. Buy Liberty Bonds. The Money Comes Back The cycle of money invested in Lib erty Bonds is short and complete. The people lend the money to tho Govern ment, the Government lends some to our Allies, and our Government and our Allies straightway spend the money, or tho greater portion of it, among the people of the United States. In some instances the money paid in by wage earners on one installment of Liberty Bonds is paid by tho Govern ment to their employers, and by their employers paid back to them in the way of wages before the next Bond installment is due. Buy Liberty Bonds. Stand By Our Fighting Men From hundreds of thousands of American farms, in answer to the call of their country and in obedience to the law of their country, American boys have gone and today are fighting side by side with hundreds of thou sands of American boys fromthecities and towns of the country, confronting danger and death. The duty of us who remain at home in safety to afford the means to make these boys powerful and .victorious is a most imperative one.

The ordinary actual disbursements for the corresponding period of tho fiscal year of 1917 were $683,969,000.
