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

Shorten the War
The sooner the irresistible might of
this great Republic is organized and
put into full action tho sooner the
war will end. 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.

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 Work of the Treasury
Tho ordinary actual disbursements
of tho United States Treasury, which
include all war expenses from tho 1st
of July, 1917, to March 16, 1918, when
tho Treasury statement was issued,
amount to $4,233,261,000.
The ordinary actual disbursements
for the corresponding period of tho
fiscal year of 1917 were $683,969,000.
These figures show that tho War has
added practically three and a half
bilion to tho expenses of the Govern
ment for tho time between tho two
dates named, eight and a half months.
This means an expenditure for war
purposes, for America's part in the
viai,6t about $400,000,000 a month'
or over $18,000,000 a day.
Tho above figures, however, do not
includo tho $3,621,830,000 loaned to
our Allies in tho period dealt with.
