MOKLER (Chairman Publicity Committee) A meeting of the Sales Committee of the Liberty Loan. campaign, to- gether with a number of the members of the executive committee, was held at the court house last night, and committees were appointed to devise Ways and means to best raise our quota in the shortest possible time, and at the same time to make the amounts as nearly equal to the means that-each person can afford. In this community, as is the case in nearly every community, there are some peo- ple who purchase $500 bonds who could well afford to purchase $5,000, while there are some who purchase @ $1,00) bond “whose means would justify the purchase of a $100 bond.} It was also decided to accept such voluntary subseriptions as may be of- fered during the remainder of this week, but there will be no active so- licitations or subscriptions until next Monday, October 7, when work will be commenced: in real earnest, and continue untilour quota, amounting to’ $763,250, is raised. ‘j Buchtel is Coming Chancellor Henry ‘A.
