Show Fourth Loan Campaign Commences Next Saturday Emery county made an enviable record in the Third Liberty Loan campaign, going over the top in a few hours after the campaign opened, and prospects are excellent for an even nobler response to the Fourth Loan campaign which opens a week from today at 9 o'clock a. m., and notwithstanding notwith-standing the fact that the county's quota for the coming loan will be double what it was last time the nation being called upon to subscribe six billion this time where but three billion was asked before. However, the county as a whole will not have to take much more than was actually subscribed before as more than double the allotment for the third loan was subscribed, several of the towns getting get-ting one or more stars on the honor flags they won, the flag having been awarded if a town reached its quota while a star was given for each 100 per cent of subscriptions over the required re-quired allotment. There will be several innovations worked out in the coming drive. No subscription must be signed up before 9 o'clock a.m. of September 28 except in case of contemplated absence frem home on that day, this exception being made for the benefit of prospective fair and conference attendants, and it is urged that committees keep in touch with such prospective absentees and sign them up in advance, dating the application for the 28th. A first payment pay-ment of ten per cent of the amount subscribed will be asked this time at the time of signing the application and all applications and first payments must be in the hands of the local or Green River bank before being reported re-ported to county or state headquarters. At least twenty per cent of the population popu-lation of a community must subscribe for bonds this time or an honor flag will not be awarded and, to help bring this about, it is suggested that where more than a $50-bond is taken by the head of a family, the bonds should be subscribed in the names of the different differ-ent members of the family so as to bring up the per capita ratio. "The meeting held Sunday in the courthouse was attended by both men and women committeemen from Emery, Em-ery, Ferron, Molen. Orangeville, Castle Cast-le Dale, Huntington, Cleveland, and Elmo, and all seemed very optimistic for the success of the coming campaign. cam-paign. A good speaker to be used just previous to the opening day of the drive will be furnished to each community com-munity organization asking for it if possible; and it is expected that big meetings or other affairs will feature the evening before (Friday) so that the people may be ready for the committee commit-tee workers the next morning in order that no time may be lost. The banks are required to furnish lists of all previous subscribers to all committees asking for them and the committee should use these lists in apportioning allotments. The official allotment for Emery county or for the different communities communi-ties will not be available until but a few days previous to the opening of the drive, it is expected, but, on the assumption that the county's quota will be double what It was for the third loan, or $60,000 this time, the following estimates of precinct allot- : ments have been made.
