Committees havo been organized organ-ized and aro scouring every countryside country-side In automobiles In an endeavor to see that not a single homo Is ever-looked. ever-looked. Upon the results of this campaign In tho rural districts largely depends tho success of tho second Liberty loan in Utah. Large corporations and wealthy individuals In tho bigger big-ger cities of tho stato havo already responded generously and considerable consider-able more Is expected from these I same sources. But tho big source nf subscriptions which baa yet been scarcely touched la that of tho private pri-vate individual, tho wago earners, small buslnoss men and farmers of tho state. Unless they respond loyally loy-ally tho subscriptions of larger corporations cor-porations nnd of tho wealthy Individuals Indi-viduals of tho stato will not save .Utah from falling to raise her quota of $10,000,000. The slogan for this campaign among tho farmers Is "A Liberty bond on every farm." Farmers ar? not expected to buy Liberty bonds In large amounts, 'but if every ono of them will take ono or moro small bonds the success of Utah's drive will bo absolutely assured. According to figures published in "Tho Financial World." ono of tho largest financial papers in tho United States, tho farmora of this country have received in increased profits for their products over $6,000,000,000 during tho paat year.

Thoro romalns but ono more week of tho draft, as it must close October 27th. All subscriptions must bo In by that date. Ono of the great difficulties diffi-culties which Liberty Loan committees commit-tees havo to contend with Is tho tendency tend-ency to postpono buying bonds. Tho Immense volume of subscriptions needod to raise $3,000,000,000 requires re-quires n tremendous amount of tlmo to reccivo and record. Every person per-son therefore, who intends to subscribe sub-scribe for Liberty bonds, should do so Immediately. Any bank ln,tho stato of Utah will reccivo subscriptions. Tho government govern-ment permits tho Individuals to subscribe sub-scribe on a partial payment plan Involving In-volving tho payment down of only 2 per cent of tho amount subscribed.
