VICTORY LOAN
CAMPAIGN IS
LAGGING SOME
The Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign in the Xenana district is ap
parently not as well supported as
j it ought to be, and* from all ac
counts, considerably less than half
; of the quota allotted to Xenana
ihad been subscribed up to closing
I time last night. Tomorrow will
J begin the last week of the cam
j paign, and it is to be hoped that
Xenanaites will rally to its support
as usual and make this loan, if
possible, as great a success as its
predecessors have been in this dis
trict.
I The following telegram, address
| ed to the Council of Defense, was
| received this morning from Gover
j nor Riggs:
I “Following telegram just receiv
jed from Treasury Department: ‘On
j the reports we receive here it is
evident that the success or failure
] of the Victory Liberty Loan cam
! paign from standpoint of distribu
I tion now depends on the ability of
* the organization to reach the indi
j vidua! by means of personal so
j liciting. emphasizing to him bis re
i spons:bibt:es for helping to pay for
j the expenditures which contributed
jso materially to an early ending of
the war. Public demonstration and
i entertainment may help to create
i an atmosphere, but will not be re
: fleeted in the sale without the
strongest kind of individual sales
i manship.’ You should therefore
j enlist for next week enthusiasm
jvour organization every possible so
| licitor and make sure your entire
district is thoroughly canvassed in
: order that every possible buyer may
j be enrolled. This is the final test
. and, perhaps, hardest test of the
| great organization which we have
created—let us not fail.”
j Every effort is being put forth,
loee to enroll every possible sub
scriber, and the nope is entertained
' that Xenana will, at least, fully
i subscribe the allotted quota. Two
members of the ladies’ committee—
Misses Mildred Anderson and
Queenie Russell—went out to the
end of steel a few days ago. They
: will visit every camp between Xe
nana and Lignite and will undoubt
edly get every man that can pos
, sibiv do so, to subscribe to the
Victory Loan.
Mrs. R. S. McDonald has already
.sold several bonds at the postoffice,
and Mrs. Car] Schmidt, chairman
of the ladies’ committee, has also
secured several subscribers in the
town and its immediate vicinity.
On the Fairbanks-Xenana right
of way, Mrs. J. J. Kestly is in
charge of the bond sales, and will
actively canvass the camps along
that line.
