PAUL REVERES TO AID IN LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN

Midnight watch parties, April 5, throughout the homes and hamlets and cities of Indiana to usher in the first anniversary of America’s entrance into the world war and to

start the third Liberty loan campaign in the Hoosier state, was one of the plans mapped out by Hoosier and other officials at the conference of loan workers of the Seventh Federal Reserve districts in Chicago last week. Plans mapped out at the conference of the men who are directing publicity Tor the loan throughout the district include the use of thousands of. modern “Paul Reveres”— some riding on horses and some in automobiles—through the highways of the state in the early morning of the first day of the next Liberty loan to arouse the people to the fact that “the Hun is at the gate.” This was but one of the developments made public at the various meetings of the loan workers in Chicago, at which Indiana’s preliminary organization for the loan was subjected to the closest scrutiny by delegates from other states. At the Hoosier meeting in, the afternoon rousing patriotic speeches were made by Governor Goodrich and others, and at the dinner at night to all the loan delegates the Indiana Governor and most of the executive heads of the other states in the district were guests of honor.
