HELP WIN AN HONOR FLAG

WILL YOUR CORPORATION BE ON THE HONOR ROLL? J. H. Chapman, chairman of the Jasper County Third Liberty Loan Drive, has apportioned to each corporation of the county their quota of the $240,000 to be raised between April 6th and 16th. The total valuation of the assessed property of the county is $15,8141,000. The per centage necessary to raise $240,000 is 1.6 per cent. In other words, if each person in the county will buy bonds to the extent of 1.6 per cent of their assessed valuation the full amount of our quota would be raised. But, we have a large amount of property in the county owned by non-residents, also much of the valuation is represented by railroad assessments. If you want to make sure that your corporation will raise it’s full quota, figure on buying about 5 per cent or more of your assessed valuation. Let the minimum be SIOO, for those who own small farms and $50.00 for those who do not own their homes or a farm. Please study the figures and be advised that if you do not do your part that you are a slacker.
