DAUGHTER MEETS GOOD SUCCESS SELLING BONDS

William B- Auston, of Chicago, was in Rensselaer Wednesday afternoon and while in the city he called at the office of the Republican. He reports that his daughter, Virginia, had sold on. last Saturday and Monday, $54,000 of Liberty Loan Bonds. Mr. Austin had been out of the city since that time, having gone to Indianapolis and from there to Lafayette, but he felt quite sure that she had continued' the campaign with equal success during his absence. He reports that he had met in Chicago the banker who has charge of the Third Libert/ Loan drive in the state of lowa. This gentleman is the president of the First National bank of Mason City, lowa. He told Mr. Austin that he had prepared a card index of the men of the state and had grouped them as follows, basing* his classification upon the returns from the two previous loan drives: All who had done their full duty had theft- names placed upon white card; those who- had .dona something, but not enough had their names placed upon red cards and those who had done nothing had their names placed upon yellow cards. This banker said he proposed that after the campaign was closed this time to have the names of the yellow published in the county seat papers of their respective counties. Mr. Austin expressed the opinion that the allies were taking pretty good care of themselves in France and he thinks that possibly they may be willing to still allow Germany to obtain more ground provided she may be made to pay for it at the rate of fifty Germans per acre. Mr. Austin continued to Chicago on the 6:50 p. m. train.
