Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 June 1917 — $123,000 IN LIBERTY BONDS [ARTICLE]

$123,000 IN LIBERTY BONDS

C. H. Tryon With $30,000 Is the Largest Subscriber. The government ■will have no cause for complaint of Jasper county’s response to the appeal to purchase liberty loan bonds. The magnificent sum of $123,000 was subscribed by and through the various banks of the county, the largest purchaser being C. H. Tryon of this city, who took $30,000 worth of the bonds. Mr. Tryon recently sold his farm east of the city and recognizing the purchase of liberty bonds as a gilt-edged investment, he did not hesitate to subscribe largely. Granville Moody of Barkley township was another latge subscriber, investing $5,000 in the bonds. A Leopold was another large purchaser, but it is probable that more than half of the total amount was subscribed by a large number of people throughout the county in, SSO and SIOO denominations. According to tHe Indianapolis papers the apportionment for Jasper county was $146,000, and it ‘is quite probable that a number of subscriptions made direct will bring the total well up to this sum.
