WAYNE COUNTY TO DISPOSE OF LIBERTY BONDS V Quota of $875,000-" Assigned to Community Citizens Eager to Invest in U. S. Loan.

Wayne county 1b expected to dispose of $875,000 of Liberty Jonds, and it la as Important for the people of Wayne county to subscribe in full their alotted amount of bonds as it is lo furnish fighting; men for the army and navy. Up to the present time $626,000 of Liberty bonds have been purchased in Wayne county. There still remains $250,000 to be subscribed. Saturday the banks throughout the county reported a total sale of $30,600 of these for that day. At one of the Richmond banks today a young woman, employed as a clerk In a store, subscribed for a $100 Liberty bond. She applied $25 to her purchase and will continue to pay $1 per week until she has made payment in full. This Spirit is Needed. "It U thlu Vinri nf ftnirlt that will win the war. Every true American, j man, woman and child, must do his ; bit for Uncle Sam and one way of do- f ng your bit is to buy a Liberty bond, j which Is non-taxable and bears 3H per cent, interest," said a banker. Thomas A. Edison, in urging the purchase of Liberty loan bonds, said every one should help because it 13 worth something to every one to be an American citizen.. That la true. If Th-; lKh..VJ 'J I fS?! rJKK autocracy is able to dictate terms, American citizenship will not be worth what it is today. Every per son should do something, and most of us who can help In no other way can enlist our dollars. Those who are considering the question of buying Liberty loan bonds should bear in mind that they are not called on to donate anything. They are not approached to contribute one cent. All that is asked or tnem is to buy the securities of the government in order that the nation may have ready cash for its own and the immediate needs of our allies. The purchaser of the bonds is getting the safest investment in the world and interest on his money. EAST IN BIG DRIVE TO SELL BONDS OF BIG LIBERTY LOAN NEW YORK. "".Tune" 4.

Opposition to the teaching of the German language in the public schools of Richmond, is indicated by the fact that next year there will only be thirteen classes in German in the: high school, five less than were instructed in German during the term just closed.

F. Johnston, president of the Richmond school board, this afternoon. . Supt. Giles announces that arrange ments will- be made to teach Spanish at the high school next term, a plan which meets with the approval of Dr. Johnston, who points out that America's most important interests lie in Spanish speaking countries, South and Central America and in American colonial -possessions, the Philippines and Porto Rico.
