We all realize that the responsibility for doing this does not rest upon the snoulders of the chosen few but the shoulders of every blessed American man and woman.' I "The individual allotment plan used in the Ninth Federal district, because of equity and simplicity, places this responsibility straight up to each one of us and I have lived in the northwest long enough to know that the subscription of the Third Liberty Loan will express in no mild terms the patriotism, sacri fice and complete 'devotion to our country in this crisis." The big drive to subscribe the northwest's share of the $3,000,000,- 000 worth of Liberty Bonds of the third issue opened throughout the territory of the Ninth Federal re serve district officially today.

The drive in other parts of the nation began a week ago, April 6.

GOVERNMENT FIXES PAYMENT PLAN FOR LIBERTY LOAN BOND There seem to De several who are in doubt as to purchasing a Liberty bond on the payment plan.

This ratio holds true in bonds of $100, $500 and upward.
