COMMITTEE
APPOINTED
FOR
EACH BRANCH OF PRELIMINARY
WORK

DISTRICT CAPTAINS SELECTED

City Divided Into Four and County
Into Nineteen Districts,
Each With Captain in Charge

The organization work for the Liberty loan drive in Josephine county
is about completed. All committees have been appointed for each
particular branch of the work.

A map has been prepared dividing the county in 19 districts. These
districts have been outlined to conform as nearly as possible to topographical
conveniences. Each district will have a team captain who will have charge
of the work in preparing questionnaires. This captain will select any
number necessary as members of his committee, to make a thorough canvass
of the district and obtain the names of all persons who are the head of a
family or have an income or earning capacity sufficient to justify the
purchase of a Liberty bond. It is the intention of the committee having
charge of this part of the work to have all questionnaires returned by
April 5.

The cards will then be turned over to a committee which will insert the
amount of taxable property of each person as shown by the county tax
rolls. When this is completed the cards will be delivered to the rating
committee.

The names of those who subscribed for Liberty bonds of either of the
prior issues will also be provided and the amount inserted in the
questionnaire cards. All preliminary work will then be completed and
Josephine county will be ready for a systematic drive when the time
arrives for the Liberty loan campaign. The apportionment for this county
has not been made. Definite announcements as to the amounts, rate of
interest, kind of bonds, etc., will be made as soon as the information is
available.
