MARSHALL COUNTY AID IN WAR FUND Pages 293-305.
MARSHALL COUNTY contributed liberally of both men and means in support of the World War. The amount of government war bonds purchased by the citizens of this county was certainly creditable to it. The following reports made by the banks of this county, of quotas estimated for the county and the amount subscribed to the several LIBERTY BOND LOANS cannot fail to be interesting to the patriotic people and one of which future generations will look upon with commendable pride.
THE FIRST LIBERTY LOAN, 1917, the quota estimated for this county was $208,500, and the amount subscribed was $99,100.
THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN, 1917, the quota estimated for this county at $473,850, and the amount subscribed by the citizens was $672,750.*
THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN, 1918, the quota was fixed for this county at $540,400, and the amount subscribed was $831,100.*
THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN, 1918, was conducted upon the plan of a regular campaign, and was of unusual interest and was, beyond a doubt, well managed and the people were instructed and interested in many thing connected with bond issues that were of much benefit to them. It was a campaign of patriotism and instruction in matters of business interest and it was made plain that investment in Liberty Bonds was a matter of business and an opportunity for investment people should seek. It was a new method of thrift and an opportunity to save. The result of three weeks' campaign will tell the story of success of the campaign in few words and few figures.
The quota estimated or the county was $1,042,100, and the amount subscribed was $1,331,250. Oversubscribed $289,150.*
THE FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN or the FIFTH LIBERTY VICTORY LOAN was in the spring of 1919. The quota as estimated for this county was $742,350. The amount subscribed by the citizens amounted to the sum of $773,000.* *The above amounts are as reported by Federal Reserve Banks.

III-April 6 to May 4, 1918 ...............................831,100
IV-September 28 to October 19, 1918................ 1,331,250
V-April 12 to M ay 4,1919 ...................... 773,000
Total $3,707,200
The amount subscribed by citizens of the county and reported by local
authorities:
I-May 15 to June 15, 1917.............................. $176,100
II-October 1 to October 27, 1917......................... 672,750
III-April 6 to May 4, 1918...... ........................ 831,100

V-April 12 to May 4, 1919.............................. 773,000

The difference is accounted for by the purchase of Liberty Bonds from banks out of the county by citizens and credited to the counties in which the purchases were made.
The amount invested in Liberty Bonds and in War Saving Stamps was very creditable to the citizens of the county. War Saving Stamps were purchased to the amount of $628,640. The total amount, as reported, invested in government securities, amounted to the sum of $4,412,840. or nearly ten percentum of the total assesed valuation of all property in the county.
More than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS were donated by the citizens of this county to the organizations that aided the soldiers, both over sea and in camps in the United States. The above amount does not include RED CROSS work and cost of material used in making many articles of comfort for the soldiers.
