World Peace Hoped For Within 60 Days The securing of this air fleet to exhibit In Ashland was due largely to the efforts of E. V.

A clause has been drafted for Insertion In the peace treaty fixing the date for thy transition to a state of peace 60 day after the signing of the treaty.

I less money at Ashland Trading Co. Aside from the1 parade and street Jubilation which marked the opening of the Victory Loan campaign last Monday no further demonstration Is used to mark the progress of the drive, save tho ready attention that awaits all subscribers visiting the local bonks for the 'purpose of pur chasing bonds. ' Nevertheless . Chair man Winter of the local campaign committee reports 1 that at noon to day subscriptions to this war loan reach $107,000. This without any solicitation on the jiart of the cam- Lpaign committee Speaks well for Ash land's Interest In always doing her duty and doing it without any fuss. . It Ik the earnest desire of the cam paign committee' to clean up Ash land's quota within a week and have none with the matter. In. order to do this all those having any money to invest, or are anticipating the purchase of bonds are asked to re spond quickly, so that the rest of the quota of $175,000 can be raised within the next few days at least. This can. he easily accomplished If Ashland people take hold and help out as promptly In the coming week s they have up to the present. The veny liberal terms of this loan make, it an attrractive Investment, and is on that practically every one can maka. The thing urged is speed on the part of the subscribers to finish up the quota and go over the top as soon as possible. Whited Family Meet Friends on Journey H. L.
