APPEAL TO FARMERS

TO SUPPORT THE LIBERTY LOAN At Friday’s meeting of the Te Awamutu branch of the ' New Zealand Farmers’ Union a circular letter was read from the Dominion president, Mi W. W. Mulholland, soliciting support for the third Liberty Loan. '“ This loan ■ is a very important pait of the war effort,” wrote Mr Mulholland, “ and in assisting in its success farmers will be striking a real blow for the war effort. At the same time investment in the loan is materially assisting to maintain our national finance on a sound basis. 1 would suggest that you draw the atteintion of farmers to the wisdom of putting money which they cannot now spend on maintenance and improvements on their farms into the war loan, so that it may be available later on when the opportunity occurs to carry out work deferred on account of lack of labour and materialsBy investing in the loan to the fullest possible extent we will be helping those who are protecting us and in addition helping to maintain the economic stability of the country,” the letter concluded. The chairman (Mr A. S. Wyllie) commended the appeal to members of the Union and all farmers.

TE AWAMUTU INVESTMENTS Up to date subscriptions to the loan in the Te Awamutu Postal district amount to £31,460 9s Bd. Of this total £20,400 was lodged at the trading banks and £11,060 8s 8d at the Post Office. The “Bond Wagon” is schedulted to arrive in Te Awamutu at 3-30 p.m- on Monday next. Details of arrangements made will be published on Wednesday
