DeKalb Township (Illinois) Meets Minimum Quota for WW I's Third Liberty Loan


From the May 2, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"DeKalb Township has subscribed to the minimum quota for the Third Liberty Loan and has received the honor liberty flag allotted to every township subscribing the minimum quota.The flag arrived last night, and at present time no plans have been made for the unfurling of the liberty flag.  It is probable that the ceremony attendant upon such will be deferred until DeKalb township has subscribed the maximum quota which will be within the next few days."
