Established chiefly through the efforts of American colonization soqieties which were seeking a homeland for the repatriated freedmen, its first settlers arrived in 1820. In 1847 the Free and Independent Republic of Liberia, modeled after the United States, was established. Great Britain was first to recognize the new republic, the United State®, not doing so until 1862. When faced with bankruptcy in 1912 Liberia was supported by our government Until an international loan was arranged., Five years lat- 1 er, when menaced by an influx of Germans seeking an African foothold after loss of their colonies, it promptly expelled them and declared war. In 1920 it became a member of the League of Nations. Order your Rubber Stamps at The Plaindealer. ; • ; On Sept. 13, we made a deposit of several checks at West McHenry State Bank.
