I STILL INCREASING
Quota of $375,000 is Expect
$ed- to be Oversubscribed—
•. All Money Accepted.
Respite the light rainfall which
kept a number of prospective buyers
(indoors, the second day's Liberty
Jjoan campaign was productive of cx
£ellent results. During the morning
subscriptions for $25,750 were made,
tuaklng a total of $184,050 to date.
When the first lights at the base of
the Statue of Liberty were lighted last
night, they showed a total of $158,300
for the tirst day's work.
The rain delayed the day's sched
ule slightly, but not enough to make
any serious difference in the work
planned for the week. The sales force
is so large and works so rapidiy and
efficiently that the committee has
-been able to dispose of more sales
daily than were contemplated. The
work progressed so rapidly yesterday
that the committee issued a state
ment urging all buyers to visit head
quarters immediately and make their
subscriptions.
The same splendid feeling evi
denced yesterday prevailed again to
day. Men invited to call at head
quarters today appeared at the sehed
iisd hour and made their subserip
for the allotted amounts without
«.vlay. In a number of cases they
subscribed for much more ihan their
a.l'ottrnents.
Members of the executive commit
teie again urged the importance of
Over-subscribing the quota of $375,
*000. The third loan is for $3,000,000,
00,0, but all over-subscriptions are to
be,accepted. In a speech at the open
ing of the campaign. Secretary Mc-
Adoo said that the government de
sired that the loan be over-subscribed
three or four times. Following this
announcement, officials of the Ninth
federal- reserve district issued a state
ment declaring that a million sub
scribers were wanted in the district.
This means that Grand Forks, as well
as every other place in the district,
will have to greatly over-subscribe its
quota. If the work already done and
tne feeling manifested are any cri
teria, the city will go "over the top"
with splendid results.
