indoors, the second day's Liberty

subscriptions for $25,750 were made,

When the first lights at the base of

night, they showed a total of $158,300
for the first 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
dally than were contemplated. The
work progressed so rapidly yesterday
that the committee issued a state

quarters immediately and make their
subscriptions.
