The latest official figures gave
the total reported to the federal
reserve banks at $2,750,105,000,
with official estimates that at
least one billion dollars more un-
reported has been subscribed.
The most gratifying phase of
the race down the home stretch
today was the large number of
individual subscribers of small
means.
Thirteen million, five hundred
thousand Liberty bond buttons
have already been distributed,
and banks are clamoring for
more. Allowance for wastage,

ton mark, would be reached by

Authorities look to the banks to
help swell the totals today, but
their chief reliance is on wage
