Idaho's liberty bond campaign Will
not end until IL o'clock tonight. Sue
cess is assured, but the state commit
tee is taking no chances. 1t is felt that
1t will be far better to have an over
subscription than to have the states
quota fall short even few thousand.
State Chairman Davis set the figure
at 100000 at the outset of the drive.
Reports received at the state headquar-
tiers at noon today showed that only
few thousand were lacking. but there
is always the chance of reports being
duplicated, making 1t necessary to
drive for an over subscription.
1--WE have arranged for every bank in
Idaho to remain open tonight" said
Chairman Davis. 1--WE believe that
many people will decide to loan the
government their credit at the last
minute. We are confident of success
in attaining our quota, but Idaho
should make s10,000,0O0 and set the
pace for all western states"
