CALLED VANISHED JOB
TO BEAT THIS BUREAU
U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey To-
day Passes $35, 900 Mark in Lib
erty Loan Subscriptions.

If any government department or bu
reau desires to vie with the United
States coast and geodetic survey in
buying and urging the buying of lib
erty bonds it will have a man -sized job
ahead.
Here are few things this club. with
a membership of zoo, ranging from the
superintendent of the service to the
charwomen, has done:
Probably the first branch of the gov
eminent to organize a Liberty Loan
Club. This was done to get subscrip-
tions to the first liberty loan.
Through subscriptions of members.
and other subscriptions obtained
through their solicitation. chalked up
$4S, 900 for investment in the first bond
issue.
Today reached the $4,000 mark on
the campaign for the second issue.
Through the blanks circulated among
the members of the club a sum was
contributed. in amounts from ten cents
to one dollar, to insert an advertise
ment in The Star in behalf of the bond
issue.
This club also made unique provi-
sion for the installment purchase Of
the bonds subscribed to the first issue.
A note was given to the bank, and as
the subscriptions of employees come
due, since many of these employees are
been instructed by them to deduct the
amount due, and thus payment to the
bank is made as if the entire $4,000
had been bought on the installment
plan by one person. Thus the bank is
saved considerable trouble.
