The quota of s35O,O0O for Barnes
county was greatly oversubscribed, the
total subscriptions amounting to $685.
$50. This is more than 30 per cent
over the mark. In Valley City and
immediate vicinity there were 1920 in.
dividual subscriptions for a total
amount of s252,700.
There were IA districts in the state
comprised. Of from one to four coun-
ties, and every district except one re-
ports an oyersubscription. The Bow
man district was the only one to fall
below the minimum. Barnes county
was fifth in rank of the distructs for
oversubscription. Green township
came through with clean score, plac-
ing bonds in every home. The Rogers
district had rs subscribers, which was
most creditable for a small district.
Taking everything into consideration
the showing by Barnes county was a
most favorable one, and great credit is
due the people and the committee

personal matters to attend to the work
of soliciting. Right here we want to
say that the chairman himself is en-
titled to considerable credit for his
masterful handling of the campaign.
Without the perfect organization and
minute attention to details it might
have shown different result. For the
time the boss forgot he was connected
with a banking institution, forgot ev-
erything but big visions of going over
the top of the quota with his company
of solicitors, and by putting pep and
vim into his organization, went over
in grand style. 1t was grand
achievement, and the chairman is en-
titled to his full share of the glory.
