At a noon luncheon at the Fred

Thomas was the guest of the gather

chairman of the county committee.
the bankers which was inspiring to
work and duty and gave a keynote
to the campaign that should be an
uplift to the workers and to the pur-
chasers of the Liberty bonds.
II am in this campaign for three
reasons, said Mr.. Thomas First. ]
believe in it. Second, I have been
asked by Washington to help In my
limited way and third-because ]
have a boy over there in France. a
son who went into service because he
do all that l can to back him up and
to give all the aid I can to the other
sons Of the fathers and mothers of
America.
The Greater Reason.
'And for still another and greater
reason I want to do my best"
To illustrate this last thought Mr..
Thomas digressed to give, in q plain,
clear manner certain personal expert
ences which had convinced him OF
the higher state of man in a future
life which he believed to be largely
governed by our individual lives here
the mans incentive to worthwhile
deeds, statement woven about men

"And we have never had more
wonderful opportunity to measure up
to really great things that is present

He did not talk the justness Of our
being in the war, taking 1t for grant
ed that his hearers were already well
convinced Of that and of the full
righteousness Of our cause for democ.
racy. and for liberty. and for hu.
manity. But he briefly pointed oul
the logical conclusion of his thought
that the Liberty loan, the very pres
ent and immediate thing to be con.
sidered must be pushed to a complete
t and speedy conclusion and that tf1t
ispirit Of service and duty, for the
benefit to ourselves from other than
mere monetary standpoint was the
imperative and impelling call of tht
hour.

next thirteen working days, the treas
ury department announced today,
can the Liberty Loan reach the sub
scription goal officials are hoping for.

all federal reserve banks that only
$325,465,0 in subscriptions had
been reported to them," reads the an
nouncement, caused committee
chairmen to send out hurried rallying

men. This amount is less than seven
per cent of the total $5,000,0 900, 900
subscription it is hoped by Secretary
McAdoo will be rolled up by October

"only by the most strenuous cam
paigning, 1t is realized, can the de-
sired goal be reached In the remain
ing thirteen selling days. The most
hopeful sign In the situation is the
virtually unanimous declaration OF
district chairman that the official fig-
