From President Wilson down. Off

and steps to give the impetus will be

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The tardi
ness of the country in responding to
the second Liberty loan is causing
deep concern to officials here. Presi
dent Wilson and his cabinet are
watching the campaign with great in
terest
With half of the campaign gone
treasury officials estimated tonight
that not more than $500, 900, 600 had
been subscribed and they considered
this estimate liberal. 1t has become
appdrent to officials that a new and
tremendous impetus must be given to
the campaign if the subscription is to
approximate the $4,000, 000,000 hoped
for.
The whole weight of the administra
ton is to be thrown into the balance
for the rest of the campaign and a
drive of dimensions unapproached
heretofore is to be made during the
two weeks that remain before the
closing of the subscription books.
A new factor, calculated to hearten
the host of workers and to galvaniZe
the country into realization that the
most strenuous efforts must be made
if the big drive is to be consummated
successfully, will be introduced to the
campaign, probably within "a hours
Notwithstanding the splendid re-
ception given Secretary McAdoo in the
west, the efforts of thousands of
workers, and the most highly organ
lied publicity campaign ever known in
the country, the daily average of sub
scriptions has fallen far below what
officials had hoped for. The time has
come, officials feel, when the people of
the country must be made to realize,
in a manner that leaves no doubt that
they must subscribe without further

may then make his second drawing, as
he elects
In this way the box buyer can near
ly always secure his second box where
he wants it. Failing to do so by Sc
ecting a desirable box he can nearly
always exchange it with some one who
has secured one of the several adjoin
ing boxes. The chances for securing
just what one wants are greater
of course, in the first drawing, which
will be held in the chamber of com
merce rooms at 10 a. m, October 25,
than in the final drawing when there
are fewer boxes left
These plans have been developed out
of the experience of previous years and
ave proved very satisfactory. Any dis
satisfaction that might result can be
easily adjusted among the box buyers
and there seems to be no other way in
which the interests of those living at
distant points can be given an abso-
lutely square deal. Under this plan

STATE FAIR BOX
PLAN SOLUTION

In securing boxes for the state fair.
prospective buyers are sometimes en-
barrassed in carrying out their social
plans, through the fact that each box
only accommodates six chairs and
when they undertake to provide for a
larger party by securing two boxes,
under the system of drawing for boxes,
more often than otherwise, their two
boxes would not be adjoining.
The fair management seeks to over
come this difficulty in the following
way. If party desires two boxes for
himself and his friends, and deposits
the money for both with the commits
sion, he will be allowed to draw one
box and then select the other from
among any of the adjoining or adjacent
boxes not yet drawn. In the event
there is no vacant adjoining box left,
he may choose the nearest one, or he
