MANY APPLY
FOR SECOND
LOAN BONDS

Wayne county's campaign for the
sale of Second Liberty Loan bonds is
under way. and according to state
ments given out by Richmond banks
today there have been numerous ap-
plications received for these securities.
Most Of the banks in the smaller
towns of the county also have been
booking orders for the bonds and there
is no reason to doubt that Wayne
county will give as good account of
itself in the sale of the second issue
as 1t did when the original bonds were
floated. At that time the quota for
Wayne county was 100000 and the
subscriptions received totalled more
than $1,300,Oo
Quotas Not Announced.
George L. Gates, president Of the
Union Natioanl Bank, who Is chair.
man of the Wayne county committee
having in charge the sale of the Second
loan bonds, said today that the state
committee has not as yet notified him
of the quota for Wayne county. The
government has indicated the quotas
for each of the several federal banl
districts but the subdivision quotas Of
these districts have not been deter
mined
The Wayne county committee de
sires to impress on the citizens in gen
eral that the Second Liberty Loar
bonds will draw interest at the rate O.
per cent; will be free from every
form of tax and therefore may be con
sidered high class investment
Under the arrangement for floating
the second issue the denominations art
such that the small investor will hav,
| no trouble in purchasing bond.
Small Buyers viii Get 'Em.
All persons subscribing for bonds o
from $50 to $1,000, are certain to re
ceive the bonds, while applications TO
bonds Of large denominations will TAX
their turn and If there is an over-sub
scription, which seems probable, man.
persons who applied for bonds of larg
denominations may be disappointed.
Richmond and Wayne county eli
izens desirous of doing patriotic dut
as well as taking advantage of gill
edge investment, are invited to cal
on any of the banks in Richmond o
in any of the towns of the count
and the plan will be explained In d.

possible chance single loan offered
by the United States government to

secretary Of the United States treas
ury, when speaking to mass meeting
of persons interested in boosting the
second Liberty loan through the state
here today.
He made the statement concerning
the effect of the failure of loan aft
er having told how the United States
treasury is the heart Of the war ma
chine, and feels the shock Of every
thing done through the expenditure of
money.
The gold pile" in the treasury must
be kept as plentifully supplied as the
coal pile of a business. Mr. McAdoo
said.
On the question of subscribing for
the government bond, Mr. McAdoo
pointed out that the government does
not ask that anything be given to it
