S. P. Employees Take Over Mil
lion and Half of Second Loan

The Southern Pacific Company
has reported to the officials of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
that subscriptions to the Second
Liberty Loan by $4,000 employees
of the Pacific system totaled ST.
546, $50. The figure includes $685. :
500 subscribed by employees of
the Pacific Electric and about $780,
900 subscribed through other than
Company channels.
For the first loan, Southern Pa
cihc employees of the Pacific sys-
tenn 81 463, 800, and subscriptions
from the Atlantic gystem made a
grand total of Approximately ST.
900, 900. This figure is expected
to be exceeded for the second loan
with the Atlantic figures added.
A surprising feature of the sec
ond loan was the fact that while
the response was larger it came
from fewer employees. Over sew
enteen thousand subscribed the
first time and less than fifteen
thousand the second occasion.

So much has been written Of tho mar
velous all-round athletic proficiency OF
Oliphant, the West Point athlete. that
the fact another has made an even
greater record for the Army is being
generally overlooked.
The youth whose record is even great

Hobbs made letters in foot ball, base
ball, basket ball and track sports. as

Hobbs athletic glory Is the fact that
