Richmond. however. did not start
Practically 80 work was done here
Yesterday, but campaign officials ex-
press the hope that Richmond enthusi-
asts, under the leadership of Mrs. ],
Allison Hodges, will to-day begin a
repetition of their work in July, when
they secured 23.67s pledges out OF a
possible $4,000 estimated by the gov
ernment
Richmond women do not contemplate te
n very Intensive campaign for pledges.
Ihey take the view that a large ma
1ority OF the homes have already been
pledged. and that no hard work is
necessary. Yesterday, through con-
terence at the Woman's Club. it was
determined that the placing of food
pledge cards In the hands Of the sew

AFFORD TO LAG BEHIND
Richmond. Mr.. Montgomery says. has
done so we'll with Red Cross and Lib
crty loans and It's showing in the first
food pledge campaign was so notable
that IT cannot afford TO be apathetic
In this instance. Richmond's record
in other things, he says, has drawn
the eyes OF the country to her; she is
an example which others follow "If
we do not lead now, we cannot expect
other Virginia cities and towns to get
as thoroughly into the work as tho
great and admitted need requires that
they should" he declares
In line with Mr.. MontGomery's argu-
ment is a telegram sent last night by
c. Edwin Michael, State campaign di-
rector. The telegram reads:
his is the day for action. To-
ow may be>too late. President

is but one choice. We can never con-

Don't delay Il moment. Don't stop
until you have gotten pledge card

J. Seay, Governor of the Federal Re-

a little more than s25.oo0.o00 shor, OF

,nent. and s53,ooo.oo0 greater than lis
minimum apportionment
These figures. however. must be
taken with reserve. officials OF the rea
eral institution explained. because they
were tabulated from postcard returns
from every section OF the district
Many OF the smaller institutions will
make their subscriptions through
larger banks. and there has possibly
been slight duplication. Bankers do
ct believe that this practice has been
",ensive, and anticipate only Slight
difference when the final reports are
made.
Returns continued to pour into the
bers Of the central committee for the
district declared that the total sub
scription would be several million dol
lars greater than that reported yes
terday. The district will not fall far
short of $lS0,0OO,oOo, in the opinion
OF bankers Final and complete re-
ports must be in the Federal Reserve
Bank not later than Thursday, and 1t
is not expected that banking institu-
tions will be able to tabulate their
subscriptions and file the proper re-
turns before that day.
DISTRICT NOW CLOSE

AT the close OF business late Sat
urday. returns from the district show
ed subscriptions of S13S,26S,0O0, and,
with the s34.97S,t00 reported yester-
day, the territory jumped nearer It's
maximum apportionment On the basis
of subscriptions already reported, and
from authoritative information, The
Times-Dispatch in it's Sunday morn
ing edition, forecast a total subscrip-
tion of approximately $40. 900. Re-
turns yesterday surpassed this figure
by nearly $4,000, 900. and Il further in
crease is expected.
Bankers were jubilant last night at
the improved showing of the dist rict,
and declared that their hopes had been
fulfilled. In the early part Of the
campaign 1t was necessary to resort
to much pleading to apparently arouse
country banks and the people to the
necessity of subscribing to the issue.
