did not report.
$4,000 Is Goal
At the Liberty Loan headquarters
in the Dauphin Building, officials
immense total would result from to-
days work, despite the unpromising
condition of the weather. The fact
that it was wet underfoot and for a
part of the time, pouring overhead,
did not cool the enthusiasm of the
picked men who are determined to
show the country at large that Har-
risburg, as usual, will do her share.
The goal set for this city is S4.-
100000. Harrisburg and Dauphin
county, together with the allied
towns in Juniata, Perry and Cum
berland county, must sell bonds ag-
gregating $7,500,000 to meet the
quota assigned by the Treasury De-
partment.
Every effort was made this morn
ing to make to-day the record day of
the campaign. The PENNSYLVANIA rail-
road campaign is being waged with
vigor. Other big industries of Har-
risburg, notably the Pipe and Pipe
Bending Works and the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, are conducting
similar campaigns.
Everybody Wants One
Folks in the Harrisburg district
are glad to buy the Second Liberty
Loan Bond. This is the outstanding
feature of the big campaign. Here
and there the solicitors find a man
or woman who is Withholding
