 25 Million An Hour.
 Overalls here were not inclined to pinimize the tremendous task. A vast amount of hard work must be done during the next 29 working days by every person in the ranks Of the great organization. An average of S125 900 O00 a day in subscriptions for the entire period would bring the to- tai only up to the minimum. What officials hope for is to make every day a s2OO, O,OOO,O 900 day, or on an eight hour basis, s25,OO0,O0O an hour. This would bring the total to within hail. ing distance of the S5,00O.0 100000 which the country is expected to sub scribe.
 Ten Million Subscribers.
 With 10,oOO,OOO subscribers as the goal, the average daily subscription list would show 100000 names. Again computed on an eight-hour working day basis, 50,00O men and women would have to subscribe every hour to bring the total up to expectations.
