Chairman L. B. Hanna Of the

days Of the campaign will witness
the completion Of the states full
quota. .s.

600. ..-.
my statement is based on reports
from all counties in the state. said
MIR. Hanna this noon. "It is as close
to the mark as 1t is possible to make
it at this time.
Workers stiIl in the field are
bending every energy to clean UP the
work by Friday, as reports must be
made to the federal reserve bank n
Minneapolis by Saturday, the closing
day OF the nations campaign.

and the new bond subscriptions TAX
en- during this week. must reach a

German Speaker Aids Bond Cam
Chairman Hanna today announced
that Rev. Christian Holm, OF New
Ulm, Mimi, a German Lutheran
minister, will make a three day
speaking campaign I'm the interests
of the bonds, travelling over Mcintosh
county. this state. He opens his

Rev NIr. Holm is an intensely
patriotic American, who volunteered
to aid the best he could. His talks
will be in the German language.
Bond Holders Outnumher Old
Record.
by the close OF the present cam
paign in North Dakota, there will be
more individual holders Of govern
ment bonds in the state Of North
Dakota, than there were holders OF
government bonds in the whole ma
tion before the war;, said Mr.. Hanna
this afternoon.
THAT indicates Just how thorough
Iy the committees have done their
work In many districts in getting the
bonds to the people.
Boy Scouts Praised.
THE Boy Scouts have also been
effective workers in the campaign
throughout the state. My reports
show they have given valuable aid,
and ! want to express my apprecia-
tion OF their patriotic efforts.
A Nation Record,
That LaMoure county has made a
record probably without parallel in
the nation was indicated in reports
received from that county. 1t has
subscribed its quota with a 100 per
cent margin, and every bond has
been sold direct to individuals, not
a single bank being required to make
q bond purchase. Its subscriptions
are $19S,550, the women subscribing
$4,000 OF that amount, 2S4 Of them
taking bonds. There were 1,425 men
subscribers, taking $171,550 in bonds.
Great Northern Subseribes $500, 900.
The Great Northern railroad has
made a total subscription Of 100000
IN North Dakota, crediting 100000
of that amount to each of three cit
ies-Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot.
Chairman Hanna was advised of
the Great Northern subscription late
yesterday afternoon.

Good weather is required for the
closing work of the campaign, and

with the rural canvass for bond
sales.
