Washington, D. c., Oct. &c.
Liberty loan totals flashed past
the $4,000, ,oo0, 900 mark today and
headed for the 5000, ,000, 900 maxi
mum with every indication that,
by continuation Of the relentless
campaign, the latter figure would
be realized when the books close
Saturday..
Although unofficial statements
from the II federal reserve dis
tricts do not total the figure, Off
cials tonight expressed the con-
viction that subscriptions were
past the $500, 100000 mark.
North Dakota's quota Of $7,OOO,000
will be over-subscribed, it was an
nounced today. The state is thorough
ly aroused to the necessity Of making
its dollars fight. Subscriptions are
pouring in at the eleventh hour, and
the prospects of the loan reaching at
least five billion dollars seem good.
There are still many, however, who
have not purchased at least one bond.
Two days more remain in which to
assist the liberty loan, as the books
do not close until midnight tomorrow.
Fargo banks boosted Cass county's
showing yesterday by subscribing for
$49O, 700 of the bonds in the follow
ing purchases:
Northern Trust Co., $4,000; Mer-
chants National bank, $4,000: First
National bank, 100000; N. w. Mutual
Savings & Loan, $4,000; Northern
Savings bank, $4,000; Equity Inter
national bank, $4,000; Dakota Savings
bank, $4,000; Fargo National bank,
$4,000: Scandinavian Amerieanebank
$2O.0OO.
Slope counties are responding loyal
ly. Total returns have not been tabu-
lated but when the results are known
the Americanism of this section will
be reflected.
Morton county's purchases will ag-
gregate about $23O,O0O, and of this
amount, Mandan will subscribe about
$155, 900.
Burleigh county's figures are still
growing Local banks have subscribed
for this issue, having also taken lib.
orally of the first loan. The local
banks will finance many Of the indi-
vidual purchases. There have been
no slackers among the Bismarck bank
ers. all of whom have enlisted in the
federal service to make the loan a
success.
H. P Goddard has received reports
from the city of Bismarck which total
1921 300. There are still several
teams to be heard from as we'll as
banks. The grand total for Burleigh
has now reached 266,70O with more
to come assuring at total in excess
of 100000.
Points outside of Bismarck report
as follows:
,Mcnoken, $3.50; Mckenzie. $1,000;
Sterling, $4,000; Driscoll. $4,000: Bald
win. $4,000: Wilton. 5000; Pegan,
s33.430: Wing. $500; Arena, $500;
Moffit. $3.50; Stewartsdale $3.50.
Grand Forks county will go 'Over
the top" with more than half million
in subscriptions.
Wilton's quota of $4,000 for the
second liberty loan will probably reach
$4,000 over that amount or $25,0oo.
The final drive is being pushed with
energy and the committee is hopeful
that when the last returns are in this
district will have done it's bit The
employees of the Washburn Ignite
Coal company have subscribed $15.73o,
or $3.50 over the quota for the district,
practically every man on the payroll
buying a bond. the amounts reaching
as high as $500 This splendid show
ing of North Dakota's premier mining,
institution is considered marvellous. as
many of the men are of foreign birth.
and their interest was not expected
to be very keen.
Wilton district was divided into sec
tions, $500 being apportioned for Nc
Lean and $500 for Burleigh. The
Mclean county quota will probably
exceed the apportionment by $4,000.
and efforts are being made to bring
up Burleigh county's list to the re-
quired amount.
Complete lists of all subscribers are
not yet available but the Tribune will
print the names of those not publish
ed to date who have purchased
bond
