Hard Work is Required

Reports from less than one-fourth
Of the workers and generals in Far
go's three districts in the. second
Liberty Loan bond sale to late Tues
day night showed a total of $14s, 900
in subscriptions. according to an an
nouncement from Cass county head
quarters today.
It was also announced that un-
solicited, oyer-the-counter subscrip-
tions in banks to Tuesday evening
were $4,000, bringing the report total
for the first two days Of the drive to
$271, 900.
These figures are but indications
as to how the bonds are selling, it
was said at headquarters, and mem
hers of the committee assume that
Fargo's quota Of s650,000 has nearly
been reached. They base their as
sumption on the ground that the
three-fourths OF the workers who
have made no report have done as
well as those who have, and on the
fact that emery worker is on the job,
and working hard.
Nearly all OF the workers hav
called at headquarters for additional
subscription blanks. and have de-
ferred making a report with the
declaration that I'm too busy just
now" AS all subscriptions must be
listNE, a job which takes some little
time, the workers are putting off
making a report while the drive is on
in full blast
We are not worrying q Bit, said
enc OF the committee at headquarters
this morning, "for everybody is work
ing, and ii Fargo's total doesn't hit a
naaaton, il will come so close to it
that there won't be any fun in it,.
The committee does not expect
anything like . real report until
Thursday.

Reports from generals in the coun-
