WASHINGTON, oct. IS.


The second Liberty Loan is at last hit
ting a stride that brings success in sight.
About half the $4,000, 900 600 minimum quota
is subscribed today. Though Treasury De-
partment officials renewed hopes of achiev'
ing the $4,000, 100000 mark they again
warned that the eight remaining working
days must show an average subscription
of $435OOO, 900 each.
The rise in the daily average rom Ssi.'
900, 900 to the $l75,O00,00O mark in the
last few days has been due to the great
number of small subscriptions. The Lib
erty Loan has struck home to the man OF
small means. Workingmen, farmers, SOL
diers and small wage-earners are buying
bonds, attracted by partial payment plans
Of banks.
Uniuue schemes, ranging from that Of
having deaf mutes sing patriotic songs with
their fingers to the suggestion that society
women scrub floors on their knees, have
been adopted by the Treasury Department
to float the second Liberty Loan.
Next Saturday aviators will scatter bond
purchasing appeals all the way from Mine
ola. L. J., to San Diego, Cal, and the fol-
lowing day 10000 preachers will make
siI1ilar appeals from their pulpits
Every available force that can be utilized
in the campaign for the SIS, 900, 900 zoe bond
sale Is being brought into play. No sug-
gestions that offer the least hope Of assist
ance are being rejected by those in charge.
Officials of the Treasury Department
learned today that the deaf mutes in the st.
Thomas School, St Louis, will sing the
star Spangled Banner" with their fingers
next Sunday in an effort to increase sub
scriptions.
Wives of twenty-five st. Louis million
aires offered their services as bill posters
for the Liberty Loan volunteering to carry
buckets of paste and post the advertising
literature on the billboards of the CITY.
Today a st. Louis woman, who had a son
in the Spanish-American war came In with
$1,000, saying she wanted bonds for the
entire sum.
Next saturday, 100000 Boy Scouts will
begin a five-day campaign. They have
been training for weeks with songs and
arguments A booklet on "How to Become
a Bond Salesman" has been placed in the
hands of eaeh scout. The story is told in
one-syllable words, and the lesson not only
| tells the youthful salesman how to ap-
proach his prospective customer, but tells
| him how to meet his arguments.
The book takes the scout through his
| day from the time he washes his face In
| the morning until he goes to bed at night
Especial emphasis is laid on the desirRbility
OF a clean face and well-bTushed hair.
A song "Over Here" TO the tune oi
"over There" has been written for the Boy
