BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS sss1, $50.
Hopeful Prospect of Reaching Districts
 Mininum AIIotment of $411 ,0o0.

Entrants subscriptions to the Lib erty loan took a splendid upward swing during Wednesday, set aside as Liberty Day. and late Ill the afternoon after the close of business at the First National bank it was announced that the total for this district was s331,- $50
 It now seems very probable that the districts subscriptions will reach at least to the minimum allotment for this district $441. 900 and that Putnam can claim the splendid achievement of what has been considered very doubt ful of accomplishments.
 Wednesday was the worst kind of a day for workers in the interest of the loan to he about in. but. they kept at thelr task and by liberal use of tele- phone service secured many subscrip- tiors from distant and outlying points in the district.
 There was a rain. too. of voluntary subscriptions. many of these evident ly having been reserved until We'd nesday by persons who desired to ob- serve Liberty Day.
 The subscriptions reported for the day amounted to about $45,0oo
 Scores of small subscriptions are lool-ed for today and the remaining days, of the week iron, wage earners whc are now falling iIto the length ening lines Of bond. buyers prepared to loan their money to the govern ment that the war may be successful iy prosecuted ard peace restored.
