Liberty Loan. This was announced
this morning by County Chairman c.
c. st. Clair. who had official figures
from most of the banking centers of
the county. What few were lacking

believes that they will be enough high

The figures at hand show the coun-
try districts TO have sold bonds in the
sum Of $500, 100, or $1,000 under the
quota. Marshailtown will meet its
quota Of $960;Ov0, altho from the fig
ures at hand this morning, and they
are not official show that the sUbscrip-
tions thru the i've teams of the Mar
shalltown district will fall short about
Sl60,O0O, or show a total OF $4,000
in subscriptions TO the loan. However,
the banks Of the city will take the diff
ference, which Mr.. St. Clair estimated
would be about $780, 900, so that the
Marshalltovn quota is met. In addition
TO this amount the local banks agreed
at the beginning Of the campaign to
sell 100000 worth of the bonds. This
has been done.
Duplicates and Shrinkaqe.
While the sales by the Marshalltowa
n -rir ~L
of 100000 sold, there will be dupli-
cate orders to be weeded out, and an
other loss in shrinkage on subscrip-
tons where the banks will find that
the customers are likely not to be able
TO handle the amounts they have sub
scribed for. In this event the banks
will sell smaller bonds and take on the
difference.
Team Captains to Settle.
incidentally, now that the campaign
has closed, the five team captains, L. C.
Abbott, W. H. Arney, H. A. Weisman.
W. G. Stricken, and F. w. Wilbur will
pay for the oyster supper for the 200
workers, served on Oct 10 following
the challenge Of City Chairman D. w.
Norris. The challenge was that the
five local teams should sell 100000 OF
the bonds. In the event that the sales
men sold this amount Mr. Norris was
to foot the bill. In the event that they
failed the five team captains settled
the account.
