Jefferson county is coming to the front in the Liberty loan allotment and will step beyond the line which would put her in. the stacker class. This fact was evidenced yesterday when Col. T. J. Collier telephoned the Merchants and Planters bank yester- day to put his name on the list for $30,OOO. The Long Bell Lumber com pany of Kansas City, telegraphed E. $: Bloom, secretary of the chamber ot commerce, subscribing for $10,O0O, and subscriptions obtained by the To- cal committee brought the total for the day up to $54,45O, leaving to be raised to complete the quota of $592,- 900. Col Golfers is entitled to the ribbon for the largest individual sub. scription in Jefferson county.
 The subscription from the Long Bell Lumber company was a big thing in view of the fact that the company subscribed for $1 100000 of the Lib erty loan in the Missouri campaign. B. B. Bloom was the man who obtain ed the $10,000 subscription. The company is the parent organization of the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company and the Saline River Hard wood company, both of this city, and 4 which recently paid a bonus of $2O,- 900 to it's employees, with the assurance lthat a bonus of $40,000 will be paid January 1, 1918.
 MT. Bloom sent the following tele- gram to the company's office in Kan, JrnH rSrr D1,,3 Chamber of Commerce, per B. B.. Bloom, secretary"
 "Our county $1OO.OO0 short Liberty bond allotment. While appreciating your splendid subscription to your home city, we would be under lasting obligations if you can help us locally
 with a $10,000 subscription. Keep us out of stacker column."N
 No time was lost by the Kansas
 City office, as the reply was swift and in the affirmative, saying: -"While your request comes rather late, we are pleased to send you subscription for l$10.O00 Liberty bond"
 Chairman Bloom is Sanguine. l When Chairman M. E. Bloom was I informed of the way things were go- ing, he said, "Good old Jefferson; she lis bound to come out on top. Our people will come up with the balance long before the end of the week. The bows will raise that $109, 900 and they
 will get it before the last day of
 grace. Other cities and counties thru
 out the country are conducting their
 campaigns this week to make up their full quota. as no county wants to ap- bear in the stacker column. and the
 one which fails to raise its quota will be placed in that light before the
 public. The government has asked the people to take the bonds and the neopIe can show their faith and read mess to serve the country by taking
 the bonds. Jefferson county will take
 her share"
 Chairnan Bloom was also delighted
 with a telegram he received from w IL Hemingway Little Rock. chairmar
 of the state committee, who is in St { Louis. In his telegram, Chairman
 Hemingway said: -,. "F'rom reports of county chairman and subscriptions received from feder al reserve bank indicatiosn are tha' Arkansas' total will reach $l4,oOO,OVO, n0ll over the minimum. This splen did result is due largely to able ant \. efficient work by county chalrmen am l their committees" ,,, r The members of the commlttee WIZ !, are making the final canvass are; 5 5 5 c.
