Second Liberty Loan
Drive Closed Saturday
Kimberly Subscribes Over $4O,OOO.OO,
Nearly Ten Per Cent OF The Total
Bank Deposits.

Saturday evening brought to a close
the big Liberty Bond drive that for
three consecutive days was being push
ed forward by local business men and
farmers The call for a drive came
too late for Kimberly to accomplish
her allotment but nevertheless her
teams decided that for the brief time
allotted them they would spare no eff
forts to make a success of their drive.
Kimberly had been appOrtioned some
$4,000 for the second Liberty Loan,
and had they been notified in time OF
their apportionment and of what they
were up against, it is the opinion OF
local leaders that the apportionment
would have been reached if not sur
passed.
As it was, however, the Bank Of
Kimberly reports the receipt OF $332OO
worth of applications for bonds, secur-
ed shortly before and during the drive
by the local teams. The Farmers &
Merchants National bank, reports the
receipt of $1,000. making a total raised
in the Kimberly precinct of $40, 500.
Besides this, some twelve thousand
dollars worth of bonds were purchas-
ed in Twin Falls by residents of the
Kimberly district, but as that was
registered with the Twin Falls sales,
it cannot well be counted with the
Kimberly proportionment.
The drive for the bonds commenced
early Thursday morning with five
teams on the job. and continued until
Saturday evening. OF course several
of the teams completed their terri
tories before Friday evening, and then
either assisted some other team on
went back to their one work, which
was waiting in great need for loss o.
them.
The teams customarily struck foi
the high water marks. asking nothing
Jesse than five hundred dollars, eN
cept in rare cases, where they knew
their prospective buyer could not at'
ford so large an investment
Very little argument was needed il
the sale of the bonds All were fam
iliar with its Importance, and all were
sympathetic with the cause represent
ed by the teams The efforts eXpend
ed was directed in holding the pur
chaser up to a worthy mark, and no
permitting a buy away below the pur
chaser's ability.
While the teams we're somewhat dis
appointed in not being able to reacl
the aDportionment they nevertheless
feel as if they did all they could. an'
are glad it came out as we'll as il did
