Small villages and country districts
which have doubled and trebled their
quotas have been asked to suspend
operations but have replied that 1t is
beyond their power" One little. town,
largely populated by people Of Ger

per cent subscription this morning,
and stated that applications were still
coming. in, apparently as strong as
on the opening day OF the campaign:
The same is true in lesser degree Of
every district in the county. There
are no laggers. Every community,
from Bismarck down to the smallest
country district, has crossed the line
and is still forging, ahead.
Bismarck is responding to this
Third Liberty loan drive as it never
has responded to any other appeal.
The spirit is reported as 100 per cent
American. Committees which felt at
first they had been rather shabbily
treated in the matter of territory now
are boasting of their districts as the
best in the city. Residence territory,
where committees expected to do lit:
tie, believing most Of the heads Of
families would be solicited down town,
are proving that as ~bond.buyers the
female OF the species is fully as
ready as the male. .
The Third Liberty loan will have a
greater distribution in Bismarck and
Eurleigh county than either Of it's pre-.
decessors. There will be much larg-
er number of small bond-buyers, TAX
ing $50 and plVO denominations, and
this is the end which has been sought
in this campaign, in order that the
American people may be proven to- be
behind the war and back of the ad-
ministration, with the dollars as we'll
as their ballots. .. ~
Statistics Tomorrow. -
Acting under instructions from
headquarters, the Burleigh and Bis
marck loan committees will withhold
statistics on the drive until tomor-
row. noon, when the big drive will
end, so far as the city is concerned,
with luncheon at the Mckenzie. The
results, now being tabulated by W.. l..
Koran, will be announced at this meet
ing. County Chairman, H. P. God
dard and City Chairman p R. Fields
will have reports z to present, and
everyone will have an opportunity to
know tomorrow afternoon just how
we'll their city and county have done. i
The Tribune is permitted to say
nothing more at this time than that
county, is over, well over.
and that the big drive has lost none Of
it's momentum. Burteigh will easily
hold it's own with other counties in
the oversubscription of the big loan.
and will have done its share, With the
rest of North Dakota, to make the
