1.-THE enthusiasm and good will Of
the statesmen counts for much" said
q. member last night. '''1t reflects the
feeling Of all the business men. the
general feeling that everyone in. the
city is going to do his utmost to see
that the Grand Forks quota is greatly
oversubscribed."
The quota for Grand Forks is
sS75.oo0, but inasmuch as the govern
nent is to accept all oversubscriptions
the committee Ia aimed far beyond
that figure. The third loan is for So
900. 900. 600, - figure which is much
lower than bankers throughout the
country anticipated. Secretary Nc
Adoo announced, however, thai all
oversub sc riptiens would be accepted
) and declared that the government de-
sired three'or four times the amount
!, fixed. Grand Forks is going to do
its share to get that immense over
3 subscription. II. t g
