Among the subscriptions reported
to-day was an additional $4,000
from the Pipe and Pipe Bending
plant which has subscribed many
thousands of dollars since its orig
inal subscription of 100000.
Public Service Commissioner John
s. Killing to-day bought $4,000
worth of bonds.
Interesting reports nave been re-
ceived at headquarters on scores of
farmers who come to Harrisburg
markethouses each week. These are
being tabulated and an interesting
deadly parallel column may re-
suit, showing how some agricultur-
lists come through clean" and some
Bdo not come through at all.
~ Liberty Loan headquarters to-day
issued this statement:
Harry Miller, of the Central
Hotel, says that he bought bonds
of the three previous issues of the
Liberty Loan. He did. They were
each for $50"
Individual Total Large
The number of individuals who
have bought Liberty Bonds in the
fourth loan campaign is now much
larger than the total in the third
loan, which in turn was much larger
than the first and second. There are
Liberty bonds in the majority of Har-
risburg homes, it is declared, and so
rapidly are folks responding to the
emergency call that before Monday
Liberty Loan flags will be appearing
in windows for unbroken blocks on
the majority of city streets. There
are still numbers of men found on
street cars and on the streets who
do not have the bond buttons, and it
is noticeable that those are men who
have what is popularity known as
white collar" jobs.
Mr.. Mccormick Hopeful
II am confident that Harrisburg
and Dauphin county will get their
quotas" said Donald Mccormick
this morning. Il am hopeful that
Juniata county will give us big sur
prise before tomorrow"
William Jennings, chairman for
Dauphin county, spoke hopefully OF
his district.
"Dauphin county outside of Har-
risburg will have surprisingly good
record if the present ratio of bond
purchases continues he said.
A letter was received from neal
McAlusterville this morning from
one of the plain people"
IF the government says | must
buy Liberty Bonds, will do it, said
the writer but L am afraid of my
church.
He was informed that the propo-
sition is one strictly for his own con-
science to settle.
IF you think" he was informed
that you are standing by the gov
ernment of the United States. and
standing back of the boys in France
by refusing to buy bonds, that is a
matter for your conscience"

would be able to do for this man if
the Germans came through his sec
tion of the country, none seemed to
know.
Calls For Subscriptions
State and federal officials should
Immediately subscribe to the Fourth
Liberty Loan an amount equivalent
to the federal income tax on theiI
salaries from the payment of which
they will be relieved by tn Senate
Finance Committees action yester-
day." suggested Chairman Ainey, OF
the Pennsylvania Public Service COM
mission and former member of Con-
gress, to-day,
This would in the main affect sal
aries above two thousand dollars
and if Immediately responded to
throughout the United States would
produce a large sum in aid of the
Fourth, Liberty Loan.
State officials have nowhere asked
to be relieved from the tax but now
nuahat they are likely to be, they have
1mm ediate opportunity of supplying
the government with the cash equiv
alent by prompt subscriptions to the
Fourth Liberty Loan.
