Total county quota -. ... 81 ,365, 300

The Medina County Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign was started off be-
times and with a bang, when Spencer
township announced Saturday morning
that she had overtopped her quota of
$56,850.
It was foregone conclusion that
Spencer would lose no time in per-
forming her duty to Uncle Sam, but
to have been able to record it's full
fillment within a few hours after the
campaign opened, was quite sufficient
to produce temporary palsy with the
average hustler.
At 9 o'clock Saturday morning Spen
Ger announced that she had taken 217
subscriptions, totalling $4,000.
Only few townships have made an
active canvass for bond sales this
week, the others taking the time to
prepare for a thorough combing of
their respective territories at the be-
ginning of the second week, when they
expect to overtop their quotas in a
hurry. For that reason no sectional
results will be published this week
merely the approximate county total
to date.
A feature of interest in the local
work this week was the opening of a
\ Liberty Loan headquarters in the vii
lage. The building on West Washing
ton street, formerly used as meat
4 market, has been fitted up with tele-
\ spsses j l5eo ia II 1iftA

Mr.. J. W. Fulton Of the Fourth Fed
eral Reserve Bank, who is assisting
in the Medina campaign, is in charge
of the headquarters, assisted by Miss
Madeline Beedle as typist. The tele-
phone number is 4353 and any one de-
iring information concerning the
loan is asked to make free to call up
OIL the office.
No expense has been incurred in Sc
curing and fixing up the headquarters
everything being donated, even to the
use of the building, whose owner sig
nified a pleasure in turning over its
use for so noble purpose.
Officials of the county's various bank
ing institutions report the daily re-
ceipt of a large number of unsolicited
subscriptions, and interpret this fact
as favoring an early reaching of the
county's quota of $1,325,800.
As announced elsewhere, there will
be grand demonstration in Medina
on the afternoon and evening of Tues
day, Oct. Is, the occasion being the
coming to the village of the Great
Lakes Band of fifty pieces, which with
many other forms of entertainment be-
ing arranged by the local campaign
committee, will make the event a
memorable one, besides fitting pre-
lude to the closing week of the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive.
The privilege of naming ten ships,
built under the supervision of the U.
S. Shipping Board, and ten tanks to
be used on the western front has been

trict. These ships and tanks will be
