MANY WORKERS IN
THIRD LOAN DRIVE
Selling Forces Aggregate $4,000 and
Other Branches Constitute
VerltabIe Army.

A veritable army, comparable in
thoroughness Of organization and ef'
fectiveness of operation with those
now in the battle zones of France, Is
working at top speed in the Eighth
Federal Reserve District for the sue
cess of the Third Liberty Loan.
Reduced to the basis Of army divi-
sions-12,000 to a division-there are
practically eight divisions in the field,
as many Liberty Loan workers in the
states composing this reserve district
as there were American soldiers in
France Just before the recent big Ger
man drives.
This army of Liberty Loan workers
is being directed by a central organi-
cation comparable to an army's gen.
eral staff. On two floors of the Rail-
way Exchange Building, st. Louis. the
largest office building in the world,
occupying enough space to accommo-
date all the business houses of an
ordinary town, are the high command
ers Of this army. From this nerve
center of direction go out the direc-
lions, the orders, the advice to 1853
counties of the district. Each smaller
unit in each state and county has its
individual heads and leaders.
While these messages go and come
by telephone and telegraph, the GEN.
trail headquarters is launching a veri-
table avalanche of printed matter
over its territory. These tons of lit
erature, destined to reach the 1885,
600 population in the district, have
been mailed at the rate Of 100000
sheets a day. Nineteen hundred and
thirty-nine newspapers are reached.
One thousand ministers Of as many
churches are supplied with Christian
and religious argument for the sue
cess Of the loan.
Working directly under central
headquarters are 6.455 sales directors.
IL to a county. Working under each
director Is a staff Of between 10 and
Is statesmen. Even estimating the
sales force under each director at 10
men, this would make total of $3.50
statesmen. It is believed the total Is
nearer $4,000.
There are 5000 publicity directors
in the district, with stats Of assist
ants. There are 1000 speakers and
several thousand workers in miscel-
laneous fields.
A perfect system Of checking up on
all persons able to buy bonds has
been evolved. v. L. Price, director of
sales forces. can put his finger imme-
diately upon weak spots. Each sales
man is supplied with prospect" cards.
These show a mans financial ability
as regards buying Liberty Bonds. II
the prospect" refuses to buy a card
containing his refusal Is sent by the
salesman to the sales director Of his
district. The sales director, in turn,
forwards the card to Sales Director
Price.
Thus failure to subscribe Is def
nitely fixed. It does not end here
however. The man whose reason for
declining to buy Is not considered
good is entered upon one Of the vel
low Stacker" cards which are for
warded to national headquarters in
Washington, D. G. There he is elias.
sified with the "slackers" from every
reserve district in the Union.

FOODS TO FEED THE BOYS

Every farmer knows how his boys
Ike to eat. Mothers fried chicken
and apple dumplings and pumpkin
pies haven't chance in the world
when the boys sit down at table. Lots
of farmers boys are IN France and
the farmer doesn't want them to go
hungry over there. Liberty Bonds
buy food for them.

pessimistic discussion.

WATER-PoWER BILL FIRST.
Will Have Precedence Over All Other
Business in the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l2-Congress,
with its legislative program jammed with
revenue, draft, water power and other
important bills, will not adjourn until
just before the November elections, ac-
cording to a prediction yesterday at Wash
ington by Speaker Clark after he had
surveyed the situation. He said that while
the ways and means committee is plan
ming to report the revenue bill when
the house reassembles, the administration
bill for general development of water pow
er, by previous agreement, has right OF
way and can only be displaced by unani
nous consent. The revenue bill will have
finished it's committee stage, according
to Chairman Kitchin's plans, so it can be
considered whenever the house is ready
and it has been announced the draft ex-
tension bill will be considered promptly
in the house military committee with hear
ings
