tional war savings day. Reports COM
ing to the office of Homer A, Miller.

forty eight counties either have gone
over the top or are SO close to the goal
that they will make 1t within the next
few days. This. added to the thirty
eight counties that had reached their
quotas before the present drive started.
brings the total up to eighty-si coun-
ties that are over or will be over with
in the next few days. Only thirteen
counties in the state will require addi-
tional effort to bring them up to the
mark Many counties reporting today
are subscribing from 10 to 11s per
cent oftheir quotas
], These over-subsoriptions will do
much to bring up the totals Of the
weaker counties. Polk. Woodbury. and

1t was spread over too great a front.
The Austrian disaster is valuable to

but pschologically. the chief Of staff
said, because OF it's stimulating effect

During the last week American acti-
