GRAND TOTAL $3.50, 10000

The grand total for the Third Lib
erty Loan in Audubon county up to
yesterday morning was $3.50, $50. 90.
Our allotment was 1920 1856 $780,
$1,000 would be four hundred percent
of our allotment There is more
money coming in each day from non
residents and people who were absent
at the time of the big drive. OF this
amount practically all of it was SUBJ
scribed in three hours. We believe
that over 100000 was subscribed in
three hours between, 900 q. M, and
12:00 NJ, April 10th. This is lot of
money for something like twelve
thousand people to subscribe in three
hours. The population of the county
is just little more than 10000 peo-
pie. Practically every township in
the county went nearly double its al
lotment. Some went much more than
that
There will be some townships disap-
pointed. We know this because they
reported several thousand dollars
more than the figures show. All
townships have turned in some money
since. We can see no other explain
alton for this than that they made
big mistake in footing up their total
when they reported it to the county
chairman the first evening of the
drive. The county chairman has used
great care in trying to see that each
township gets its proper credit but if
we have made any mistakes will be
pleased to correct the same The
county chairman wishes to congratu-
late the people of every township up
on the wonderful success they made
of the drive in their township. The
credit is due the many faithful work
ers and the many faithful subscrub-
ers.
There are now about $500 bond pur-
chasers of the third issue in Audubon
county. This means that better than
one person out of three of the entire
population of the county owns a bond.
1t means that more than $1,600,00O of
the three issues of bonds have been
bought in this county. This means
that if the bonds were equally distrib-
uted that every man, woman and
child in the county would own nearly
$3.50 in government bonds.
The following is the report by
townships, giving the number of ap-
plications from both men and women

each and the grand total:
