THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.
Linn COunty's Quota Has Been
Fixed at $685., $50

All is now set for the great Third
Liberty Loan drive for So, 900, ,00O,-
600 with it's over subscriptions.
Every county in every state in
the Union, and every town and city
in every county, is listed at ST..
Louis, and at the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington.
Each town, city and county has
had the quota of bonds it must take
allotted to it, and each will be ex-
pected and must take the bonds
assigned.
The financiers everywhere ex-
pected the issue to be much larger
than the So, 900, 100000 required.
Plans were perfected for a sale
largely in excess of this. Now
with the organizations that have
been effected the quota should be
subscribed in a very brief campaign
Many counties and towns have
advised headquarters that their
quotas are already pledged, and
with a little work the oversubscrip-
ton will reach sums that will show
the world that the patriotism OF
the people has been aroused to a
high pitch; will show our Allies
across the water that the United
States may be depended on to do its
part, and will demonstrate to the
kaiser and all Germany that every
man in this nation and every dol
lar of Americas wealth will be en-
listed in the war that is to sweep
Prussianism from the face Of the
Earth.
For the Third Liberty Loan Linn
county's quota has been fixed at
1886, $50. The county in the second
Liberty Loan had $780, 500 for its
minimum; the target was $467 800;
the actual subscription totaled $283,
500; and was taken by $50 sub
scribers.

day afternoon. Miss Anna Ransom
gave the lesson. Mrs. Foreman the
mystery box. Mrs. J. L. Burke,
detained at home on account of
sickness, gave a reading by proxy
from the World Outlook" and
sent a report. The Laclede auxili-
ary was on the honor roll and
$14.00 over the top, showing that
though other demands are great
our people are remembering the
missionaries whose salaries at
present only go half as far as be-
fore the beginning of the war. At
the close of the meeting refresh
ments in keeping with the war
time spirit were served by the
hostess, assisted by Miss Amber
Montgomery.
