Here Yesterday; Queens
Exceeds Quota

Total subscriptions for the entire
country at the beginning of the third
week of rugged campaigning for the
dollars of Liberty reached 81, ,490, 500.
The figures announced by the Treasury
Department in Washington last night
brought the record Of accomplishment
for thirteen business days within $780,
100000 of the schedule necessary to
fill the S3,000,000,0 900 minimum.
The mathematical summary of what
the people of the New York Federal
Reserve District are doing showed that
the deficit here compared with the
quota requirement is S7S,000,0
larger than that of the country con-
sidered as a unit. The unprecedented
speed in subscribing of the residents
of the Western districts is overcoming
the shortage recorded in New York.
While the Second Federal Reserve
District was slipping from a tie for
ninth place to tenth yesterday the st.
Louis and Minneapolis districts were
piling up vast stores OF the financial
munitions of war.
Unofficial advices asserted that both
these districts yesterday reached 100
per cent of theim quota. The official
figures, which do not include yester-
days subscriptions, reveal that, includ
ing last Saturday and the previous
days Of the campaign. St. Louis had
filled SO per cent of its quota and Min
neapolis. which started a week late, So
per cent.

In face or the record smashing
achievements of the Western commun-
tiles, the I'd Federal Reserve District
rapidly is losing its lead over it's rec
ord in the corresponding period of the
loan campaign last October. In thir-
teen days in the second drive only
$347 7,138,300 had been raised, but on the
thirteenth day Sal ,129,250 was raised.

tan, which has cared for only ii per
