Yesterday they captured the first OF

Burleigh county will 60 at least 20
per cent over its quota for the Third
Liberty loan, County Chairman H. p.
Goddard announced this afternoon.
With an allotment of yl50,OO0, Bur
leigh already has reported bond appli.
cations totaling $lS9,350. OF this to.
tai, $157 1900, or more than the entire
county's quota, is credited to Bis.
marck. The county outside of Bis
marck already has reported $31,45O
worth of bonds sold and is expected
to sell at least $40, 900 more before the
campaign formally closes. Bismarck
is expected to take at least $4,000
more, which would make the total sub
scription for the county approximately
S215.OoO. When Wesley Mcdowell Of
Marion, state loan chairman, placed
Burleigh county's allotment at $780,
200. he expressed the hope that the
county might sell at least YAv0,00O
and burlelgh promises to excel his
.lopes by $4,000. '.
Some of the outstanding high lights
of the campaign in Bismarck are the
commercial travellers quota of more
than $4,000 and an Approximate to-
tai for the state capitol, which was ur-
usually we'll organized for this drive.
Another feature has been the wide
