COUNTY WILL GO0vERT THE
TOP INLIBERTY LOAN drive;
$4,000 SHORT Of QUOTA

by telephone from its Denver office
that it would raise it subscription in
this county 5000. making its total
purchase of Liberty Loan bonds here
for the fourt issue $4,000
Concrete has exceeded all other pre-
cincts in the county in proportionate
subscription to the bonds by over
buying fully 100 per cent The good
news reached headquarters from
Rockvale today that it would measure
up to its responsibilities by taking
the entire $4,000 worth of bonds as
signed to its citizens.
Although the reports are encourag-
ing to the utmost degree and fore
shadow the success of the FOURTH Lib
erty Loan drive in Fremont county,
Maj. Cooper expresses the hope that
there will be no slowing down in the
work of the precinct captains and
heutenants until the entire amount
has been subscribed and Fremont
county is inscribed on the roll of
honor. The $4,000 yet to be raised is
considerable sum and will be much
harder to secure at this stage of the
game than 1t would be earlier in the
campaign
Fremont county's achievement in
the Fourth Liberty Loan has been \
splendid one, and when it is over
will be matter for congratulation
and rejoicing among its people. The
only regrettable feature of the cam
paign has been the small number Of
individual subscribers to the bond
ISSUE Up to noon today it was only
2.4ls- In the Third Liberty Loan
there were nearly 5000 subscribers

Who said Fremont county was a
Iaggard in the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive? Whatever assertions to that
effect may have been made a few
days ago must be taken back to con-
form to the facts in the case On
the home stretch Fremont county peo-
pie are doing admirably and give
promise of redeeming their reputa-
ton for liberality and faithful adher-
ence to the call OF patriotism
Up to 10 o'clock this morning there
had been turned into the banks by
the Fremont County Liberty Loan
army s32o.44o. In addition to this
enough money had been reported from
Denver to be placed to its credit and
from the precincts of the county to
bring the grand total of subscriptions
up to s4z6. 6.0co, or only $4,000 short OF
the county's quota of s4S5.250.
Since noon today several thousand
dollars unaccounted in the above list
have been turned in from the sale OF
bonds. leaving the amount yet to be
obtained by the canvassers practi-
caily $4,000.
At 8 o'clock this morning the six
precincts of Canon City with their ag-
gregate assignment of sIS0.400 had
gone over the top" and whatever is
subsequently raised will be an over
subscription Late last night the
three precincts of Florence with a
combined quota of $s7.400 were only
$500 short of their apportionmenf.
Along with this report came the good
news that the full amount would be
subscribed. The Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company apprised Maj Cooper

clerical work of his Office. no less than
its general executive and administra-
