here yesterday announced an addifion

than its quota, and the rest of the
district 1922. 532, ,050, which is 25 ner
cent more than its minimum allotment.
Loan workers here yesterday reiterated d
their belief that the districts full re-
turns would surpass the billion dollar
mark and that the entire nation would
exceed the four billion dollar goal.
The men who planned the local. cam
paign and who followed its develop
ment in great detail expressed the be-
lief Yesterday that the estimate that
100000 persons in the Second Fed
eral Reserve District applied for the
bonds of freedom is conservative.
Tabulations from representative banks
tended to support this contention The
Corn Exchange Bank reported that it
had taken between 1876 900 and 145,OOO
subscriptions during the campaign, for
a total OF approximately 100000.
Of these 2S,850 were tabulated or Sat
urday and $1,000 NOR yesterday.
The Public National Bank took co.
600 subscriptions for a total of nearly
$4.OOO,000, and of these between 10000
and 10000 were entered on Saturday
The Irving National Bank estimated d
that 10000 subscriptions were filed
with it for approximately $12,O00.OOO
which is sufficient to fill the quota
allotted to the bank without counting
the bonds it may have taken for its
own account. The Chatham and Phe enix
Bank reported that it took 100000 sub
scriptions for about $1OO0O,0OO, and

and in other stores thrift booths were
placed near the entrance where no one
could miss them. Official figures of the
department store returns will not be

nounced that more than S1,S00 had been
sold in each place. Besides the booth
sales, customers were urged to accept
stamps as change.
At Bloomingdale's Third Avenue and
Fifty-nnth Street, one of the big plate
glass panes was removed and the show
window transformed into thrift booth
Pedestrians were thus able to step in

be distributed among the shops staging
the finest displays, has been postponed

titled the buyer to drive one nail in

HELPING SAVE THE
NATIONS CREDIT

This subject will be a special fea-
ture of the regular meeting of Gem
of the Mountain Circle, Neighbors
Of Woodcraft, at their meeting next
Friday night.
Our government is Threatened
with demand for a higher rate of
interest on the next war bonds issu-
ed. A demand is being made that
the size Of the smallest bond issued
be increased from $50 to $500. That
will put the chance for the little fell
low to loan direct to the government
that much farther away. Fifty dol
lars is already much too large to be
met by the weekly or monthly saw
ings of the average little fellow.
1t is different with the Thrift and
Savings War Loan. In it the savings
Of everybody can be used. whether
they are $50 or $500 or five cents.
Larger and larger and ever-in-
millions of the little fellows until
from that source the government can
get the use of all the money it needs
to borrow, is the answer to the at
tack on the credit Of the government
The Neighbors of Woodcraft have
enrolled and armed themselves tc
take up this fight on behalf OF the
credit OF the government.
