W. L. Hemingway, State Chairman Gratified With Results of "vol.
 unteer Days."

Little Rock.-Arkansas' wonderful spontaneous response to the Govern ments call in the Fourth Liberty Loan again sent the State forging ahead in It's record for patriotic activities.
 Monday night 2S counties had re- ported a total of volunteer subscrip- tions aggregating s8,936,O0O, or more than third of the s23,S42,000 quota for the entire State. Telegraph wires throughout the United States carried news stories based on the record of voluntary subscriptions made by Ark ansas residents.
 Arkansas is leading" was the in. troduction to one news story carried by the Associated Press out of the St Louis headquarters. Taking into consideration that the $8,936,OOO con- st;tuted reports from only 28 of the 75 counties, w. L. Hemingway, State chairman, said he believed that fully s1S,000000 had been raised in volun- tary subscriptions.
 Seven complete counties and one dis trict of another went lover the top" on Volunteer Days, raising their full quotas without single subscription being solicited. The counties were Baxter, Cross. Greene, Lafayette, Mon- roe, St. Francis and Saline. The north half of Arkansas County also went over the top on the Volunteer Days. Virtually every county will be over the top by the last of the week.
 Little Rock and Pulaski County subscribed $3,O00,000 of their combined euota of s4,240,00o on the two days. There has been much speculation as to the quotas. The official report out Of St. Louis shows that they were vir- tually doubled when compared with the third loan, which was for only s3,000,- 100000. The State quota in the third loan was S15,000,o00; in this loan, .s23,- 842,000. Little Rocks quota in the third loan was $2,80o,o00; in this loan. S4,240, 900.
