Marshall county Went over the top
on it's liberty loarfin one day, Friday.
and il is more than possible that it
will be the first county in Iowa and
posi- bly, in the United States TO sell its
bonds in this drive. All Of the bond
subscriptions have not Yet been signed,
but so nearly all Of them have that 1t
is assured the stragglers can all be
sold to their allotments.
Eleven precincts outside Of Mar
shalltown are over their allotments.
with from $1,000 TO $4,000 to spare and
the city has actually subscribed within
1900 of its allotment and can easily
finish from the sales to those who
failed TO show up at the bond polls yes
terday. OF the twelve outside precincts
not yet over nine have not reported
and three have reported sales within
s 900 20 $4,000 of their full allotments.
Marshall county will sell its full allot-
ment of s1,S19,760 in this fourth lib
erty loan.
The Marshalltown precinct is losing
some Of it's credits today by transfer
of sales already made TO the
credit of the townships in which
the land OF retired farm owners is To-
Gated. This will add $4,000 TO $4,000
more to be sold in the city but there
is enough in tire unsold allotments TO
produce the required amount.
State Center Shouts.
State Center is shouting with en-
thusiasm having sold $4,000 in bonds
TO one man, Fred Terrence. a retired
farmer, whose allotment was only $500,
sales of 1920, 900 toward a precinct
quota of sl1S,lOO and more yet to
come in.
With this one exception the sales in
all precincts will run very close to the
quotas given. because people for the
most part bought what they were asked
to buy and the allotments to individuals
were very carefully made. No large
oversubscription for the county can be
expected. but the state chairman is
delighted. c. C. ST. Clair. county chair
man, received the following telegram
from c. II. McNider in Chicago today:
Sincere thanks and congratulations
on your great achievement. It's
glorious. You are a worthwhile SOL
