THIS COUNTY MAY
Be CALLED UPON
FOR THREE MILLION

UmafiIIa county may be called
upon to take $4,000, 900 OF fourth
liberty loan bonds. In that cnse it
will mean approximately a million
each through the local banks and
another million from over the
county.
The quota for the county has
not yet been announced but the
impression IS out that the new
loan Will be two or two and a half
times AS large as the third liberty
loan. UmatiIia counfy's quota
then was S1,OfO,OO There Is a
chance this county may be rated
high because OF crop failures I'm
some other counties OF the state.
The government has disconfin-
ucd the sale OF the four and a half
per cent short time certificates
preliminary to the next liberty
loan but is now offering the four
per cent income tax certificates
