Seeking Subscriptions
The Liberty Loan Committee, after
auditing the returns of the SO cap
tains and 300 or more workers, an
nounced today that subscriptions to
the amount of $3S2,0OO had been re-
ceived for the Third Liberty Loan.
While the workers were making a
house to house canvass, the banks re-
ceived subscriptions of $l59,450, MAX
ing the total subscriptions to date,
$541 ,450. However, this does not in
clude the amounts subscribed by the
local employees of the Southern Pacific
Railway, the Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.. the Portland Railway Light
& Power Co., nor those from the en-
ployes of the Salem street Railway.
When these subscriptions are added
to those of the banks and liberty work
ers, General Steiner estimates that the
total subscriptions received up to date
will figure between $575 900 and $780,
600 The quota for Salem is $517 $50.
Workers are still out today making
the final canvass Of their districts and
up to noon had received subscriptions
amounting TO $l,5OO.
The organization which worked so
effectively on the Third Liberty Loan
will be continued with the same Of
ficers in general, ready for the loan
that will probably be called next
October.
In reference to the work about com
.pleted, General Steiner said: ''Tool
much credit cannot be given to the
private in the ranks, the workers who
gave their entire time towards secVr-
ing the subscriptions. In fact every
body worked with a vim and enthus-
iasm entirely unknown before in
Salem. And in addition to the patri-
otto workers, it must not be forgotten
that the people in general met the
solicitors with a smile and welcomed
them"
From the various captains comes the
report that it was the average wage
Garner who was eager to buy, even
when they had almost reached their
buying limit with the first and second
loans.
Credit is also given to the co-opera
ton of the Commercial club which did
good service during the entire drive.
