l., had been women members of the

Tree. He said he did not know what .
was going to be Carter county's .
quota in this coming loan, nor what
would be that OF the state; that ii
was not known what it was going
TO he for the nation and even that
would not be known until the
amount OF revenue that may be OBJ
tained could be determined but he
thought it would be between five
and six billions. He said he had been
TO Oklahoma City conferring with
the leaders engaged in the work and
he learned that allowance would be
made for the effect OF the drouth in
the several localities where the peo-
pie had been hard hit and they had
been furnished data as to the drouth
in this county. He said the loan
quotas would be based on bank de
posts and where the drouth had
been bad, there might be reduc-
ton OF 20 per cent and perhaps an /
additional 10 per cent and it might
be reduced 40 per cent. He said in ,
some districts it might be much less

were some in the middle who hod T

Carter county who owned $S00,000
worth of Liberty bonds.
The Quota Cards.
Mr.. Johnson explained how cards
would be sent to the committeeman, d
Ia card for every man in their district, v

cred now, but for the fact that three :
banks in the western part OF tn, :,
county had not turned in their re-
ports and the estimates could not be
made until these were received.
I'VE know what each one has
subscribed" he said, "and from al
that cannot be disputed.
THE card you will receive will have
on it the amount each one bought in
the first. second ar : third loans, and
YOU three men will assess what you
believe he should subscribe this time.
That is presented 10 him. He may
think you have assessed him 100

trdmore to which he can come. and,
i he can, show cause why he should
hot be asked to subscribe that much.
