amounted to $565,9OO. Caddo county

In speaking of the campaign as a
whole, Chairman Donahue said, Got
ton and Harmon counties deserve
mention as having put over their quo
tas against the heaviest odds. Both
counties have had absolute crop fail
ures for two years and in the final
analysis, Cotton put up the largest
oversubscription while Harmon was
the first county in the district to
oversubscribe its quota. This county
went over the top on the third day
of the campaign.
Grady, Greer, Kiowa, Comanche
and Stephens have successfully sub
scribed their quotas in each of the
three Liberty loan campaigns. The
remaining counties in the fifth dis
trict, accomplished their quotas for
the first time in the Third campaign.
Jackson county in a whirlwind cam
raign by Lieut. Knight, Chairman Ell
lis. the Council of Defense and the
bankers of the county, raised hel
subscriptions from 100000 to SS4O,
600 and went over the top to the
cheers of the other counties in the
district"
District Chairman Donahue accred
its the oversubscription of the dis
trict to the organization that was be
hind the drive which, he states
brings the appeal of patriotism
