GARLAND COUNTY IN SECOND PLACE
STANDS NEXT TO PHILLIPS IN PASSING HER QUOTA IN
 LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.

Last night the local Liberty Loan organization received the first bull letin picturing the progress made by the counties of Arkansas in raising quotas in both dollars and in numbers of subscriptions There is contest between these counties for the privi- icge of naming a Transport and a Battle Tank These are shown on the Lul:etin just received and pie torially the counties are represented striving 10 pass the quota marks and to reach the highest percentage thus gaining the coveted privilage of nam ing these.
 On the Battle Tank photograph Hot Springs Is shown as one of the ten counties of the state that have passed their quotas in dollars. On the Trans port none Of the counties are repre- scented as having attained the quota line but Garland County is climbing the ladder inst a step behind Phillips county which seems to lie in the lead. Tonight's figures place the total mum Der of subscriptions in Garland Coun- ty at 2,077 which is several hundred behind the number of the Third Lib erty loan.
 The headquarters arc being main tained between Oliver Finnie Co. and he American Express Co. As there has been no intensive campaign made thcre are quite a number who have failed to subscribe. The committees will not get out to call upon these for several more days as tdus far the raising of Garland's quota has been voluntary and 1t is not desired to de- part from that spirit unless abso- luteiy necessary. If you have not made your subscription, call at the headquarters at once so that your name will be among those more than two thousand who voluntarily did their part
 The names of all subscribers are posted on the front windows of the headquarters Doubtless in the com piing of this list some errors have been made. some names omitted If you do not find your name posted there step inside and call attention to the fact and it will be corrected If your name Is not there because of failure 10 buy your bonds step inside and make your subscription and then your name will likewise be added It was planned to have some spec ial feature or Saturday which will be observed throughout the country to stimulate buying Liberty Bonds. Ow- ing to the influenza conditions that prevails throughout this section it will be impossible to have this meet ing. However, it is hoped that the citizens of Hot Springs will buy moro bonds on that day in keeping with the general plan that is nation wide, The Fourth Liberty Loan offers some exceptionally fine attractions t. dividend paying corporations and tc individuals that hold second and third loan bonds in excess of ten thousand
