AREONA'S QUOTA FUR NEXT IT
 LIBERTY LOANS EIGHT MILLION
State Campaign Leaders of Arizona Give Details With
 Regard to Campaign to Be Made Here In October

Some time in october the fourth Liberty loan will be floated. It is es- timated that the amount will approXi- mate sS,OOO. 900 and the quota for Arizona will be somewhere about $S,- OO0,00O. A conference to discuss the plan of campaign was held in San Francisco Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Arizona was well repre- sented at this meeting, at which were gathered delegates from all the states in the twelfth federal district, which include California, Washington. Ore son, Utah, Idaho. Arizano, Nevada Hawaii and Alaska.
 The delegates from Arizona were H. J. McClung. state chairman, Liberty loan campaigns: D. A. Millet, assistant state chairman, third Liberty loan; John Northcutt, assistant chairman, Maricopa county, third Liberty loan, and Harry Welch, secretary, liberty loan campaigns.
 Better and more complete organiza- ton has been growing out of the diff ferent campaigns and the organization which now exists in the twelfth fed eral reserve district is believed to be the equal of any organization in any federal reserve district in the country.
 The meeting recommended econo- mics in campaign methods and in the issuing of printed matter and supplies It has been found from experience that states can issue their own printed matter with greater economy than by fnr al nf a a c h. ington and distributing it throughout the various federal reserve districts and again through the several states in each district.
 A suggestion was made that the number of posters be limited both as to quantity supplied and as to the variety of posters. A few striking posters judiciously distributed will ac- complish the desired results. was the opinion of every delegate present.
 Some of the delegates wanted to do away with the $50 bond, but this was voted down after an argument by rep resentatives of all the states.
 An interesting method of recording the decision on any matter was fol- lowed. After the subject under con- sideration had been discussed at length, the chairman would call for a
 
 the votes were recorded and the deci- sion was in accordance with the votes as cast. This gave each state an equal right and was appreciated by all.
 While the amount of the fourth Lib erty loan will be practically double that of the third, it will not require that each state in the twelfth district raise double the amount that was se- cured from the third loan. Most of the western states raised a very large amount over and above their quota during the third Liberty loan drive. In the case of Arizona, this amount would be almost sufficient to handle the fourth loan.
 The meeting appreciated the splen did cooperation of the newspapers ir donating a large amount of publicity and advertising and of those mer- chants who subscribed to the advertis- ing fund in each city. It was sug- gested that the advertising of the loar was a legitimate charge and the rec 1mmendation was made by the meet ing to the officials in Washington that provision be made for fund to adver- .se the fourth loan.
 It was thought best to continue the house to house method of campaigning and from many delegates present il was learned that the councils of de fense in their states have prepared card index lists of all citizens for th' use of the Liberty loan committees il their respective territories.
 Much stress was laid upon the i'm portance of having more frequent ano more important meetings and gettt! the soldiers and sailors who had see1 actual service, to return to this coun try and address these Liberty loal gatherings. The speakers bureau vii take up with Washington the matter o having soldiers and sailors on hand fo this purpose.
 The splendid part taken by the farm CTS in the third Liberty loan drive wa brought out very forcibly by the chair man of the farm division, Dr. Lively The doctor believes that the farme will play a still more important par in the success of the fourth loan.
 Many delegates told of the splendi results following patriotic parades il the larger cities. They were all yer much interested in the parade whic had been held at Phoenix and whic was carried out at an expense of s; They all wanted to know about tn "Three-Dollar Parade" When the learied that 10000 people marched il the parade they were more than en .husiastic.
 The San Francisco Commercial clu entertained all the delegates at lunch con on Wednesday and again O. Thursday and on Wednesday evenin Governor Lynch of the federal reserv district was the host at a dinner a he Pacific Union club. which all tn delegates attended and the evenin was given over to informal discussion of the loan and the war. All of thos who were present at this interestin occasion will always remember tn valuable inside information and idea which were advanced.
