II $9,300,000, the county's quota.
 "Double up; 3,000,000 to go; buy more bonds. ;
 That is the slogan adopted by the fourth Liberty Loan committee for the closing week of the campaign, and $3,0o0,0OO l is the sum that must be raised by next Saturday night to put Jefferson county over the top. After canvassing the situation yes terday afternoon, with reports of the two weeks work in hand, County Chairman Murray Brown, Field Mar shal J. Frank Rushton and their staffs, determined upon an intensely aggressive drive for the last six days, and every soldier in the allied armies and every worker in the Liberty Loan lcampaign, both men and women, will enter upon the new week with the one pupose in view-to raise $3,000,000 before Saturday night.
 Birmingham and Jefferson county have never yet been slackers in war work, and Liberty Loan campaign officials say they shall not be slackers this time; that all the world shall know next Sun day morning that they have put their 1 dollars behind the boys in France.
 DOUBLE SUBSCRIPTIONS When the workers start out tomorrow | morning they will retrace their steps or | the past two weeks. Everybody who has subscribed for bond will be asked to double his subscription. In this way only, it is claimed, can the city's ana the county's quota be raised. It will be recalled that the Third Loan was lit tie over $3,00000O for the county, whereas the Fourth Loan is for $9, ,300, 900, or about two and one-half times much. Each division of the allied armies will re- canvass it's sector and sound the slogan, Double up; three millions to go; buy more bonds" Another innovation hit upon and which is expected to arouse great deal of in terest and enthusiasm, is that of ring ing bells at street corners they will be rung at intervals of thirty minutes throughout the day and each time they will be the signal to ''buy more bonds"
 The travelling men of Birmingham, too, will join in the campaign tomorrow. Every member of the travellers organiZa- tions will line up for the great cause and hustle like the whole world rested upon their efforts. They are a great driving force and great results are ex- pected from their work. They will work in three divisions, with Gens W. R. Mabry and J. E. Robinson commanding the Travellers Protective association: Gens W. F. Brodges and George Plai- sance commanding the United Commer- caI Travellers. and Gens E. P. Kirkpat- rick and c. E. Abrams, commanding the Alabama Commercial Travellers associa- tion.
 TRAVELLING MEN
 The travelling men will both boost and sell bonds in Jefferson county, but in other counties in the Birmingham zone and throughout north Alabama they will boost and let the regular Liberty Loan workers do the selling.
