is over
BOND QUOTA and
STILL GOING STRONG
Subscriptions Are Still Com
ing In To Swell the Great
Patriotic Response

With Third Liberty Loan subscrip-
tons totaling more than $517,8OO Salem
went over the top yesterday evening
with a few hundred to spare. This is
the first time Salem has topped the
top.
Today, the central committee is re-
Giving subscriptions running from 800
to $4,000 each, and as one committee
man remarked, it looks as if Salem was
doing its best to make up for its other
two failures.
Today the greater number of the
teams and captains are out, making a
complete of their districts, that
lone may be overlooked. The result
of the week IS work will be tabulated
this evening. Captains declare that
the mere fact that Salem is over its
quota will have nothing to do with
their work. They will continue until
every person in Salem and vicinity has
been approached and given the oppor-
tunity to subscribe.
Turner, that had a rather hard time
with the first two loans, now comes to
the front with flying colors President
Gray of the Turner State Bank reports
that his town has gone over with such
a lush that today the subscriptions
amount to $1,000, while the quota was
$500.
According to reports received at the
Portland state headquarters the fol
percentage standings were re.
ceived: Monitor 300, Falls City 280,
Jefferson 2S9, st. Paul 219, Stayton
1l6, Turner liz per cent.
General Steiner is SO well pleased
with the hearty cooperation of his
captains and workers, that the present
organization will be maintained and all
records filed, ready for the Fourth
Loan some time next October.
