OKLA. GOES
ONE THIRD
FIRST DAY
State Rolls Up Big Portion Of Liberty
Bond Quota; will Go Over Top
This Week
Special to the Express.

Special to the Express
Oklahoma City, April S.-The state
Of Oklahoma, in great burst of pa
tiiotic demonstration, subscribed
more than thirty per cent Of its total
Third Liberty loan quota during the
first day of the campaign.
These statements are based on re-
turns from twenty-five cuonties re-
ceived up to midnight Sunday, direct
from county Liberty loan chairmen
by the state Council of Defense. The
total quota for the twenty-five coun-
ties reporting was $7,762,5OO. Sub
scriptions reported were $2,S32, ,250
with the rural districts yet to be
heard from in many counties. Six
counties OF tho twenty-five have al
ready exceeded their quota They
are Hughes, Okmulgee, Alfalfa, Otta-
wa, Kingfisher and Love. Chairman
Bowman of Kingfisher county re-
ported the sale of $4O4S5O with to-
TAI OF 2,S37 subscribers. The county
quota was $265,7OO.
Delighted with the report Moth
ing more, however, than we expect
ed" was the comment of ]. II. Cor
don of McAlester, staet chairman, on
being told of the first day results.
The state was literally blanketed
with patriotic demonstrations Satur-
day. In many counties all business
was suspended. More than seventy
speakers of state prominence were
sent out by the state Liberty loan
speakers bureau, some Of whim made
two and three speeches each.
In addition to this the bureau had
soven army officers and nationally
known men in the state, part of
whom are remaining through the
present week. In many counties meet
ings we're held in every school dis
trict on Saturday and Sunday with
speakers furnished through county
speakers bureaus. It is thought here
that Oklahoma will probably lead
tie nation in first day sales.

"The early storage of coal is not
only a necessary government require

administration has arranged these
reductions so that early buying is o
good business investment as well.
IT is hoped that every consumer will
lay in at least rs per cent Of his next

BILE moment so that railroad cars and
other equipment as well as the coal
may be released for government use.
"The state fuel administration will
not assume the same degree of re-
sponsibility the coming season that
it did last year for the reason that
consumers and dealers are now well
advised Of the extreme necessity for
storing coal and should make imme
diate provision for their next win

not be as favorable a month hence

that Chickasha will simply go at this

only reason the Chickaaha workers
