DRIVE ON IN
ESMERALDA
COUNTY


started in Goldfield and Esmeralda
county this morning on a long road
to the county quota of %s15O,00O.
w. d. Foster, traffic manager
and superintendent of the Tonopah
& Goldfield railroad, gave cheering
news to the campaign workers early
this morning when he announced
that the railroad would purchase
$4,000 worth of bonds, of which
this county will receive a major
share.
This was the best news of the
first day of the drive, as being as
sured of this big boost at the start
of the journey toward a goal Of
$4,000 is something that will en-
courage everyone in the county to
a hope that Esmeralda will raise
the quota, large though 1t is, con-
sidering present conditions.
The county council of defense
and block captains met last night
in the court house and plans for
promoting the loan were made. No
honor flags will be used in the
county in this campaign, the necess-
ity for towns reaching fixed quotas
being in this way avoided. Sub
scriptions will. be solicited the same
as in the Third loan and it was de-
cided at the meeting last night that
the women captains should receive
credit for all subscriptions, as it
had been proven in the past that, in
general, most Of the soliciting had
been done by them.
According to an announcement by
Judge ]. Emmett Walsh, director
of the county council, l.. A. Glib
bons, a Reno attorney and the head
of a speakers committee for the
loan in this state; H.. A. Lennon,
director of the state council and
campaign manager for the loan, and
Rev. Brewster Adams of Reno, will
be in Goldfield on a speaking tour
of the state during the course of
the drive.
The Esmeralda county quota for
the fourth loan is $150,0O0, as
against $4,000 for the third loan,
which resulted in $139,70O worth of
bonds being sold in the county.
The state quota is $~5,O33,S5O, as
against $1,S7O,OOO for the first loan,
$2,S6S,S5S for the second and 3d.
$50 900 for the third. In other
words, the state is asked to sub
scribe nearly as much in the fourth
loan as in the second and third
combined. In the third LOAF the
state raised $4,793,400, or $2,216,-
95S more than the quota.
The amount to be raised in the
Nation is $4,000. 900, 900, of which
o. per cent, or 100000, 900, is
charged against the twelfth federal
reserve district, of which Nevada is
a part.
Up to noon today 81 applications
