Bank Of Colfax Ov-
er SubSclibes Parish
Quota Of Liberty Bonds

There will none of the needless
confusion on the part of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, of Dallas, in
termining whether Grant parish
subscribed its quota to the Third
Liberty Loan. as was the case of
Second Liberty Loan, for the
Bank of Colfax alone took SUBJ
scriptions to the amount of
$50. 10000, over-subscribing the
parish allotment by $17O0. 90.
1t can be said to the credit of
Grant parish in the Second Lib
erty Loan. that had the parish
been accredited with all the sub
scriptions originating from its
citizens, that loan would have
shown one. hundred per cent
subscribed.
