Tucurncari

in the Fourth Liberty Loan by about
200 per cent. The quota for this coun-
ty was originally announced as $780,
500. and with characteristic patriotism
| the county committee determined to do
even more than had been asked by
the government. With the total sub
scriptions still somewhat incomplete,
| it is certain that at least $lG5,O0O was
subscribed Then comes word that
| the original quota was incorrect and
that it should have been only $S3,50O.
Naturally Quay county is eated over
| the fact that it has almost doubled its
quota.
| The credit for the success of the
campaign is due to Mrs Earl George
] and Mrs j. d, Gresham, chairman
and wee chairman, respectively, of the
womuCs committee, and f. c. Beebe,
county chairman of the mems COM
mittea. They labored both day and
night fro mthe beginning until the
end of :Se campaign and visited prac-
ticaIly every point in the county per-
| sonally.
Officers and members of the Cham
| Der of Commerce lent their aid to the
| fullest measur whenever the occasion
| demanded. j. L. Clayton, secretary of
| the Chamber of Commerce, attended
| the district conference at FL Paso and
| also was with the local committee in
| its county wide drive at Quay, Nor
ton and Plain. He addressed the
meeting at the latter place. Paul A.
James. director of the Chamber of
Commerce band, attended all of the
meetings held in the county and di-
rected the music for the various oc-
casicns. Oscar Sundusky was most
excellent song leader at all meetings.
Among others who should be men
toned specifically are Y. A. Muir
head, NJ. b. Keator and J. u. iGresham,
who untiringly presented the matter of
the Liberty Loan in various addresses
to the people of the county. And
lastly should credit go to that large
number of people who so willingly
subscribed for bonds. They carried
the county "over the top"
