wering the call of the country by a
liberal over-subscription to the Third
Liberty loan. The campaign for sub
scriptions to the loan started last
week, and has been pushed in very
systematic manner. In some of the
districts the committees have COM
pleted their work, while in others the
work is not yet finished. The will
ingness with which people generally
have subscribed during the third
loan drive is proof that the Delaware
county people are loyal to the coun-
try and to the boys who have entered
the training camps, and the boys who
are facing shot and shell in the
trenches in France.

city OF Manchester Is nearly complete.

various districts have refused to take
the amount Of bonds allotted to them
by the allotment committee and
many have taken amounts of bonds

at least, $50 per cent OF the quota.
