ended the quota of $675, 400, was far
exceeded, the sum total being as pre-
viously stated 100000. In these
four Liberty Loans the combined
quotas totalled $1,676,95O, which
amount was oversubscribed to the
extent of $579,450. The county also
went over the top in the sale of War
Savings Stamps, and rolled up a total
of $360,000. In actual gifts to the
inherent war activities the citizens of
the city and county have dug down
into their clothing and given a COM
b1ned total amounting to something
over $2,683,281.
1t is a grand record, one to be
proud of the rest of our days. And
another thing to be proud of is the
fact that there was not a Stacker
found in any part of the city or the
county. Everyone responded nobly,
and there was nothing of an objec-
tionable nature reported by the
workers at any stage of the cam
paign.
The following are the workers for
