The government partial payment" plan Is being adopted by many Of the cities and towns througAeH the Eighth Federal Reserve District for handling the Third Liberty Loan. which starts April 6. Committees have been appointed in several cities to work out details in connection With the plan. It Is thought that no form of subscriptions to be used in the sale of the bonds will reach anything like the aggregate number of subscribers who will take advantage of this meth cd of purchasing.
 In St. Louis a committee of bankers has been active shaping arrangements so that purchasers of these bonjs will have the privilege of buying them on weekly installments.
 F, O. Watts, president Third Ma tional Bank of St: Louis and chairman of the Metropolitan Committee of the Liberty Loan Organization for the Eighth Federal Reserve District, is highly enthusiastic over the plan.
 During the previous loans, Mir. Watts said, there were approximately 3S,00o subscriptions in St. Louis which were taken on weekly installment plan, but in his opinion that city ought to have 13S,000 subscribers to the weekly payment plan. That 5 the goal set by the present committee for the Third Liberty Loan Bond issue.
