~ fail to understand why Grady
county hangs back on putting up
this Third Liberty Loan quota" said
f. L. Slusher this morning, as he
scanned the reports from town and
county, showing that Grady is yet
short $4,000.
ut seems that everyone should un-
derstand that the quota must be put
up" continued Mr.. Slusher. every
one is busy, but the longer this thing
drags out, the longer the Liberty
loan campaigners, including precinct
and city chairmen, solicitors and
workers in general will be kept away
from their business Also, the soon
en the Grady county quota is raised,
the sooner conditions will settle back
to normal, allowing everyone to go
ahead with their general routine Of
work.
"I certainly hope that it will not
be necessary in Chickasha and Grady
county TO adopt the decisive meas
ures that are used in some places,
THAT is, hope that it win not be
neeesse Tor rs 10 simplv close tha
doors Of business houses and Off
ces and keep them closed until the
quota is subscribed We could drag
through the next week at the rate
we are going and about make it by
Saturday night, but why take SO
much time about it? j want every
one to realize this and come on up
With this quota 1t must be raised
ard it's going to be raised if it takes
decisive action and unpleasantness
to do IT,"
TO Minco goes the laurel wreath Of
going farther over their quota than
any other point in the county. Ac.
cording to reports received by Mr.
susher this morning from Ed Bond
at Minco, that town had, up to this
riorning, subscribed $4,000, which
is $ll,90o more than their quota.
The efficient organization at Minco
is given as the answer for their sue
cess. The workers operated in pairs
each team having been supplied with
list Of names OF persons upon
whom they must call Each team
was held responsible for the people
sn their lists
I'VE will absolutely not have q
Stacker card to turn in," said Mr.
Bond in his report while we are
far over our quota at this time, it is
cur purpose to double it. = This, be
lieve we viii do When the work
ers have finished ! do not believe
that there will be a half dozen homes
il the north end of Grady county in
which there is not a Liberty bond
According to the reports in the
hands of the county chairman this
morning, Grady county cut down the
shortage S50,1O0 in the drive yester
day, but the campaign managers al
this time refuse to state that they
can see the quota in sight. The
shortage, sS2,2OO, looms as quite a
stumbling block in the road to ul-
innate success.
The largest subscription reported
Up to date, is from Grady county
Officials purchased $4,000 worth OF
bonds from the public funds
Another precinct that has made a
splendid record, is Naples. Reports
from this fiace show that they have

ed their subscriptions about $1,000
yesterday. bringing the total up to
