THERE'S NO LOAN MAXIMUM;

IL PASO has done better with this third Liberty loan

him know that FL Pas0 was beyond the mark with its

L55erty loan He found when he reached here
the greater part of the task had already been accom-
plshed. That gratifying to him as It was to US.
He found that the raising Of the loan is at all
more vital 10 than is because he is secretary
Of the treasury Is IN charge Of the loan and that TO him
the government looks for the great funds necessary TO carry
the Except that his responsibility thus IS greater,
he Is more intensely interested IN the loan an the
humbest citizen who out Of saving and sacrifice, buys

uized the enthusiasm which animated this city.

only the larger subscribers those who have given $1,000
$4,000 or more because Of the limitations Of space they
recognize and the whole country recognizes that the $50

effort and as much or more patriotism than the $4,000

al the small purchases are not published along with the
large ones IS that they would III up the pages OF all the
