MAHASKA'S SHARE

MORE THAN DOUBLE CALL OF
THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.
lOMAASKED FOR sl47,sOO,OOO
Six Billion Dollars Asked BY Govern.
ment to Prosecute Its Gigantic
War MISUNDERSTANDING for
Subscriptions Start Saturday.

Mahaska county's apportionment of
the Fourth Liberty Loan is $1,546,20
The allotment of the Third Liberty
Loan in April was only 100000, so two
and one-half times as much money
is called for this time. But this does
not mean that 212 much money
must be raised, for in April Mahaska
county doubled her apportionment and
subscribed for practically $1,200,000
Therefore if the subscriptions made in
April are increased by about 20 per
cent the total amount asked for this
time will be forth coming All who
possibly can should double their sub
scriptions, as, the amount asked for
by the government is double any pre-,
vious loan.
Iowa Asked For s147, 100000.
Seventeen per cent of the seventh
federal reserve district quota of the
fourth Liberty loan has been allotted
to Iowa, making the quota for the
state, $147,000,O00.
Allotments for the current loan
are estimated at 60 per cent accord
ing to the assessed valuation of prop
erty not including moneys and credits,
sources and 20 per cent according to
population. This announcement was
made yesterday by John A. Cavanagh,
chairman of the state quota commit.
tee.
More Equitable Quotas.
Mr. Cavanagh said that an attempt
had been made to have the quotas at
least 50 per cent absolutely fair for
this loan. An allotment based on bank
ing resources as happened in the third
loan proved to be unsatisfactory in
Iowa.
! The total amount for the several
| federal district is S7O,OO0,O00. 1412
/ per cent Of the national fourth loan
! which it is estimated will be $4,000
| 600 900.
Iowa's quota in the first Liberty
loan campaign was $45,000,000. which
was $2023 per capita. The state sub
/ scribed only $30.74O,600, divided be
| tween 10000 subscribers. On the sec
ond Liberty loan issuance the states
quota was increased to $74,55O, 900. the
per capita rate being advanced to S33'

divided between 2SS.0S0 subscribers.
Per Capita Increased.
In the third Liberty bond cam
paign Iowa's quota was $71, 100000
which was $3194 per capita. The
state oversubscribed this quota heavily
! $4,000 subscribers taking bonds to a
total of $117.211 ,450, almost four times
the amount subscribed in the first
campaign. Altogether Iowa has bought
! $3.50, $685. 5O worth of Liberty bonds
which was $4O.O00,0O0 more than the
amount apportioned to it. In the last
drive eleven times as many lowans
bought bonds as in the first drive.
! Mr.. Cavanagh believes that with the
bumper crops produced this year Iowa
| is now in a better position to buy gov
eminent bonds than ever before. He
estimates the value of the crops in
| Iowa this year at round billion dol
| lars as compared with 1926, 100000

be plentiful for war purposes in the
