Optimism Prevails Among
Workers as Loan Gets In
Full Swing Here
S. U. CABLE PLEDGE SIS, 900
c. Pardee Gives $50, ,000--
liens B. & L. $4,000 More--
Yesterdays Total $161 $50

With a total of subscriptions of
t1.220,600 actually entered on the
books of the Fourth Liberty loan, II
was estimated this morning that
ss1,500 must be subscribed here ev-
cry remaining day OF the campaign
for this city to reach the quota.
The total subscriptions yesterday
amounted to $161,350, large portion
of which come from the subscriptions
of the Standard Underground Cable
Company for $4,000 and OF the C.
Pardee Works for $4,000, as we'll as
an additional subscription from tho
Citizens Building and Loan Associa-
ton for $4,000.
The daily quota of ss1,500 must be
reached in the remainder of the
three weeks campaign. and that Will
mean an added spurt on the part OF
the campaigners who ara out with
every hope that this city will more
than reach the allotted quota. But 1T
is going to require a great deal OF ef-
5 for on their part to make certain the
honor mark for the city. The largest
and most easily obtained subscrfp-
tons are already turned In, and the
remainder of the quota must largely
be raised by the smaller individual
pledges. 1t Is to this end that the
canvassers and committees are driv-
ing, with the fulfillment of the city's
duty as their goal.
But there Is nothing but optimism
among the executives charged with
the success of the loan here. They
feel certain, dead certain. that the city
J will again pass the high water mark
md when the campaign closes will
ave far surpassed the quota. This
mas been the case In the other three
loans and they are sure that 1t will be
the same with the current drive.
There are q great many subscrip-
NJ x.In
made so far which the committees
and teams have not reported and will
not report for several days. These,
1t is believed, will amount to huge
sum.
The subscription of the cable works
includes the corporation subscription
as we'll as the loans of employees of
the plant. The $4,000 of the Citi-
gems b. g. l.. Association Is additional
and makes a total subscription from
the association of $4,000 to the cur
rent loan.
Many of the best organized and
most efficient teams have still to re-
port their returns to the committee,
including the Danish and the Italian
organizations. The latter will not re-
port their success until after their
mass meeting and demonstration in
the high school on Sunday, October
IS. The Danish organization has been
ceaselessly at work canvassing among
people of that race and they expect
to make a very commendable report
later on. Other such teams are still
waiting before giving the result of
their canvass and when all are turned
in, 1t is almost a certainty that they
will have very excellent reports.
