To Record Subscription.
The following letter has been sent
90 each county chairman by John p
Baer, chairman OF the Committee OF
Accounting and Delivery
"As heretofore, the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond will send to eact
banking institution or bai.k in the
State postal cards upon which sub
soriptions are to be reported both To
the Federal Reserve Bank and to the
Liberty Loan Committee for Maryland
In previous campaigns quite number
of the institutions have overlooked the
Importance Of sending such reports to
the State Committee; in the coming
campaign publicity will be given each
day to the subscriptions from the city
and from each individual county and
Il is therefore necessary for each bank
TO send daily a report OF its subscrip-
lions as forwarded to the Federal
Reserve Bank OF Richmond If the
institution fails to do this It naturally
follows that the county or city will
not be given its proper rating in the
public press or wherever the figures
may be displayed. AS chairman oil
your county / would ask that you take
this matter up with each banking insti
tuition of your district and impress
upon them the Importance Of forward
ing these duplicate cards to the Lab
orty Loan Committee of Maryland"
There will be q general meeting OF
the county chairmen and district lead
ers of the Woman's National Liberty
Loan Committee on FRIDAY, September
Goth. at 1890 A. NJ. at Council of De.

the coming campaign will be discussed.
Ex-Governor Phillips Lee Goldsborough
will address the meeting at IL o'clock.
