Luna county started Wednesday
morning to sell S423,OOO worth Of
liberty bonds Of the fourth 'oan. Al
nine o'clock all the whistles in town
blew a prolonged blast and few
moments later the force Of bond
statesmen under County Chairman J.
A. Mahoney and City Chairman Phil
Mclaughlin were under full steam
and the bond campaign was under
way. The results OF the first days
actual work was such that both
chairmen predicted that the quota
viii be raised. 1--WE mustn't get the
idea that the quota is too large,'
said Mr.. Mahoney, I'VE must just get
to work and meet it, no matter what
1t Is. We can do il and We will do t."
Three auto loads Of workers, men,
bers Of the bond committee, visited
Columbus Monday and brought back
the good news that that city will un-
dertake to raise $4,000 as their part
Of the county quota, This is a far
larger pro rata than was asked Of
Columbus in the last loan, when they
assumed 81, 800 Of the, $2ll, 800 as
sessed against this county. On the
same ratio this time their part would
be $4,000. That they undertook
without quibble or question to pro-
duce more than double that sum this
time is greatly to their credit, and
they can be depended upon to raise
It too. J. R. Blair is in charge Of the
campaign there.
The total sales at 3 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon was something
more than $6e,00O, since which time
that sum has been approximately
doubled, making about third OF
the quota.
Those in charge Of Che campaign in

Hondale, +. J. Buriwick; Gage, F. s.
