loan managers here announce that they
have worked out a scheme whereby
they hopt to obtain almost all OF the

Every person in the county has been
tabulated along with his or her earn

figures In hand, the committee has APP.
portioned the amount Of bonds that
each should buy, taking the averages
of the first two loans as their base fig
ures. Each person will be called an

at least.
While no actual work has been done
towards the subscriptions yet. it is
known that many persons have called
on the chairman of the board and sig.

full allotment, and in some cases more.
Public sentiment is favorable to the
allotment plan, and indications are that
very few persons will have the hardi-
hood to refuse to buy the amount for
which they are set down.
