are going to send our dollars 70 back
UP our boys at the front" This mes
sage was conveyed to the Maryland
Publicity Committee In Baltimore In
a telegram week ago. and since then
Frederick has been diligently at work
to fulfill its pledge.

entire quota of the loan and earned
the Honor Flag, but It Is known that
the best ucks are being hit by all of

Quota of $329.8O0.

I'VE have filled our quota, but have
not relaxed our efforts. We will try
TO double the quota"

at Baltimore last Monday, and when
she had finished her little speech an!
made an appeal for funds the audience

were principally In small amounts, 30
that the number of subscribers was
very large.
Down in Richmond on the opening
day of the loan the women's commit.
tee sold 1901 900 worth OF bonds.
In the first two days of the loan the
women OF Delaware sold 1000 worth
OF bonds.
In the town Of Virden, H., on the
nrst day Of the loan the women went
to work and carried the town over It's
quota entirely through their own ef-
forts. That shows just what live
organization in small community can
do.
On April 9th the women of HoQuaim,
Washington. sold $55,41O worth of
bonds.
In New Braunfels. Texas, the wom-
ems committee reports that the full
quota Of $124. 100 has been subscribed
and they are still pushing on. This
town subscribed only $7.150 to the first
loan, and $4,000 TO the second loan.
