committees are working with unflagging
enthusiasm and will keep in the field until

I'VE booked seven street subscriptions

pride. by street subscriptions l mean
those which came in voluntarily. Our

AT HEADQUARTERS
At headquarters of the Greater Bir-
mingham Liberty Loan committee on
Twentieth street, half a block south OF
the Tutwiler, there were announced
among other subscriptions not hereto
fore reported:
Massachusetts, Mutual Life Insurance
company, allotment for Birmingham,
$500; Wilson G. Co., allotment for Bir-
mingham, $1,000; Kress allotment for Bir-
mingham, $1,000; employees of the Burnett
cigar stores, $3.50.
A large quantity of third Liberty Loan
subscriber flags has been received at
these headquarters and are being dis
tributed. The flag is printed in colors
on enameled paper, on which there is
space for the name of the subscriber.
The purchase of a Liberty Loan Bond
In any denomination from $50 up entities
one to this beautiful memorial of pa,
triotism.
The allied armies, 1t is announced at
headquarters, will probably be called out
en- masse for a grand cleanup drive two
days in the early part Of next week. A
large proportion of the armies has been
at work all this week soliciting subscrip-
tons. And they are getting results For
instance, Gen. Bob" Brooke of the
French army stated yesterday afternoon
that he had $4,000 of new money to
turn in.
Troop 81 of the Boy Scouts is flooding
the city with the Cartoon Book gotten
up for the, third Liberty Loan by Amer
lean artists. As the name implies, the
book is full of cartoons, with Uncle Sam,
our boys and the Kaiser as the chief
subjects. When the average American
citizen has thumbed over this book he is
nearly ready to take off his coat and
sell it for money with which to make his
first payment on a Liberty Bond.
CAMPAIGN FEATURES
How colse the campaign is getting to
the nedrtS OF the people u birmingham
is shown in this little incident: Messrs
Toombs and Bromberg, of the British
army, in canvassng came to boarding
house managed by a woman of 80 years,
and partially paralyzed. She bought Il
Liberty Bond with cheerful alacrity and
asked the soldiers to call again on the
following day, she intended to per-
suade her daughter to buy bond. They
did, and sold the bond.
If such Is the spirit Of Birmingham,
who dares to say that Chairman Coffin's
sc. 100000 mark will not be reached? The
tide is rising every minute.
