this community that car can be
run seven days and seven nights IN
high gear without u stop, the over
land d-Harrisburg Company will re-
peat this test and go it one better.
1t is the intention to beat this world
record and to do so the car must go
4,371 miles, but Mr.. Hanson predicts
that it will make at least hundred
and fifty miles more than the Okla
homa car.
Mayor Is n Judge
The contest will be under the di-
rection of three judges headed by
Mayor Keister. The car to be used
is Overland model 80, No. 13S429.
1t has a gear ratio of 3.9 to 1, which
is the highest used in any stock car.
1t is standard equipped throughout.
The gear lever will be placed in high
gear Saturday evening at the start
by one of the judges, when the lever
itself will be taken out and the trans
mission sealed so that it cannot be
tampered with during the drive. The
car will be operated by four drivers

ing day and night for the entire sew
en- days. There will be an official OBJ
server in the car at all times. The
car will bear signs telling that it is
the car in the contest and will be
readily distinguished in all the towns
through which it will travel.
Telegraph Control Station
The Harrisburg Telegraph build
ing in Federal Square. will be the
control station where the drivers will
be changed every four hours, sup
plies taken on and the mileage made
recorded on large chart which will
be placed in the window in front OF
the Telegraph. This chart will show
the record made by the Oklahoma
car each day and Just what the Har-
risburg car is doing to beat it. A
large arrow will indicate the mile
age made each four hours.
The district covered by the IF
will include Chambersburg on the
west York on the south, Lebanon on
the east and Millersburg on the
north. There are some strenuous
hills to overcome on many of the
roads the car will travel 1t must
make at least 120 miles every four
hours in order to break the record.
Should the worlds record be
broken as Mr.. Hanson predicts. it
will be one of the most remarkable
feats ever accomplished in this dis
trict and will place Harrisburg on
the autom obile map as it has never
been before. The eyes of the dealers
all over the country are on this test
and its final outcome will be well
coined. as the hills and roads in this
territory are said to be as difficult as
anV in the country.

county and Perry county, both of
which Jagged in previous Liberty
Loan campaigns, went over the top
with colors flying in the Victory
| Loan. Both these counties bought
every bond they were supposed to
! buy, and then kept on buying-and
are still buying-so that when the
! final count is completed, a week from
now, the record of these counties
! will be n remarkable one.
| The trouble with Harrisburg in
the opinion of the leaders of the
campaign and the men who have
been selling bonds, is that the I'M
preston got abroad in some manner
that if the people themselves didn't
buy bonds, the banks would take up
the city's quota. This Is an errone-
Gus idea.
Banks Have Limit
The banks cannot take up this i'm
mense total, because every two weeks
each bank in the district is called
upon by the Treasury of the United
States to take up Il certain quota
of Treasury certificates. The money
raised through bond issues will not
pay the cost of the war. Because
this is so. it was necessary to pro-
wac lOT cCTldll duulllOlidl 0iiN
also for the issuance of United States
Treasury Certificates. The banks, as
stated, take these certificates every
| two weeks and will continue to take
them for year or two years 10
come. 1t is not possible for them 10
take their quotas of certificates ana
also the big Victory Bond quotas
allotted the various districts.
IF the people of Harrisburg Will
do their part" said City Chairman
Andrew S. Patterson this morning,
the banks will continue to take up
| Treasury Certificates. 1t is an abso-
lutte impossibility, however, for them
! to do both. ] mean that 1t is an
absolute impossiblity for them to
do both if they are to continue to
meet the requirements of the bust
ness interests of this strict. The
business interests must have money.
! If the money of the banks is tied up
not only in certificates but in Victory
| Bonds, then there will be no FUNDS
available for business purposes. That
would mean the closing down OF in
| dustries and loss of employment to
| thousands of people. You will see,
therefore, that this matter of taking
Victory Bonds is one which comes
to the door of each one of us. 1t is
not only a matter of patriotism, but
it is insurance against calamities
in business"
Wounded Men Active
Secretary Glass, of the United
States Treasury. has issued an or
der that the banks may not lift that
portion of a districts Victory Bond
quota which is not subscribed by the
people of the district.
The half dozen or more wounded
soldiers who have been working in
the Harrisburg district for the last
| two weeks were not feeling gloomy
over conditions this morning, for
the reason that every industrial es
tablshment in which these soldiers
spoke has bought more than its
quota of Victory Bonds.
