COUNTY IN OVERSUBSCRIPTION; GLAS-
Cow WILL REACH QUOTA SATURDAY

Valley county will exceed it's quota
in the Victory Loan drive by a good
margin.
At the time of going to press eight
districts had been heard from, as fol-
lows: Genevieve, whose quota was
$500, subscribed $4,000; Nashua doub-
led it's quota of $45OO; Coleman sub
scribed $1,000, better than four times
it's quota; Vandalia doubled it's quota
and Hinsdale, Baylor and Oswego re-
ported oversubscriptions.
Glasgow has subscribed $27,45O,
leaving$5,05O necessary to make our
allotment.
DR.. G. H. Klein, who is town chair
man, has put on an energetic cam
paign and it is certain that his efforts
will put Glasgow over the top before
the end of the week.
Genevieve is the banner district in
the county, having subscribed nearly
eight times it's quota.
The eight districts heard from have
reported a total subscription of $48,-
100, 80 per cent of the county's quota,
and "a districts are yet to be heard
from.
For the first time in it's history the
United States government is going to
award a medal for civilian service
1t will be given to the volunteer work
ers in the Victory Loan drive.
The medals will have more than on
dinary value as souvenir Of their
war work. They are to be made from
German cannon captured by the Yanks
in the historic drive at Chateau
Thierry, which turned the tide of the
war against the Hun.
While the Victory loan is going
slowly in Montana, Norman B. Hotter,
state chairman, is confident that the
states allotment of $11, 100000 will
be subscribed and considerably in ad-
vance of the date set for the close Of
the campaign.
"Some of the larger counties of the
state have made no reports as yet, :"
said Mr. Hotter, "but l expect that
in the course of the next few days
.some of the big corporations will an
nounce their subscriptions and look
to see things move more rapidly then.
montana is in good shape and the
unusual attractiveness of this issue,
bearing ga per cent interest, is go
ing to appeal to investors from a bus
mess point of view as much as from
the patriotic standpoint"
The town of Wibeaux reported to-
day it has raised it's allotment, which
was half that of the county. The out
side districts have not been heard
from. Sweet Grass county has rails
ed third of it's allotment.
Washington, April 24.-Subscribers
to Victory Liberty loan notes are en-
couraged by the treasury to buy reg
istered instead of coupon notes to
eliminate danger of theft or loss. In
explaining this today, treasury Off
cials said the desire of the treasury
to issue registered securities wher-
ever possible was emphasized in this
loan because the registered notes car
nv one interest coupon for the Decem-
ber payment, thus saving the treas
ury the expensive routine of sending
out interest payment checks at that
time.
Unofficial reports show that most
subscriptions so far have been for
coupon notes which may be converted
later to registered securities. Most
subscriptions appear to be for the
4 ga per cent partially exempt notes
rather than the 3 ga wholly exempt
securities.
National loan headquarters today
undertook to ascertain whether Mlchl-
gan or Iowa had first subscribed Of
ficially their respective quotas. On
the face of unofficial returns this hon
or appeared to go to Michigan.
The Cleveland district with 81 cities
and towns passed their goals today
and appeared to be leading all other
federal reserve districts with number
of communities with this record. The
district total sales were estimated in
excess of $SO,OOO,O00.
More than two-thirds Of counties in
Oregon have subscribed their quotas
and the state was trying to achieve
100 per cent today.
The Victory ship Marblehead was
reported today at San Diego, Calf.
From there the U. S. S. Crane will
complete the race to New York with
it's speed determined by the nations
subscriptions.
