VICTORY LOAN "eoEs OVER"

The Victory Liberty Loan drive
closed Saturday and it is estimated
$4,000, 100000 was subscribed,
thereby oversubscribing about one
and one-half billion of dollars. No
over subscription will be accepted.
Thus the final loan drive comes to a
close and the manner in which this
and all previous loans have been
over subscribed is nothing short of
marvellous, and shows conclusively
the patriotism of American people.
