BUT NE-SIXTH
 COUNTY QUOTA|S PREACHED IN LOAN
Second Week Of Campaign Opens With Redoubled Efforts To Wake Up People To Critical Situa- ton Facing Them

With barely one sixth of the city and county quota gained, and approximately but one tenth of the state quota sub scribed. the second week of the Victory loan campaign opened yesterday with a general speeding up of work at headquarters and the realization that something must be done to prevent Phoenix and Maricopa county from staying in the stacker class.
 Seven working days of the Victory loan campaign have passed, and out of an allotment of $1S15000 for Mari copa county, but $322, 900 has been subscribed. Is it time that we wake up?
 Reports from all over the twelfth district show that the cities are tagging behind and the rural districts are coming through in good shape. Port land, Ore, is leading among the cities. with nearly 50 per cent of her assigned quota already subscribed.
 Meetings Every Night
 Radical methods must now be re- sorted to, to meet this iaggard spirit, which is holding up the progress of the Victory loan. One phase of this work to come is the "benzine board a com mittee of citizens who know Phoenix and the county thoroughly and the if nancial standing of the people of this section.
 These men daily sift down sub scripuOns as they come in and where he purchaser has manifestly failed to invest to a reasonable degree in keep ing with his financial standing, he will be quizzed as to his failure to do his duty.
 In an effort to hurry along the at tainment of the quota, a series of meetings, featuring music and stunts, has been arranged for the grandstand every night this week. Watch the papers for announcements of the evening program.

 This entire week and through Tues- day night of next week will be giver over to the endeavor to awaken Phoe- nix and Maricopa county to the fact that the quota is still far short of be- ing completed and that much fard
  work must be done before that state is reached.
