RESULT OF THE DRIVE
Alexandria cover The Top" Nearly
s2OO.OOO in Sale of Fourth Liberty
Loan Bonds-There Were 4,l93
Subscribers Here

This city may we'll feel proud OF
the splendid showing made by her
citizens in the Fourth or last Liberty
Loan drive. Capt. Leo. ?. Harlow,
chairman Of the local committee, to-
day received the official figures show
ing the total sales made here dur
ing that drive and also the sales in
Alexandria.
Alexandria went away "Over the
TOP" in this drive. Her ap-
nortionment was S621, 800 and the
sales here amounted to SS0s,550 or in
other words exactly S1S7,250 more
than the allotment for Alexandria was
sold.
The figures as announced for Alex
andria based on population of 2O,oOo
which, of course, are entirely too
small, Alexandria having greatly IN
creased her population during the
past year are as follows:
Banking resources S4,142,0O0; ap'
pcrtionment, $621,3o0; amount sub
scribed, SS08,550; number of sub
scribers, 4,193; per cent of population
subscribing, 20.96; per capita sub
scribing subscriptions, S4O.45.
In Alexandria county, based on ar
estimated population of $4,000, figure
given are as follows: Banking re
sources, S235,OO0; apportlonmen
100000; amount subscribed, Sl24'
$50; number of subscribers, l,334
per cent of population subscribing
$50; per capita subscriptions, SS.2s
The report, however, shows, tina
Alexandria county far overscrlbed tn
amount given in by the banks IN
subscribers purchasing elsewhere.
The local committee, OF "hic
Capt. Harlow was chairman, deserve
unstinted praise for the fine shown
made in that campaign. All OF tt
members Of the committee worke
hard in this drive.
Alexandria in all previous can
paigns has "gone over the top" ar

throughout the war did splendid
