FLOATING OF
VICTORY LOAN
Wide Distribution Of Fifth Issue, but
Sales are Smaller, is Report
Received To-
day.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON April 22.-Wider
distribution of the Victory loan than
its four predecessors was indicated
today in first reports to the treasury
officials from small communities.
Sales, however, were smaller.
Distribution is what treasury heads
want, believing the greater the dis
tribution. the less the resale after
the campaign closes, hence flrmer
bond market. ~
Hard work, however, will be
necessary to float the Victory ISSUE"
This was the message telegraphed
federal reserve district and state
campaign leader today. 1t resulted
from overnight word that the first
days work lacked pep" kilograms
received over night were not encour-
aging. While small communities re-
ported as nearing their quotas, the
former inclination to Grow" over
the accomplishment, was lacking.
Determination, however, of the
treasury not to accept oversubscrip-
tons may have had something to do
with this, it was said.

All music lovers will thoroughly en-
JOY the programs whcih will be pre-
sented here by the Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra next Monday.
Mr.. Oberhoffer, the poet conductor
CT this justly celebrated orchestra, is
a mastor builder of programs. He has
a unique talent for getting together
compositions that, each highly relia-
able, make an exquisite whole, with
out ever repeating himself in his many
musical menus.
The programs he has arranged for
keokuk are evidences of this ability
They present variety and interest,
both in composition and in the num-
Der OF participating artists, such as
has seldom been offered by any or
cbestra which has visited Keokuk.
The. afternoon program is in every
respect equal to that Of the evening
concert, and yet the one forms such
a delightful contrast to the other that
music lovers will be unable to choose
between them
The Music club is glad that It is
able to make the price OF both con-
certs so reasonable that both may be
heard for less than the usual price of
one concert.
The orchestra appears in Burlington
on Sunday afternoon and the Chicago
symphony will be in that city in May.

Reasons of the Loan.
Mr.. Sheriff said in part:
I'VE are asked to subscribe for
this Victory loan because the spend
ing of the money by the government
which it now asks us to furnish with
which to pay the debt, has saved the
lives of more than 100000 American
boys since the armistice was signed
That is one reason why we should
buy these bonds happily.
Another reason why you should
buy them freely Is because you will
never again be solicited to buy such
bonds in great nationwide cam
paign. This will complete the war
campaigns.
High Glass Security.
These notes run for short period
only, they carry a high rate OF in
terest and are secured by the
greatest government in the world
From business standpoint they are
the best proposition offered by any
government since the civil war.
my message to you people is to
buy these bonds because you are
joyed at the termination Of the war
and the return of the thousands OF
boys who might have been sacri-
feed"
