With the exception of one minor
change and with two additions the

and the provision that a resident of
the District of Columbia to be eligible

DR.. Starr Parsons. chairman of the
committee which met last night, said
that in case no funds are available
for paying salaries of officials to help
in the actual polling of votes, there
are probably enough public-spirited
citizens who will offer their services
free of charge to fill these positions.

serted last night that the following
paragraphs clear UP any doubt as to
the ability of the District Commits

The two white men receiving the
highest number of votes. together
with the co!ored woman receiving
the highest number of votes. shall
serve for three years; the white male
and colored male and the white
woman receiving the next highest
number of votes shall serve for two
years; the other three receiving the
next highest number of votes shall
serve for one year"
Fill Vacancies by Election.
This paragraph is held to dispose
effectively of the question of con-
tinuity of service for board members,
Elections will be held each year as
vacancies occur. corresponding in sex
and color. SO that the composition of
the board in this regard shall remain
unchanged. In case of vacancy in
the personnel of the board by death

the next highest number of votes.
Such certification shall be done within
thirty days of the time the vacancy

MICHIGAN WAS THE
FIRST STATE TO
SUBSCRIBE QUOTA
PEOPLE REALIZE GOOD INVEST
MENT AS PRESENTED IN THE
BONDS OF VICTORY LOAN.

Michigan with a quota of $110,925,-
900 for the Victory Liberty loan did
itself proud by exceeding its quota
the first day of the drive. By so do
ing it made a name for itself of be-
ing the first state in the nation to Sc
cure its quota.
AS Michigan is leading the states
in the amount of subscriptions secured
relative to it's quota, so Detroit is in
the van Of the big cities of the coun-
try. With subscriptions of approx
imately $80,000,000 and the campaign
still going, the Michigan metropolis
is setting final record for the final
lean which~it is doubtful will be APP
preached by, any city of magnitude
in the country.
Many of the other big cities and
populous counties of the state have
also established magnificent records,
showing that in the hearts of the peo-
pie the Victory Liberty loan is at one
and the same time a Victcry and a
Thanksgiving loan.
With all of the splendid work Of
the big cities and the counties that
have already registered their vote of
gratitude for the work of the govern
ment of the United States, and their
appreciation of the noble work of cur
army and navy there is to be no let
up in the campaign until the last day
Of the campaign.
Leaders of the loan organization for
Michigan not only are not relaxing
their efforts fer single moment, but
are preparing to go ahead with re-
newed energy and determination I'M
til not only every county in the state
has secured the quota assigned to il,
but until every township as well is
over. The determination is to make
the final war loan campaign Michi-
CANS unanimous Endorsement Of the
work of the nation. In spite of big
subscriptions which have helped put
the state over, the loan is to be pop
ular and it is expected to have the
distribution record the best of any
loan.
