Victory Loan Drive.

The Victory loan drive which
opened on Monday of last week
appears to be progressing very
nicely all over the country. Many
localities are already over the
top with over-subscriptions, some
of them the very first day, and
communities that have not al
ready taken their full allotment
are fast nearing their mark.
Reports from all over South
Dakota indicate that the state is
not going to fall down on it's
splendid record of the past, but
will again not only take it's full
allotment, but more.
Grant county is not going to
be any exception in this respect.
Our county made highly record
in the previous loan drives and is
going to make good again. OF
this the committee in charge is
absolutely positive, and en-
phatically state that each person
will be required to take their full
allotment just as they were in
the previous drives. At present
the committee is busy checking
up the records of the various
precincts and making lists for the
use Of committeeman. These lists
will be in the hands OF commit
teemen by Friday or Saturday,
and any persons who have not
taken out their alltoments by
that time will be called upon to
do so or explain why. AS the
lists of the various precincts of
the county are not yet complete
we are unable to give the figures
of the precinct subscriptions to
date, so have to fall back on the
records of the banks of the coun-
ty for these figures, which fol-
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1919-05-02
$377,3OO.O0

This shows that the county is
still $4,000 short of coming up
to it's allotment. The amount to
be certified to precinct commit
teemen for collection, however,
is not as large as in the previous
loan drives. Here in Milbank on
ly about dozen persons with al
btments over $1O0 have failed to
take out their subscriptions, and
these men will doubtless do so
when called upon before the
week is out. Saturday evening
should find Grant county with
another 100 percent subscription.
The county allotment this time
is $42O,OOO while in the last loan
drive it was $604 900 and was
considerably over-subscribed.

Save Cash Revenuesl

II is understood that large and con-
servative interests have been advised
by banking circles TO conserve their
cash revenues Carefully in anticipa-
tion of a great competition expected
TO develop during the next few months
after the signing of peace treaty. This
Is said to be on account Of decisions
reached by the U. S. Steel people.
Thousands OF people all over the
country are waiting to buy good
stocks on reactions. according TO pri-
vate advices in large wire houses.
which have in many cases been rec
ommending tightening of speculative
loans to the point of protection against
professionals who are encouraged to
work bearishly at the moment by rea-
son of the realizing.
Candy profiteering is being used as
a point upon which the stock OF
sugar. companies and candy chain
stores should be bought In this con-
nection IL 10 recalled that the Tobacco
Products Company has been in nego-
tIation with the Loft people. High
prices for candy are beyond all rea-
son. prices having risen from 20 and
IS cents a pound to $50 and the profit
Is said to be very large.
A strong reason offered for specu-
lative interest in sugar stocks at the
present time Is the indication that
abandonment of booze will created an
abnormal appetite for sweets. and that
this will raise the price of sugar as
soon as a natural market prevails
throughout the world.
