Liberty Bond Record.
A total OF s43,674150 has been
poured into the national treasury by
Idaho citizens through Liberty bond
purchases during four loans. Two of
them, the Third and the oFurth, were
floated in 1918. Much of the First
loan was taken up by the banks, and
there were few individual subscrip
tons The quota, $4,7OO,OOO, was OBJ
tanned without much effort The Sec
ond loan quota for the state was So
1886, 900, and this amount was exceed
ed by $1.665,550. 1t was raised par
TALLY through the banks and partially
through popular subscriptions. The
Third loan quota was $S,600,000, and
the state increased this sum by ST.
375, 450. There were S0,252 subscrib
ers to this loan. For the Fourth, the
number of purchasers was III, 645. For
this Liberty loan Idaho was allotted
quota OF $14,549. 4OO-the largest
heretofore given the state the bulk
of which was raised by small, indi-
vidual subscriptions
this last performance Of the people is
the fact that the loan was oversub-
scribed $2,345, 1850; the amount raised
being $16,S95,150 F. F. Johnson was
chairman and j. w. Robinson and E.
M. Hoover secretaries Of the First
Liberty loan committee. OF the Second
and Third, d. w, Davis was chairman.
Monte B. Gwinn was chairman of the
Fourth. E. M Hoover was secretary
for all three of the latter loans. Mr..
Gwinn and Mr.. Hoover are retained as
permanent members of the Liberty
loan committee for Idaho.
Thrift Stamps and Savings.
Up to December / the total sales of
War Savings stamps in Idaho, based
on maturity values amounted to $4,-
$4,000, according to Allen r. Eaton,
state war savings secretary. This
total includes both post office and fed
era reserve bank sales, The quota
originally assigned to Idaho by the
government was $9000,000; This
amount was changed to 100000 by
the state committee because of the
ton of 100000. whereas only 100000
Is the actual total made up from the
school census and election rolls. In
dications are that the total after De-
cember's sales are added will be be-
tween $5,500,000 and S6,000,000. While
Idaho will be behind every state in
the twelfth federal reserve district in
per capita performance. nevertheless
the state will be ahead of such eastern
states as New York and Massachu
sets. The leaders say that when 1t
is considered that much of the War
Savings work done the last year has
been that of educating the people in
this innovation ON the part of the gov
ernment's financial methods Idaho
may compare favorably with other
states in the matter of performance
Red Cross Roll Call.
State headquarters of the Red Cross
Christmas roll call is still unable to
give final results, as several of the
counties have continued their drives
and reports are slow in coming in.
However, f. S. Chadwick, campaign
director, says that they will guarantee
last years record, and he is fairly con-
fident that enrollments will reach the
$1,000 mark.
Only two chapters, Butte and Blaine,
, have turned in complete reports, %
chapters with incomplete returns give
63,7S3 members and these same chap
tiers last year enrolled 6S.205, which
is not encouraging unless the complete
returns give considerable increase
!, About II chapters have sent in no re-
cent reports at ALL
Red Cross War Fund.
The quota of 100000 set for Idaho
in the Red Cross war fund drive, which
began May 20, 1917. and lasted for a
week, was oversubscribed by approx
mately $150000, the final sum being
more than 100000, This splendid rec
ord for Idaho was aided by the fine
organization and splendid spirit of the
workers. Many of the counties raised
over their quota in the first day of
the drive.

COCO workers ready to take the field
An oversubscription Of % per cent was
asked for by the national headquart-
ers, and Idaho gave double that as her
oversubscription. according to ]. III.
