Bank ot Lexington Leads in Ksmber Sent Away Today and Tomorrow --'v. the Last Opportunity. Uncle Sam must have two billion dollars subscribed to the 'Liberty Loan before the eun goes down tomorrow. As The Dispatch goes to press re ports from over the country ehow that the amount is still far short of this. Today and tomorrow must be the two Diggeat cays ot ine campaign pi sev eral weeks if the word is to go to Ber lin that the United States is spending its money just as freely as it expects to send its bullets in behalf of democ racy lor tne wnoie worm. , . Un to noon yesterday between forty and fifty thousand dollars in subscrip tions had been sent to Washington and others' had subscribed but had not de cided on the exact amount they would take. - A number ot these are expected to increase their takings on the final go round and It is hoped that Lexing ton will go far beyond fifty (thousand dollars. Up until noon yesterday the Bank ot Lexington has sent away sub scriptions amounting to $38,000. The other banks had several ' thousand subscribed each, with several indeter minate subscriptions that is expected to materially increase the. amount sent through them. One bank in Thomas ville reported Monday that they bad sent away $15,000. No reports have been secured on other hanks in the county through which the loans are being taken. - - ? - The list of those subscribing in dif ferent amounts through the banks I here are as follows, several ot these j taking bonds, through 'two or more of the local banks: C.

Ten million parcels of literature are be ing distributed this week by the Scouts all over the nation as their part ot the work. "Every Scout to save a soldier" is their slogan this week. Tomorrow they will call at homes here , and everywhere in the nation in the towns and will carry subscriptions to the bank you desig nate so that they can be sent tn to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washing ton tonight, when the time for sub scribing the loan will have passed. The story has gotten into some sec- tloos that these bonds will not be ac cepted as collateral. This is entirely erroneous. They will he accepted as collateral tor a loan, but money cannot be issued on them. ..This is an ad vantage in the long run, as M will prevent Inflation of currency In the nation, which would cheapen - tne American dollar, now the standard ot exchange the world over.
