Is Visiting Wilkes county more than reach ed the B bond quota of 1820,000 In the 7th War Loan and a grand total of 12,800,025 in all types of bonds were purchased in Wilkes dnrlng the campaign, W. D. Half acre, who has very successfully led the county as chairman In aU War Loan drives, reported to day. The E bond quota was reached on the final date of the campaign. The unofficial total of E bonds, according to figures gained from local issuing agents, was $329,- 818. Mr. Halfacre called attention to the fact that liberal purchases of B bonds by men from Wilkes In service had enabled Wilkes to reach the quota. Service men from Wilkes during the 7th War Loan purchased a total of 819,520 In E bonds. Today Mr. Halfacre congratu lated the people of the county for again reaching the quota and keeping Wilkes’ record in bond drives perfect. Wllkee has never failed to reach a War Loan quota, including E bond quotas. Wilkes deserves especial con gratulations In view ot the fact that the national quota of B bonds was not reached In the 7th. At the last report North Carolina bad reached only 90 per cent of the E bonds quota and only 20 of the 100 conntles In the state had gone over the top in E bond sales.
