Spectaular Features Succeed.
The spectacular features of the first
the treasury department indicate, in
day succeeded everywhere, reports to
arousing widespread enthusiasm. To
keep alivethis enthusiasm and swell
its volume till every person who can
buy a liberty bond does buy one, is
the work to which the volunteer army
is now devoting its attention j
Officials here, were no tinclined to
minimize the tremendous task. A vast
amount of hard work must be done
during the next 23 more working days
by every person in the ranks of the
great organization. An average of
$125,000,000 a day in subscriptions for
the entire period would bring the to
tal only up to the minimum. What offi
cials hope for is to make every day a
$200,000,000 day, or on an eight hour
basis, $25,000,000 an hour. This would
brjng the total t owithin hailingdis
tance of the $5,000,000,000 which the
country is expected to subscribe.
With $10,000,000 subscribers as
the goal, the average daily subscrip
tion list should show 400,000 names.
Again, computed on an eight hour
working day basis, 50,000 men and wo
men would have to subscribe every
hour to bring the total up to expectations.

load of horses from Vir

you will profit by my experience.
