With thousand dollar limit on certifi cates the realization grows that little savings roll up into money. Several counties did not sell one hundred per cent of their allotment. In some cases it wes due to a heavy quota and changing conditions of population. After all, failure to attain one hun dred per cent, was largely due to lack of energy in local organizations in pushing the campaign. There is plen ty of money in Oregon. Allowance, too, should be made in some places for the disruption of affairs by the "On"; otherwise those communities Bight have completed their quota, la every one of the countries making a material ovesubscription there was kighly organized effort.
