Fifteen -Per Cent e f the Population
Should Subscribe to 3rd Loan.
The fact that Oregon In the First
and Second Liberty L o a » shows a
percentage of only 9.77 per cent of
-the population subscribing to Liberty
Loans, which was less than the a v e r
age for the United States, and oom-
. pares unfavorably with other states,
makes It necessary for at least I t per
.cent of the population to subscribe to
the Third Liberty Loan, ln order to
ibring Oregon into the same «tending
as her slater states.
