It was Oregon, whose oichnnl I,

purely agricultural statu, lowu, which
barely nosed Oregon out of first place

I loth Oregon and Iowa will ho the
special marks for all other states to
shoot at In the Fourth Liberty Loan

the acclaim due the first statu

The answer of the nation to the
A in erl cun sized task of raising the
