Secretary Wm. Karre of tho

day evening that Harney cou.ity had
over (subscribed its quota for the
Fourth Liberty Lop.n Ilonds. Tho
total at that time wai
$184,650.
While our quota was $172,000.

First National Bank, 470 Mil,

In the hands of the secretary, 11
subscribers, $700.
This Is a very gratifying showing
as it was considered a hard task for
us to raise the amount assigned us.
With crop failures and dry weather,
necessitating the removal of live
stock to other sections for forage It
was quite an undertaking to secure
the amount. However, it is certainly
a credit to the loyalty and patriotism
of the citizens of this county that
such a showing is made.
