It will be Wednesday or Thursday before defi nite figures on the Thiol J.ilicrty lonrv van he announced, hut it in ns-hilri-J t,iat the nunihe of .bonds' sold will total Ijcttyt cn four, inn) five bi!-lion-. , f ' .-!:' Offlclal'lsstiuiates placed the num ber of subscribers at between twelve million and fifteen million far above the 1 0,(100, Opo of the second loan, or 4,500,000 of the first and some officials, expressed the belief that tho roll of liond buyers would bo even greater. To them this was one of the most encouraging features of tho loan. . - All twelve federal reserve districts which were the lurgest campaign units, over-subscribed, and. a major ity of tho states made the same rec ord. Delaware doubled Its quota. Bond selling continued actively in many cities up to a luto hour tonight nnd banks stayed open In a final ef fort to roll up more sales than the $1,416,000,000 of the second liberty loan last October. Big Money Held Messages reaching Washington to night, Indicated, however, that the big subscriptions from corporations and business interests which were features of the last hours of the sec ond campaign, were lacking, owing to the imminence of income and excess profits taxes paying time in June, when more than $3,000,000,000' in war levies will have to bo paid to tho government. Tho headquarters reviow tonight described the final round-up in New York as "probably the most striking feature of the last day's campaign." Within a few hours, $129,000,000 subscriptions were recorded, sending the city and state of New York over their quotas. The figure of $3,203, 6.15,400 offlclully recorded by the treasury, covered business up to 3 p. m. today, and Boston and Philadel phia, which reported at 1 1 a. m. to day. IniHiKsible to Kstimuto "It Is impossible to estimate the amount of subscriptions taken in the various districts up to the close of business tonight," snld the headquar ters statement. "But the volume doubtless will show an Increase over tho latest official figures." Tho Atlanta district, which has been at the bottom of the percentage column since thu campaign started, April 6, sent this word tonight: "Sales reported from all parts of the district innlento that the quota may bo exceeded !v more than 25 percent. We believe i!,at practically every county nnd 'immunity will go over the top." HEAVY FROST FOR The weather prediction of a heavy frost tomorrow morning is disquiet ing news to the orchardlsts and farm ers of the valley. This prediction was issued by the San Francisco wealher bureau this morning, nnd it Is hoped that atmospheric coii'll tlons will change by tonight nnd ward off the frost. The prediction reads peculiarly. In that It says: "Tonight and Tuesday fair. Warmer Tuesday. Heavy frosi In the morning." Orchardlsts were much worried last night and kept in close touch with the local weather bureau until the danger period was past. Iletween 10 p. m. Sunday and 1:30 n. m. today the temperature fell 1 degree eveiy half hour until the minimum of 32. 9 was reached. There was only n light frost (his I'.onilng.
