coming In exaspoiatlnKly slow. Only
$5000 was subscribed yesterday. The
total this mornlnB was only $235,

quota.
The committee announced this
noon that unless a vigorous cruvadu
Is quickly begun to persuade those
persons who have already subscribed
to greatly Increase their subscrip
tions, and to obtain many new sub.
Ncriliers the Medford district will full
utterly to reach its quota and K
down In history as a slacker coin in u
nlty.
And such a crusade can only bo
carried on by volunteer solicitors
Who must hurry forward and tender
their services. Despite the pleas of
tho committees for solicitors to help
out, only one man appeared for such
duty this morning.
Tho committee figures that most
of the people who hud Intended to
subscribe hnve done so already and
that future subscriptions will have to
depend almost entirely on personal
solicitation. The only known big
subscription coming Is one of $9,000
from the $13,000 tho county court
Bus voted to Invest In liberty bonds.
Among the subscriptions of Wed
nesday was a $1000 one from the
Union Oil company and an additional
$".00 subscription by John C. Mann
