CLUDED TOTAL NEARLY HALF

OVER 280 PEOPLE ASSISTED IN

FEBRUARY 2JM SUBSCRIP.
TIONS
Tho final checking of the resuKe of
the' Third Liberty Loan In Klamath
County shows that the county not only
doubled Ua quota, but reached a per
centage of 212.24, the total amount
subscribed being $493,150, within Hr
650 of being a half million. Tho lad!
ldual subscribers also exceeded all
expectations, for It was estimated that
2.C00 people would subscribe In the
county, but the results show that 2JI0
subscriptions were taken. The popmta
Hon of the county la estimated at
about 12,000 people, and based cm this
flKure, Klamath County has subscribed
$11.12 for every person la the ooaaty.
Upon this basis, if all the rest of tho
United Stalea'bad done likewise, tho
Third Liberty Loan subscription
would have rolled up the grand total
of over $45,000,000,000, enough to have
wiped out Prusslanlsm forever.
Of the total of $4S,4M, tho City of
Klamath Falls subscribed $151,tM, tho
county precincts $132,100, tho indus
trial plants snd employes $51,050. tho
Klamath Indiana $4800, absent citi
zen of Klamath Comity $6,450. aad
the foreign subscriptions secured by
J. F. Kimball, chairman of the foreign
subscriptions committee. $102,350.
It Is needless -to say that this re
markable shewing Is far beyond tho
expectation of any of those connected
with tho Liberty Loan work. It was
not accomplished by any sadden ex
cllement or aroused patriotism, but
was the result of the careful mad de
tailed mnnner In which the work was
handled. Work commenced at Lib
erty Loan headquarters about Febru
ary 10th, and haa been constantly kept
u0 until today. Over 250 people as
sisted at various times as the work
