having reviewed the preparations of
the local committee, Mr. Ethrldge
declared that the work here waa well
under fay and compared very fav
orably with any of the other sections
of the state which he bad visited.
The amount to be raised In the en.
tire country Is two billion dollars,
ana in (nis siaio evanieea uiiiiiud
. . .... .. . itn i
Klamath county's quota Is 1.40,000
of which 140,000 has already been
subscribed.
The quota for the people of the
United 8tates Is about ISO for each
nun, woman and child. But many
families will not be able to subscribe
thst amount and It will be necessary
for those who are able to subscribe.,
much more On Monday and Tues
day. June 24 and IS. a committee
will canvass the various sections for
membership In the limit club. Mem
bership la this club are limited to
subscriptions of flOOO each. This
amount does not have to be paid at
once, but can come In during the
year.
Of course, no one can guess how
many members' will be secured In the
limit club In Klamath county, but
those In charge of this big drive
hope to get a large number.
The maaa meetings of the county
school districts will raise the'belaaco
of the amount required from Kla
math. This will put the subscrip
tions of the county for Liberty Loan
and War Savings Stamps this year
beyond the three million mark.
