ed quota of approximately half a mil

Individual quotas will be aent out
thru the malls today, and.lt la urged
upon all citizens upon their receipt
to procood Immediately to their bank
and make 'their subscriptions. A
.'number of counties are already far
udvanced In their work of subscrip
tion, having gambled on the chance
of the'loan being six billion, but the
local officer decided to wait until
they knew exactly what they had to
rulso In order to save possible endless
extra work for themselvee and much
Inconvenience for the resident of the
county. r ,
Every person la the county will be
solicited to purchase If he doee not
subscribe, but It Is believed from the
spirit evidenced by the people that
they will come forward voluntarily
us soon as their quotas are known
and that the work of the canvassers
will be a light task.
Oregon Is to be tho first state In
tho Union over the top In, this cam
paign, a she ha been In tho ones
previous. The splendid slogan of
"Oregon first" must be maintained.
The newa must be flashed to Wash

two daya in which to perform the
huge task. Take your kick at the
