UTAH'S quota for the fourth liberty lib-erty loan is $21,000,000, according accord-ing to intimations received by the state Liberty loan organization organiza-tion which met yesterday in the Commercial Com-mercial club to lay preliminary plans for the coming campaign. The exact figure will be announced shortly, it is understood. The drive will commence September 28 and continue three weeks. Though sobered by a keen realization of the immensity of their task in raising rais-ing so huge a sura, the workers who met yesterday settled down with invincible determination to outline their campaign. All day they were in session discussing freely and exhaustively tho various problems to be solved. What to do with slackers was a question ques-tion that aroused warm discussion. Radical Rad-ical measures were proposed, and it soon proved to be tho sentiment among the workers that pitiless publicity was the remedy for the men who would not buy their shtire of Liberty bonds. Details of the plan for dealing with this matter are yet to be worked out. Emphasis was placed on the necessity for the, closest and most thorough kind of organization in the smaller units of the state the cities, towns, wards and school districts. The state and county organizations are complete and in good runninir order, but the smaller bodies of workers must be brought up to a high state of perfection, for past experience ex-perience has proved that they are the ones who actually get immediate results. re-sults. Will Award Honor Flags. Tt was announced that tho same system sys-tem of awarding honor flags to cities, counties and towns would prevail for the fourth as for tho third Liberty loan, except that before any award is made the community claiming it must have secured not only its quota in dollars, but -0 per cent of Us population as subscribers sub-scribers to the loan. A new feature of the honor flag system sys-tem was also introduced in the form of a competition among industrial concerns. con-cerns. The business house or industrial indus-trial firm which secures SO per cent roprosentat ion among its employees receives re-ceives an honor flag, with additional honors in the form of stickers for those who secure 00 or 100 per cent. Publicity in every conceivable form was stronglv advocated at the meeting. It. was admitted that the actual subscriptions sub-scriptions were for the most part secured se-cured through committees and individual indi-vidual canvassers, but the preparation of tile public mind necessary to make the personal solicitation a success had to be from advertising, it was maintained. main-tained. Yimous methods and "stunta'' were briefly discussed for advertising the loan extensively. No feature of the discussions was more prominent than that which per-tninod per-tninod to the women's share in the fourth l.ibertv loan drive. It was pointed point-ed out that '$3,000,000 of the state's quota last time was secured by the women, and the advisability of making their organization still more effective iind tho co-operation betwen them and the men still closer was strongly pointed point-ed out. The resolutions adopted at the recent re-cent l.ibertv loan conference in Pan Francisco were presented and pnssed. Thev specify that a woman shall he appointed n member of the state executive execu-tive committee and also of each county- committee, and that the field of opera- tions for the women be fully defined, so as to avoid duplicated effort. The women were particularly urged to work with the wives of prospective bond buyers. Frequently valuable progress prog-ress can be made in securing subscriptions subscrip-tions when the woman of the home is enthusiastic. 100,000 Subscribers. The slogan for the coming campaign is "100,000 subscribers for Utah. f And every bond buyer is to be urged to distribute dis-tribute the bonds he buys among members mem-bers of his family, so that if possible there will be a bond for every member. Two weeks before the campaign begins be-gins five parties of the state's ablest speakers will tour the various counties in an automobile.
