Show f NEARLY $ 1 00,000 SUBSCRIBED BY 1 SMALLER BIOSISSrj)NCIRfjS Nearly $100',(!00 more was subscribed sub-scribed today for Liberty bonds in Ogden. These subscriptions were divided di-vided among smaller business con-cerns con-cerns of the city, but the complete list of purchasers of bonds was not available this afternoon. This will make virtually $1,100,000 which Ogden is to loan to the government to help whip the kaiser. This also Is only the second day of the active campaign in the city. When the small individual subscriptions of city and county start pouring in, it is thought the list will rapidly mount to a figure approaching a million and a half. The allotment for the city and county has not been made public, so most of the Liberty loan campaigners are in the dark as to how much to raise. The government, however, wishes all that can be raised to be raised, and then a checking will be made. The workers in the county report that they will meet with success. They are being received with Interest and enthusiasm by the country residents and the news of the Liberty loan Is being spread thoroughly In every community. com-munity. Members of the principal committee for Ogden have remarked about the lack of patriotism shown by those merchants mer-chants who have been given Liberty loan posters with a request to display them prominently in their windows and have not done so. Tho posters have been distributed througnout Ogden, Og-den, one being loft at each principal concern in the business district, but many merchants have failed to put the posters in their show windows. |
