The amount which was sold at the Burlington shops, and at the various banks in the city, aggregated about twenty-five thousand for the day. This is for the entire county, and with the remaining $200,000 still to raise it should be done in one day.

This is the time when all should be done for this loan possible, we can win this war only when all are working and work-J ing in earnest. We should do our instintedly and do it now in the matter of this bond deal. The best proposition out of doors is to own some Liberty Bonds. STILL HOLD AN INTEREST. Ft on Tuesday's Dally.

The weather was fine all way over, was only sick for about half day, had many fine young ladies, mos-tly British, and enjoyed dancing on way over from the Islands. San Francisc is a great phice, seems as busy as Chicago or New York. Soldiers are Ace high here, we have not had a dull moment since bind ing. My chum is well acquainted and his friends have been showing us the city. On arriving here from the Island the thing which struck me most forcibly was, the different attitude in regard to the war, from what it is a Hawaii. After staying there for the time I have it seems as though America was not awake, but sure she is, and is making the most gigantic preparations, for the early winning of the struggle.
