This is now the aim of the com
mittee which has charge of the sale
of bonds for the third Liberty loan

Omaha may be oversubscribed, there
will be no let-up in the effort to sfe
how many Omaha people will buy
1 bonds.

r It is estimated that by Thursday
noon Omaha will have reached its j
quota of $3,500,00 subscription. This

Liberty "tank" on Seventeenth and
Farnain streets.
; The city tank was moved yesterday

While the campaign is slowing
down in the amount of money sub
scribed, it is not letting up any in the
number of subscribers. Practically all
tne large subscriptions are in, but
there still are a great many $50 and
$100 prospects yet to be called" on.
While the committee reports that
i tne small buyers are responding
' it points out that it take 10,000 $50
bonds to make $500 (100 RusVipI
' baskets are being used at the Federal
Reserve bank to hold the smaller
subscriptions until they may be
counted and checked.
"We are now anxious to obtain
the greatest possible number of sub
scribers and not to )ust see how far
Omaha can oversubscribe its quota,"
declares Thomas C. Byrne, state
chairman. " The sooner that all the
people become stockholders with
Uncle Sam the sooner will the whole
nation realize tWe necessity of licking
Germany. .
"Secretary McAdoo asks for 20,
.000,000 subscribers, an average sub
scription of $150," says W E.
Rhoades, city chairman. "That means
36,000 subscribers as Omaha's quota,
or four out of every five families.
"There never was any doubt about
Omaha taking its quota," asserts
Franklin Mann, chairman of the
sales committee. "The goal is to put
a bond into every home in Omaha."
Union Pacific offices were closed
, from noon till 2 o'clock that officials
might take part in the program.
Calvin Heads Procession.
Just befori 1 o'clock more than
1,000 Union Pacific employes lined
up on Dodgo steet, between Four-
. a i v: r a .1. n ' j .
Calvin and General Managers Jeffers
headed the procession and, in advance
of a band, they marched up Fifteenth
street, with W. H. Murray, assistant
general passenger agent, acting as
- commander-in-chief.
The procession marched to Farnam
street and then turned west, stopping
at Sixteenth street, where the tank
had reposed since Monday afternoon.
At the command of Mr. Murray, the
Union-Pacific people, men and wom
en, grabbed hold of the ropes on the
- tank and the huge war monster began
its journey up Farnam street, the
people on the side lines'cheering.
On the west side of Seventeenth
street, after the tank stopped, N. H.
Loomis climbed to the upber deck and
from there he delivered a five-minute
address, pointing out what Omaha
has "don; in going "over the top" on
the third Liberty loan subscriptions
and urging people not to cease pour-
- ing ia thei. money.
Oversubscription Assured.
W. H. Pitzer of Nebraska City,
t chairman of Otoe county, with a
..quota of $524,700, started off the
"campaign with a request to prospects
to call and meet with the committee
at headquarters. In this way $420,000
worth of bonds was sold on April 12
and 13. The banks sold $80,000 more.
The entire quota was practically ob
tained befdre general solicitation be-
gam, so that a large oversubscription!
is assured."
Greeley, county, with a quota of
,$180,000, and Valley county, with a
quota of $215,400, have gone over the
top. Thomas Lanigan, jr., of Gree
ley is chairman of Greeley county,
- and E. M. Williams of Ord is chair
man of Valley county.
George C. Gage of Fremont, chair-j
man of Dodge county, with a quota
of $762,800, reports subscriptions of
" more than $1,000,000, and predicts the
final record will be in the neighbor-j
hood of $1,250,000. Every town and!
township in the county has won its
honor flag and the number of sub-
scribers to date exceeds 4,000.
Harry Tukey, who solicited the
Omaha postoffice, reports an inspiring
" patriotic response. His prize sale was
$100 bond to a lerk whose salary
ist on,ly $1,100, and who is supporting
nine children and maintaining an acre
of ground in the, suburbs. The clerks
are all looking forward to a raise in
salaries so they may be able to make
an even better showing on the next
drive. x .
