WHITING “GOES OVER TOP.”

Hammond, Ind., April s.—Whiting, a city of 7,000, has “gone over the top” for her third Liberty loan quota, and is said to be the first city in the United States to do so. Her quota was $290,000. Tuesday night the city had a big parade, and in the line of march were representatives of every club, society and organization in Whiting. The patriotic enthusiasm was so great that the loan sales organization decided not to wait for Liberty day, and in fortyeight hours the city raised its quota.
