THIRD LOAN GOES OVER TOP

SEVENTEEN MILLION PEOPLE BUY THIRD LIBERTY LOAN BONDS. It now seems quite certain that when the figures are finally tabulated the Third Liberty Loan subscription will exceed $4,000,000,000. The exact figures will not be. obtainable until about May 13. In Indiana more than 400,000 people are on the honor list and every county in the state subscribed its quota. The last county to fall in line was Jay. Jasper county lost her position as the county with the largest per cent of subscription. That honor position is now held by Dearborn county which on a minimum quota of $340,000 has subscribed $917,600 or 270 per cent. Jasper county is second with a minimum quota of $170,000, and a subscription of $425,000 or 250 per cent. Lake county stands fourth*with a quota of $3,000,000, and a Subscription of $6,461,300 or 215* per cent. Newton county is seventh, with a quota of and a subscription of $377,400 or 210 per cent. The total quota for the state was $53,770,000 and the subscription is $70,374,900 or 132 per cent. All of which should help to make Kaiser Bill shake his knees.
