THIS COUNTY STANDS AT THE HEAD IN THIRD LIBERTY LOAN. Word was received at the state Liberty loan headquarters Wednesday from Chicago that every county in the state of Indiana was officially “white” in the third loan campaign. According to figures tabulated in the Seventh Federal reserve district bank Thursday, and which virtually are final, the state subscribed a total or 131.71 per cent, of its original allotmeht. George H. Dunscomb, of Chicago, director of sales for Indiana, notified Will H. Wade, of Indianapolis, vicedirector of sales, that in the official tabulation in the federal reserve bank, Jasper county nosed out Dearborn county as the leading county of the state, although, according to unofficial figures at the close of the campaign, 'Dearborn county had subscribed the largest percentage of any county over its original allotment. Jasper county, according to the final tabulations of applications for bonds in .the federal reserve bank, subscribed for 271.71 per cent, of its original allotment, while Dearborn county' subscribed 269.70 per cent. Blackford county came nearest to remaining “black” on the third Liberty loan map. It subscribed only 101.89 per cent. Notices are being sent to county chairmen, giving the last official tabulations of the federal reserve bank. Plans are under way for the continuation of a part of the Liberty loan organization in Indiana throughout the summer for the purpose of further organization of Indiana counties, in connection with the county councils of defense and with the co-op-eration of the state council of defense.
