BOND SALE IS SUCCESSFUL

$200,000 Mark Has Already Been Reached in Jasper County. While complete figures are not yet available, the Becond Liberty loan bond sale will be successful in Jasper county, the $200,000 mark having been reached yesterday. Arrangements have been made to continue receiving subscriptions all day today, and such will be wired to headquarters. While the minimum amount for this county is $190,000, figured on a basis of 10 per cent, of the banking resources, the committee, at state headquarters fixed the amount at $200,000. James IT. Chapman, chairman of the bond sales, feels that the county should subscribe at least $270,000, and every effort will be made to reach this amount today. Successful meetings to further the bond sale have been held at several points in the county during the week. W. L. Wood of Parr, who has been tireless in his efforts to boost the loan, talked at a fine meeting at Gilford Wednesday night when $1,350 was subscribed. He also addressed another meeting at Virgie Thursday night and $7)50 was pledged there.
