COUNTY SUBSCRIBES $234,000

Second Liberty Loan Allotment Exceeded by Good Sum. The second Liberty loan was a success in every way and exceeded the fondest expectations of all. The grand total subscribed, while detailed figures are not yet available, will be in the neighborhood of $5.500,000,000, half a billion more than asked. Jasper county, along with the rest of the nation, exceeded her allotment by a good sum—s44,ooo. 'While asked for $20t,000, our allotment should have been but $190,000, but figures already available indicate that the total will reach if not pass $234,000. Figures 1 for each township have not yet been turned in for but two—Carpenter and Wheatfield. The allotment for the former was $48,000 and they subscribed $69,200, while Wheatfield’s allotment was $15,000 and they turned in SIB,O 00. It is hoped to have the detailed figures for the other townships for Saturday’s Democrat.
