they, Bill?" "Not me; I won't invest a dollar."
"Bet 3rou $2 that you buy at least
one bond before this sale is over," said
the editor, rubbing a grimy finger re
flectively over his long nose. "Take the bet!" snapped Bill. Bill left the office, and Mr. Rich, the editor, got in communication with McNamara, the hed of the selling committee. As they talked low, the young
lady in the bank could not hear the conversation. A A week after the campaign opened

A veritable army. comparable in thoroughness of organization and effectiveness of operation with those now in the battle zones of F--nce, is working at top speedfin th Eighth Federal Reserve District for .he success of the Third Liberty Loan. Reduced to the basis of army divlBions12,000 to & division there are practically eight divisions in the field, as many Liberty Loan workers in the states composing this reserve district as there were American soldiers in France just before the recent big German drives. This army of Liberty Loan -workers is being directed by a central organization comparable to an army's general staff. On two floors of the Rail
way Exchange Building, St. Louis, the largest office building in the world, occupying enough space to accommodate all the business houses of an ordinary town, are the high commanders of this army. From this nerve center of direction go out the directions, the orders the advice to 363 counties of the district. Each smaller unit in each state and county hrfs its individual heads and leaders. While these messages go and come by telephone and telegraph, the central headquarters is launching a veritable avalanche of printed matter over its territory. These tons of literature, destined to reach the 7,385,600 population in the district, have

Working " directly under central headquarters are 5,455 sales directors, 15 to a county. Working under each director is a staff of between 10 and 15 salesmen. Even estimating tha sales force under each director at 10 men, this would make a total of 55,450 salesmen. It is believed the total is
nearer 75,000. There arfe 5,000 publicity directors in the district, with staffs of assistants. There are 2,000 speakers and several thousand workers in miscellaneous fields. A perfect system of checking up on all persons able to buy bonds has been evolved. V. L. Price, director of sales forces, can put his finger immediately upon weak spots.

besides, the government needed the money. So he, too, became a bond
owner at $1 a week. Mrs. Clara. Kersting, another inmate of the institution, is keenly patriotic and is doing her share In helping to finance the war for human liberty.

The knitted articles go to the soldiers and sailors and war sufferers even more unfortunate than
