Some of Indiana's Most Important Counties Are Put to Shamo by Lake County, Which Holds Over-Subscription.
fhtrrsday, April' iS, 191 P.
Twenty-six Indiao counties baring liatrlbuttd their quota of Indiana's $53.770.003 of the third liberty loan honj Jssue, continue to pile up over-subscriptions. L.ke county has put them aii to shan.e. The c'.oso f tho twelfth day of the third liberty loan drive In Indiana witnessed the posting of . total hasd upon an. averars daily distribution of more than 13.000,000 worth of Vnited Stairs eourltlcs. This Is a marked decline In the average of the first five days of the drive, when the returns averaged r.early 13.000.000 per day. The figures indicate the marnitude af tb task eet fcr the alxty-eisht counties of Indiana in the eaventh fedenvl rervo district xvhlh 'wore naked to subscribe for a minimum cf 153.770,000. and of the effectiveness of the orar.lzatlc!n which ae able to accomplish, eo much In such a short time In many of the counties. Tl'lth wore than $15,000,000 remaining cf the minimum. It is apparent, says a statement from headquarters today, that there can be no letting down !n the work if the state la to roll up the heavy over-subscription wanted to keep Indiana In her proper place behind the federal irovirnment la prosecutir.g- the ar with Germany. Among the larg-est counties still lackin the distribution of their minimum allotment aro Tje following: Allen county, allotment $3,500,000: distributed $1,150,000.
Howard county, allotment, distributed $241,450. Israr.ge county allotment, distributed $S7,3:0. Shelby county allot-nent.

Lake county with an allotment of $3.- ' 0,j0' has already distributed $7 4 4.001 in excess of that figure: Madison rn-mty has sold $1,150,009 or $200,000 ir-ore than the allotment and Decatur county is maintaining her S3 per cent ovpr-subscrlptioa ler.rlership. All county orfrairzations are known tn be devoting themselves to the task cf securing tho largest possible nuraher '.f subscriptions. In addition to thi efforts that are h!rig made to each the minimum quickly, by calling on persons able and willing to buy in larjre quantities rather than on the banks, v-hlch might under-wrlte practically the entire balance of the sum allotted, they are expected to add to their totals J.eavliy in the next few days. The attempts at complete distribution are in line with the requests that come from the United States treasury, and for which the government is almost as anxious as it Is to secure the ove'r-subscrip-fions, it is believer, too. that some of the counties have actually distributed Tor.ds far In excess ef the figures retorted to state headquartehs, and that they may go over the minimum with the "txt official return of figure's.
