(Special to The News via Gg. 7. P. Telegrapns.) TORONTO, November 6.—-F, Minion executive of the Victory R. Wood, chairman of the Do- Loan, made the following com- inelts on the suecess of the campaign up to last evening: | “The campaign is now practically half finished. The success | to date has been due in large measure to the fact that investors |; Who have so far purchased bonds have bought more than they | did in previous loans, and small, The faet that experienced investors, large have subscribed early and have taken more bonds —_ —_————— than ever before indicates that they recognize the attractiveness ol! the Vietory Loan as an invest. ‘ment as well as appreciate the | patriotie necessity of cleaning up jour obligations and maintaining | -anada’s prosperity, ‘The total subscriptions re- ported so far aggregate $208,000,. | 000. It must be remembered, how- ever, that this amount includes a Jsers large proportion of the wig } subscriptions available and in or- lider to make a success of the loan it will be necessary, as in previous years, that the medium and smal- ler subscribers shall come for- ; Ward in great numbers. The rate on interest carried E the bonds, namely, 54%, is the jsame as on tke loans issued in the dark days of the war, all of which loans are selling at sub- } stantial premiums. As a matte) iof fact this new loan is particu. la ‘ly attractive from the stand- |point of the small investor and jone of the gratifying features of jthe campaign has been the readi- ness with which the employees of imdustries. have taken the loan wher® they had the experience of buying previous loans. This is Canada’s final financial war effort and it is not only good business but good patriotism for every Canadian to become the owner o' n Victory Bond. Let every man and woman in Canada buy bonds to the limit of their ability ane prespective savings of the next ten months.” DOWN FOR HEARING Mah Kee to be Tried Tomorrow Before Judge Young.

Gathering up points is proving to be the most interesting occu- pation for the contestants in the Daily News Circulation Contest, Some of the competitors are run- ning neck and neck and all are working hand to maintain their lead, Although a late starter in the competition, Joe MePhee by con- sistent work, has secured first place, with Miss Nora Kenny a good second. There is not a real day’s work between these two competitors for the first prize, however, and Miss Kenny will doubtless reduce Joe's lead before the end of the competition. George Walsh, of Seal Gove, is in Ime for the third prize mean- time, with Bert Kelly crowding him for position. There is very little difference between these last two contestants, and their posi- tion varies every day, These are the four leaders meantime in the contest. There are several others who have entered for the prizes offered, who are working hard, and may be ‘possible winners eventually. They are enthusiastic ind working hard, and will be giv- ing the leaders of today a run for their money. bh. W. Cameron and J, P.
