made
a
fine
start
on
the

day
of
the
Second

Loan
Drive,
well
on
towards
the
half-way
mark
of
the
objec-v

being
achieved.
Subscrlp-
tlons
for
the
day
were
an-
nounced
last
night
as
having
totalled
$217,000.
the
objective
being
$485,000.
Canvassers
re-
ported
a
ready
response
with
a
general
understanding
on
the
part
of
the
public.
There
were
also
a

had
only
been
awaiting

A
"comparison
of
yesterday's
opening
day
results
In
the
Second
Victory
Loan
campaign
with
those
of
the
first
day
last
year
show
a
great
Improvement.
Whereas
the
opening
day
subscriptions
this
year
were
$217,000,
which
Is
incidentally
44
percent
of
the
quota
only
$47,000
came
In
on
the
Initial
day
last
June.
It
was
the
ninth
day
before
$200,000
was
reached
last
year
and
it
was
the
nineteenth
day
before
the
quota
was
reached.
Good
organization,
effective
publicity,
sound
groundwork
and
a
more
general
appreciation
of
the
seriousness
of
the
war
are
believed
to
be
the
principal
factors
in
actuating
the
ready
response
on
this
occasion.
The
campaign
is
also
being
conducted
on
a
much
more
econom

this
time.
