the treasury department that the
fifth war loan drive will be held
throughout the nation from June Pith
through July Kth. The quota has
been set at sixteen billions, an all
time high. State and county quotas
have not been set but based on the
preceding calculations for alloting
quotas it would appear that Bastrop
County's share will he somewhat in
(excess of the $6.'M,000 asked in the
fourth loan early this vear.
