committee, wears significant smile
these days. 1t is not that the committee
treasury is overfiowing, for that is not
true, but Notwithstanding the indispo-

up their coin the campaign is making
splendid progress and everything IS re-
ported satisfactory.
..All reports are good" said Chairman
Spence. "The meetings held have been
excellent. They have been well attend
ed and the interest taken is commenda-
Bile. The committee is running on as
