Making good on their determination
to put over the Y NJ. c. A. army fund
in two days, men of the association,
with the end Of the second day, Of the
campaign, found that they had reached
and passed the city's minimum appor
tionment of $4,000. The county, which
has not worked at such high speed, and
the reports of which are even more in
complete than the city's, has subscribed
in the first two days of the campaign
about so per cent of the apportionment
Of the county outside of the city.
Up to Wednesday night the city re-
ported s6,79450, with the reports in
complete. Up to the same time fifteen
of the eighteen county districts out
side of the city reported s5.56350 of its
minimum apportionment Of $4,000. The
county is expected to reach its full
minimum before the end of the week,
and the city's share will total $4,000
or more when all reports are in.
As q credit against the county's
maximum 1t will receive $1,000 moro
that the high school boys have raised
in the county for food for prisoners.
Apgar's Team Leads.
In the two days campaign in the city
there was secured by solicitors sub
scriptions OF a total of $500. Some
subscriptions We're taken from So
called guarantors, who agreed to give
any amount between given minimum
and maximum Of each of their sub
scriptions. The solicitors told them
that undoubtedly the minimum in each
case would be sufficient, and it is on
the minimum amount of each of these
subscriptions that the total is figured.
r. E. Apgar's team distanced all Of
the other nine, securing as it did more
than twice the amount any other team
secured. Sidney Johnson's team, and
the team captained by H. A. Kinnan,
ranked second and third, respectively,
there being a very small difference in
the totals of the two teams. Thomas
Stotts' team was fourth.
The totals secured by each team
were: r. E. Apgar, S1.752: ]. s. John

him IS cents to make it 81. He got
the loan and the Y. M. c. A. fund got
the 81.

$4,000. and with three districts not re-
porting at all, the county outside of
the city is s3,427 below its minimum
apportionment. State Center did not
start its campaign until today, and up
to Wednesday night nothing had been
heard from Logan or Bangor town
ships. Vienna, Ltscomb, and Jefferson
townships have set the pace for the
county. Each already has subscribed
its minimum annnrtionrnent, Vienna by
the largest amount. s196. Liscomb ex-
ceeds hers by 1920 and jefferson
