THE X. M. G. a. CAMPAIGN
a GREAT SUCCESS
$4 100000 Raised in the County, Ex-
eeeding Barbour County's AlIot-
ment by $i50O.OO.

We are glad to report to the gem
erous and open hearted people of the
County who made the X. M. G. A.
Campaingn ia the County such q de-
cided success that we have gone
over in great shape We started
out in campaign Of less than q
week to raise $25O0.00, which was the
amount allotted to Barbour County;
we are assured that subscriptions to
this spledid cause. will reach So 10000
and probably go beyond that amount.
In addition to this amount, the Faculty
and students Of Broaddus College
raised about 100000
The brief time allowed us for per-
fecting an organization did not admit
Of the detailed campaign that should
have been made throughout the
country districts of the County, and
for that reason we are satisfied there
are many persons in the County who
will yet contribute to this great
cause. We could not get to see them,
but the books are still open mad sub
scriptions will be received at any
time by the County Treasurer, Mr.. B.
E. Snyder. Any person in the County
may contribute any amount he desires
to pay towards the comfort, happi-
ness and home-like environment that
this worthy institution brings to our
boys in the camp and even to the very
front line trenches.
Next week, we expect to be able
to publish the names of the persons
who aided and the amounts contribut-
ed by them, which has not yet been
possible to get iii shape for publication
this week. The contributions run from
twenty-five cents to $4,000.
One of the most gratifying results
of the entire campaign is the liberal
and free-hearted way in which the
boys and men about the mines in the
county responded with their subscrip-
tions. From practically every mine
in the County the dollars rolled in the

boys in camp and yet to go. 1t was
splendid exhibition of he spirit Of
brotherly interest they feel in the well
fare Of the boys who are making the
supreme sacrifice of their lives for the
benefit of liberty and freedom. This
generosity among the people, general
ly, indicates the promptness with
which we may expect our people to
come forward if the need therefor
should become more urgent. We re-
greet that there are still some persons
in the County who are able to give
to this cause who have not done SO
and who have had the opportunity SO
to do. On the whole, however, the
response has been whole-souled, made
by the County in this great cause.
