! fort made in Ohio county. there Will

, plished by the mon who have boon in

! thousand. and 10 keep all the people
al work and 10 keep track Of what
they were doing and who they had
seen has been a hnrculean task.
| The same effort that has been made
IN Wheeling has been duplicated in
almost every city in The United
! States. and the committees In charge
have done more than their BIZ for
their country to help win the war: and
! they are surely entitled 10 as much
acclaim AS are tho boys in The
trenches.

; committees. arrangements have been
made for The receipt Of reports from
, all over thc country showing what
success the loan has met with i'm all
