will have plenty of material to work
with this week.

our treasury going but by voluntary
contributions. The following ladies
donated $1.00 each last month: Mines.

Jasper Committee Turns in Over $1,000
for the Cause.

The subscriptions taken in Jasper

war work cause last week totaled Mon
day morning $1,40l.25. The county
committee in making its apportion-
ment at Joplin two weeks ago appor-
toned Jasper $500, but asked for the
very best results possible. The local
committee took up the work with the
earnestness and enthusiasm that the
cause merited with the above result.
We believe everybody will be pleased
with Iasper's showing The following
is list of the subscribers, which is
printed not so much to give public
credit as it is in the nature of receipt,
the committee having had to work so
lfurriedly that in most cases receipts
were not given. If anyone's name is
not recorded that should be, we will
gladly correct the error.

A Splendid Rain,

A good rain fell here Friday night,
and again Sunday, in all amounting to
probably nearly 11S inches. II came
steadily but slowly most of the time
and was a great benefit to the wheat.
Hardly any rain had fallen for SO days
prior to this and the wheat was in need
OF moisture but probably not suffering
to any extent. With few days of sun
shine the wheat will get into good shape

the long weary months Of waiting for
