OVER QUOTA
Hammond's Y. NJ. G. A.
Drive Brings More Than
$4,000 Into War Fund on
3rd Day and 1t Is Hoped
to Make 1t $4,000 by
Monday Noon.

From the wages Of men who toll, the
earnings of girls and women IN the
stores and factories and the little saw
ing banks of school boys and gir-s. the
money power has been generated TO pull
Hammond over the top in the great y
n. c. \. war work campaign.
1t has hurt--a little. Theatre busi-
ness has fallen off some the florist and
the candy merchant are a little less
busy; the purchase Of that new hat has
been postponed-but that is only for
this week. Practically every penny of
more than $4,000 came Gus o. this
weeks spending money and the sacri-
fee viii all be over in few days with
the people all the better for it.
That should set at rest the idea that
Hammond has been drained. It's re-
sources haven't been tapped Il was
merely because every body gave little
that Hammond did so nobly and gave
5000 more than her quota with until

amount
