Last June, during the war fund

sented to Chairman Mcfarland a let
ter in which was enclosed n dollar
for the membership of the first room

and hasten to headquarters with
their dollars.
Here is the letter, written in a big
round childish hand which Mr.. Nc
Farland received:
Mr.. Mcfarland, chairman of
