6lSnL teams AQPOluL6U LO OA L4o work had reported at headquarters $473.95 was subscribed yesterday for the fund. When receipts of yester- days donations are turned in by the other four teams 1t is expected that the amount now at hand will be con- siderably swelled.
 A house-to-house canvass is being made by the workers, each team be- ing assigned a certain district in which to solicit donations. Yester- day only the outskirts of the town were canvassed.
 As the money turned into the fund will be expended in the war camp cities. both in this country and abroad, and will benefit United States men in the service, little doubt is expressed but what Plainv1lle will suc- ceed in reaching its entire allotment before the campaign is brought to 6 close on Friday of this week.
 All are asked to give freely what ever amount they can afford to help in this benevolent work.
