A great drive is now on through
out the United States to raise

This noble organization looks after
the physical, mental, moral and
spiritual welfare of our soldier boys
while they are in training and
while they are on the firing line in
the trenches.
The people of this county will
not be asked to contribute to a
greater cause than the Y. M. G. A.
war fund, and every contribution to
this fund can be made with the
positive assurance that it is a COLI
tribution to the comfort, happiness
and welfare Of those brave young
Americans who have gone forth in
defense of the flag Those who are
left at home in quiet and comfort
must contribute to the necessities
of those who are fighting the coun-
try's battles, and they should do it
most literally and cheerfully.
Mrs. j. II. Kirtley and G, l.. Coeer
are the committee to raise the Y
M. c. A. fund in Evening Shade, A
partial canvas of the town has been
made and a portion of the towns
share of the fund raised. However,
a considerable sum is yet to be
raised. Don't wait to be called up
on, but hand your contribution to
either member of the committee.
Act generously toward the soldier
boys, and do it now.
