attended by representative men and
" omen Chairman Ruggles presid
ed and also gave those present a
few remarks about what was done
at the gathering of War Fund
Workers at Madison two weeks
ago, at which gathering he was
present. w. V. Silverthorn, of

in behalf of the campaign, and pre-
sented points of interest regarding
conditions on the battle front and
in the war stricken foreign nations
as learned from men who have been
over there. Wallace G. Wright,
general secretary of the Y. M. {.
A. at Superior, gave an outline of
the work being carried on by the
Association and put particular stress
upon the good work being dcne to
protect the morale of the soldiers.
A number of committeeman from
towns in the county were present
and a general knowledge of how
best TO carry on the campaign was
gathered.
Iron county more than met her
obliga ions as regards the Red Cross
campaign for funds, exceeded her
allotment in both the first and sec
ond Liberty Loans, and it is reason =
able to expect that she will respond
equally as well in the Y. NJ c. A
War Fund Campaign. It's for a
most worthy cause and deserves the
support of everyone. Most every
body has been made familiar with
the work being done at the army
camps in this country by the Asso-
citation, either through the news
papers or through letters received
from the boys in the camps, who
speak in glowing terms OF the many
advantages offered by the y. NJ {.
A "huts.
So when you are approached next
week BY one of the committee give
as much as you can. You MAJ
think that these campaigns for con
tributions are coming rather often.
but if you are in that state of mind
just stop and think that this war
has Just begun and before it is over
YOU may have to give and sacrifice
until it hurts.
