Pronounced Success

Ashland, Ore, Nov. Is, 1917.
To the Editor: While the Y. NJ. c.
A. campaign for funds has not been
fully completed, it is so nearly so
that we are enabled to announce that
1t was success and that Ashland, as
heretofore, has responded promptly
to the appeal for help. Some people
ARP inclined to regard our neighbor
town of Phoenix as "slow," but that
word is not in the Phoenix vocabu-
larry when 1t comes to subscribing to
Red Cross and Y. M. G. A. work.
Phoenix was the first place in the
district, If not the whole county, to
over-subscribe its quota. Talent was
unavo4dably delayed in its canvass
but can be depended upon to do its
part Just as 1t did in the Red Cross
compaign. While as yet the cash on
hand lacks few dollars of reaching
the full $1,7O0 quota assigned to the
Ashland-Talent-Phoenix district, the
executive committee has arranged to
temporarily supply this shortage, and
on this evenings mail a draft goes
forward to the Portland headquarters
for the full amount. $1,70O.
The splendid meeting Sunday even
ing was great help in arousing in
terest4 and dts success was very large
ly due to the courtesy of the resident
pastors, who omitted their evening
services and Joined heartily in sup
port Of the union meeting. The As
address of Private Hannah
was absorbingly interesting and the
closing address by Rev. c. A. Ed
wards was inspiring.
Again about fifty Of our people
took up the soliciting work and
pushed It successfully. The Masonic
orders made substantial contributions
