UNITED WAR WORK
drive NOT COMPLETED
A..not Has Raised Ouly $4,000 of its
$4,000 Quota-Some County Towns
Go Over the Top.

The United War Work drive, which
began in this county this week, has not
yet been completed, altho the commit
tees are still doing some hard work.
Minot's quota is $4,000 and up to
this afternoon, $4,000 had been raised.
Those in charge of the work hope to
raise the full amount by the last Of
the week.
The campaign is coming on fairly
we'll in the county. Donnybrook, Ry-
der and Burlington have already gone
over the top.
We should all remember that while
the war is practically over, our boys
will be over there for another year or
longer and every cent of the $3.50, ,000,-
900 raised for the seven various war
relief organizations will all be used to
good advantage. We should give all
the more freely, now that the boys
have done such an effective job at
cleaning up Kaiser Bill. If you have
given a dollar or two, double the am
cunt. If you have scratched around
and handed over five dollars, make it
ten. Minot has never fallen down in
an undertaking Of this sort, and it's a
poor time to begin.
