| thought we must back the boys un-
til they come home.
To-day letters of appreciation
were issued to the various county
organizations by E. ]. Stackpole,
chairman of the district, and A. IL.
Dinsmore. the acting campaign
director of the district.
Mr.. Stackpole wrote as follows:
with the completion of the
united campaign for the various
| organizations combined for the big
drive. 1t is n pleasure to Srknowl-
edge the splendid services of your
| self and those associated with you
In the canvass.
"In view of the unusual and eX-
| traordinary difficulties which beset
| the workers froa the outset-the
great Liberty Loan Campaign in ad-
vance of our own effort, complicated
| with the influenza epidemic and the
peace demonstrations-th results
are more than gratifying and there
| is glory enough for all who partlcl-
pated in the drive. 1t is generally
recognized that no campaign Incl
| dent to the war work was ever con-
Quoted with so many handicaps and
| the satisfactory conclusion is a tes-
| timonial OF the energy, intelligence
and patriotism of all who had any
part in it. At this writing l believe
! it is reasonable to state that we
| shall be able to report more than
100000 over our district quota of
| 100000. or course, it will be some
| time before all the scattered returns
are received.
I'm thus acknowledging the un-
| selfish services of yourself and
your associates, let me again assure
you and through you the splendid
| staff with which you were sur
rounded. of my personal apprecia-
ton of a job well done"

LAS city chairman of the United
| War Work Campaign / wish to ex-
| tend to the good citizens of Harris
burg my thanks for their magnifi-
| cent response to the call. AS usual
Harrisburg went over the top.
am pleased TO announce that the
"yellows were few and Aar be-
! tween. The few are now well
| known.
The ward and precinct workers
deserve the greatest credit for the
very thorough canvass made of the
city's homes. The returns from the
industrial canvass were very good
and the same can be said of the
advisory board campaign.
ut will be great consolation tt
! those who contributed to the sue
cess of the campaign to feel tina
they have in some way rewarded
| our boys for their glorious deeds OF
the fields of battle.
