WILL REACH TO 100000
Funds Expected From Miss
ing Quota Cards Will Swell
Grand Total $4,000.
WOMEN HAVE Big SHARE
Working in Interest of Sons,
Brothers and Husbands,
Raised Over One-fourth.

Coming 10 close at $50 last
night, the united war work cam
nagn In Tulsa county has. as far as
figures are available, gone over the
ion a little better than 10000
Promptly at S:45 certain OF the
street lights started dancing a jig
and the whistles at the public serv-
ice company plant played a noisy
accompaniment. The total amount
Of money raised for the campaign
was a little more than $260,O00
Tulsa's quota was S250,000.
Incidental to raising money for
the war work campaign, the cam
mittee is also endeavoring to raise
Is5 900 10 aid in the finances OF the
council OF defense. During the
anti-vice drive, the council OF de-
,ense was set back" by reason OF
the expense of the home guard at
the detention camp, and later on,
they were compelled to spend great
amounts Of money in helping care
for the influenza situation. II is
believed nothing more than right
that this body should be financed,
so they can pay this indebtedness
and this the war work campaign
committee has undertaken to do.
Two Win Prizes.
Prizes given at the Hotel Tulsa
last night went to Mrs. Wlnifred
Washabaugh and II. Hendricks for
having obtained the greatest amount
oi subscriptions during the "clean-
I'd" campaign in the business dis
rict beginning Saturday afternoon.
The prize won by Mrs. Washabaugh
sa handsome sterling silver vase
valued at $50, while Mr.. Hendricks
is the possessor OF a pair OF gold
link cuff buttons.
In this connection II might be
stated that the committees In
charge Of the united war work drive
In Tulsa wish TO extend to those who
in any way aided the drive their
thanks, Especially do they extend
thanks to those who got In the work
right at the start and stayed clear
through, for It has been a long, hard
drive
While active solicitation is Off
cially over there are still a great
number OF quota cards out, which
gives the campaign committee reason
to believe the grand final total will
reach more than 100000. They
confidently believe that they will be
able 10 hand the council OF defense
5000 and still be $25.000 past the
quota OF {250,000. A great many
Of those residents Of Tulsa who are
expected yet to come across" have
been out OF town the last few days
and have had no opportunity to place
their subscriptions. Quota CARDS
from some business firms have not
yet been returned, 20 the committees
feel as though there is still enough
more money coming in to make
their objective OF S3o0,o0o@
Women to Do Their Share.
Complimenting the committees or
women, those in charge of the drive
say they have been most faithful
and active in their work. or the
money that has been raised, the
ladies are responsible for $4,000.
Ot this amount. $4,000 was taken
IN at the booths maintained along
the streets. The Victory boys and
girls clubs have subscribed n total
OF approximately $4,000. This Is be-
lieyed TO be one of the best indica-
lions, from more than one point or
view, Of the entire drive. The young
folks. in subscribing, have to make
an iron-hound promise not to as
cept any money from their parents,
but 10 earns their subscription by
their own efforts.
1t is stated that lists Of those who
nave made noteworthy subscriptions
10 the united war campaign will be
published. The other list of those
Who have failed of their obligation
70 do what they should in the mat
YER II is said, will also be published.
Al any rate, It is the object of the
committees in charge to inform the
returning soldier-boys as to who has
stood by them and who has not.
