Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-16

! Copper Queen hotel building will { be open at all business hours to re- { ceive subscriptions which the team } captains do not get.
 Make it your personal business
 to call at the headquarters and sub scribe.
 Further reports of the progress of the united war work campaign and of the funds which have been raised will not be made until Monday night, when the final statement from all team captains and workers and from other district organizations will be read at the closing banquet of the drive The dinner will be held in the lounge rooms of the Y. M. C. A, and all team captains, workers and members of the local organization will be expected to attend. The meeting will mark the close of the drive in this district, if the totals reported as- sure this district of its 50 per cent over-subscription.
 One of the features of the noon re- port yesterday was that of the Victory girls, whose pledges have surprised workers of the district at each success sive meeting. Loud applause greeted the announcement that the girls of the Warren district have already pledged SHY to the drive, an increase of $2OO over the day preceding. Victory boys have subscribed S972 to the drive to date, making a total for the two or ganizations of S20S9. Every cent of this sum, it is agreed by those making the pledges, will be earned for the pur- pose. None of the boys or girls who are making the pledges is receiving the amount of his or her pledge from parents. Odd jobs, such as washing and ironing for the girls, and chores. for the boys, are contributing to the sums which go to make up this total
 Among the latest organizations to be reported as subscribed 100 per cent to the fund is the E. A. Tovrea slaugh- ter house, where every employe and worker has signed a pledge card. In this instance it is remarkable that every pledge represents at least one days salary and that several of the pledges represent much more than days work.
 Reports of the teams and workers at the luncheon yesterday showed the general average of the subscriptions for the district to be well above S10. Total pledges reported todate by the workers divided into the total pledges gives an average for the district of more than S35 for each pledge. How ever, it is known that many individual pledges are not reported in this total The best indication of the average is from the average team. One team with 126 pledges reports $1154 subscribed; another with 57 pledges reports $67S subscribed, and throughout the list the per capita holds about the same ratio.
 G. H. Dowell, county chairman. was a guest at the daily luncheon yester- day. At the close of the luncheon he replied to the request that he speak with a statement of the condition of the loan throughout the county. His report was especially optimistic. Doug las, he declared, has pledged itself to subscribe its 50 per cent over-sub- scription, while other Small outlying districts have already raised from 150 to 300 per cent of their original quota. When final reports are received, he declared, the county will probably have subscribed in excess of $100,000.
 Reports of the committees, team captains and workers at the noon luncheon yesterday increased the to- tai for the previous day by several thousands of dollars. However, the re- ports were not so optimistic as to as- Ha fCfr fuf fnf ffc md subscription, and figures to date are barely up to the original sum request ed of the district. J C. Ryan, the district chairman, pointed out to the workers and team captains that ad ditional efforts for the remaining days of the drive will be necessary if the district is to surpass it's quota. He de- clared that if the mines give the ut- most of returns from their employees the over-subscription will not have been reached, and that it is up to the committees to make every effort to bring in additional subscriptions from the outside.
 At the close of the luncheon MT. Ryan announced that word had just been received from Phoenix that it will be impossible for Arthur Rudman, Y. M. C. A. overseas speaker, to | reach the district for speaking dates on Saturday. and that it is probable | that these dates will have to be can celled. Mir. Rudman's appearance here 1 had been assured in previous tele- ] grams and the local organization last l night was trying to arrange some plan | whereby he may still be secured for | the district. In the event he is secured | and the people of the district shall be permitted to hear him, MT. Ryan l. stated, wide publicity will be given the dates, hour and place of meeting | to assure every person an opportunity 1 of attending.
