DISTRICT MAKES
 FINE PROGRESS
 WAR WORK DRIVE
Returns on Cards Up to Date Indicate That People Are Alive to Necessity of Rais- ing Fund

Reports of the team captains of work accomplished in the first day of the united war work campaign were received at the first of the regular noon-day workers luncheons, held yes terday noon at the Y. NJ. C. A. lounge rooms. Reports show that nearly all of the teams have started work, that the canvas of cards is progressing rapidly, and indicate that before the end of the week the majority of the cards on which the campaign is being conducted will have been returned with results.
 One of the features of the meeting was the tone of subscribers reported by the workers. In only one instance did the workers find residents of the district who believed that because an armistice had been signed the funds of the drive were unnecessary. When the workers explained that two years of reconstruction and policing in Flu rope will demand the attention of troops of the United States, the objec-
  CT gave literally. On the whole work CTS reported that they have been meet ing with extraordinary spirit of will ingness on the part of the residents of this district.
 With organization work only partial ly completed reports from over the county indicate that more than S33,000 of the county's quota of $70,500 IS al- ready raised. In this district it is diff ficult to state what had been suD- seribed up to yesterday noon, but a conservative estimate of all subscrip- tions reported to date in the district will reach almost S12,000. Douglas has already over-subscribed it's quota, making the total of their assigned $27,- 500 from their war chest. In addition they have pledged to raise an addition al fund to bring their total to at least S40,O00.
 The first district to go over the top from the small outside towns has been Bowie, which on Monday wired J. N. Gaines, county director, that the S163.- 90 quota has been raised and over subscribed, with a total to date of S170.60. Mrs. J. K. Symonds, chairman of this district> wired for more sup plies to take care of additional pledges which will swell the Bowie quota by several more dollars, Reports from the other outside districts are that the captains and chairmen are working and that all of them will raise their quotas.
 An instance of how the residents of the Warren district are responding to the call for funds for united war work was told at the offices of the conner cial club, where war work headquar- ters are made, yesterday. One of the districts citizens called at the head quarters for a button. He was in- formed by J. N. Gaines, county di- rector, that only those who had pledged were given buttons.
 Then give me some pledge cards" he demanded.
 He filled out two cards and tossed them across the desk to MT. Gaines.
 "I guess that entities me to two but tons," he declared.
 The two cards read for around 5000, divided equally between himself and his wife. He received his two buttons.
 The second meeting of the team captains and workers at regular lunch con will be held at the Y. M. c. A. lounge rooms this noon at 1 o'clock. At this meeting the first comprehen- sive report of the accomplishments in the district will be read when team captains will despond to the roll call with the total amount they have col lected and the number of pledges rep resented in this total. It is pointed out that the sum pledged is not the gauge for team work, but the number of pledges received
