Titus to Conduct Drive
Accordingly. Hazen j. Titus. the
man who conducted the successful
Red Cross drive last year, has been
named to conduct tobacco fund
drive here. Details of his plans will
be made later.
There are nearly a million Yam
KEGS in France now. To supply them
each with 25 cents worth of tobacco

of the national quota for this state.
Washington should give $500 a
