GEM COUNTY IN THE
HONOR CLASS
Raises $500 in War Work Drive,
an Oversubscription of
65 Per Cent.

Gem County did herself proud ir
the War Work Fund drive, and has
gone over the top with an oversub-
scription of 65 per cent.
Tuesday evening, County Chairman
Finley Monroe reported to state head
qua cters a total of s7340. Since then
subscriptions have been coming from
distant precincts until Mr.. Monroe is
confident the total will reach $500
when the final report is made up to-
night. Gems quota was placed at
s45OO The oversubscription of so per
cent requested raised this amount to
s675O.
This record places Gem county in
what is known as the "Star Honor
Roll" A pleasing feature of the sub
scription is that there are only about
800 in pledges, the rest being cash.
The campaign was conducted in a
thoroughly business-like manner and
the organization was almost perfect.
Great credit is due Mr. Monroe for his
able and aggressive management of
the campaign.

NO box could hold our Christmas gifts for
him, no use in trying!
No box was ever big enough and this box
is SO small
Why, Mother laughed and cried and came in
to my arms signing,
And stood there, close against my heart
no box would do at all!
Why Sister Girl had made more things for
him than our contriving
Could crowd into that little box! And
Brothers got a pup
He aimed to send, and our least gift in spite
of all our striving
Is big enough to more than fill that box
and heap it up.
Why, just the mother-loving that must go
no box can hold it,
Could it be pent up in such space 'twould
swell and burst its bars,
1t is so bigger than the world-no tongue has
ever told it
Why it is wider than all time, and reaches
to the stars!
