assistants to have charge of the American Red Cross War Fund Cam paign, held at court house Saturday afternoon was we'll attended, and the purpose and methods of carrying on the drive were fully explained.
 Chairman Eugene Cox opened the meeting with a talk on the necessity of the work, and gave the minimum quotas allotted to each township, stressing the point that all contribu- tions should be voluntary, and ex- press the confidence that Polk county would raise the $S,500 allotted in the week of the campaign and would go over the top in this as in other war measures.
 Talks were made by Minor Pipkin, J. o. Gates, Mark P. Olney, Dr. H. c. Rushing, Mrs. W. A. Warrington, and Dr. L. W. B. Long, all stressing the point that those staying at home should make any and all sacrifices for the boys who are going on the firing line. It was explained that all mon- eys received should be receipted for by the solicitor, and that the banks in Polk county were all depositaries for the fund, which, if desired, could be paid by the donors in four install ments.
 A new feature of this campaign is that each night the treasurer, Mir. Olney, is to wire to the St. Louis headquarters the amount received.
 After the matter had been fully ex- plained, the meeting adjourned in order that out-of-town delegates might catch the afternoon train.
