Arizona republican., 1918-11-15

Official reports to state headquarters for the United War Work campaign show total subscriptions to the welfare fund up to last evening of $25O,362. Be cause of the rain, which was general, the day did not add the sum to the states total which had been hoped for. Maricopa county, however, added $1O,- 900 to it's total and now is credited with having raised s43,500 or 75 per cent of its minimum quota.
 There is some misunderstanding with regard to quotas. When the drive was first planned, the budget of the seven accredited war agencies banded in the name of United War Work campaign showed minimum need of $170,500,000 for the entire United States. Under that budget the Arizona quota is $306,O0O.
 It was soon found that the amount asked would be far too small to do the work desired, and when peace came the demand was even greater, for while the cost of war goes down as does the cost of the mercy service of the Red Cross when war is over, the cost of welfare work mounts, for the men have so much more leisure and need so much more to occupy their minds than while fight ing.
 It is now hoped to raise quarter of billion in the United States for the work in the next 12 months of these seven war work agencies. If this larger sum is to be raised, the quota for Ari- zona will be s459,000 Thus the state is still S209,000 under the increased quota asked.
 Maricopa Workers Still Sixth.
 In spite of extraordinary efforts yes terday Maricopa failed to advance above sixth place in the list of counties. Pro- portionately the order of the six top counties is Pinal, Greenlee, Yavapai, Cochise, Gila and Maricopa. Graham county is at the bottom of the list hay ing reported but per cent of it's quota raised. Santa Cruz has nothing to brag of with only Il per cent of its quota reported as collected.
 South Is Doing Fine Work. The department of the south, through Associate Campaign Manager W. H Day, has wired Campaign Manager C. H. Buchner of the Arizona headquar- ters as follows:
 The campaign is making good prog ress in spite of the victory celebration Arkansas wires that 50 per cent of its minimum quota is subscribed and that the sun is shining there. The worst | lChtH COunIleS III lcAdS dTt already over their quota.
 One county in Georgia with a quota of s3,000 for both the whites and the colored people found to it's great sur | prise that the colored folk had raised the entire amount themselves. Ont North Carolina county with a quota oi s14,000 for whites and colcred combined had a novel experience. The negroe: misunderstood the matter and raised the entire $I4.000 themselves"
