DOUBLES QUOTA

Following the Meetings Held Last
Sunday Big Drive All Over the
County Brings Wonderful Results.
Campaign Still Progressing and no
Limit Set to Total.
With nearly all parts of the county
rallying to support Of the boys at the
front. Laurcns county's minimum ap-
portionmcnt for the Hundred Million
Dlliars Red Cross fund is already
passed and as someone said yester-
day: There is no telling what the
total will be-. Contributions of large
ana small amounts have been show
cred upon the solicitors so that the
total for the county is already around
$4,000. The Laurens chapter with
It's branches has reported over $1,000
and the report from Clinton last night
was that $4,000 had been raised in that
city and the campaign is hardly begun.
Chairman Todd. although he has set
no limit to what Laurcns is expected
to subscribe before the campaign is
over. has limited that $4,000 is prob
ably less than what he may be able to
report: The county's minimum ap-
portionment is $4,000, Of which I.au-
rcns and its branches were expected
to raise $11. 900 and Clinton and its
branches $1,000.

Income tax blanks are being

collectors as soon as 1 receive them.
They are being printed and sent
to me as rapidly as possible by the
commissioner of internal revenue.
A careful study of the reports
from my field deputies and from
his banks throughout this district
show that with the month of Jan
uary gone and only the balance Of
February left in which to make a,
report, the number of people in
North and South Dakota who have
made inquiries in regard. to this
law is surprisingly small.
most urgently request that you
states and feel sure that unless
the banks, newspapers. farmers
and employers Of labor take hold
of this matter and urge all those
that they have reason to believe
should make return to do so,
thousands of people will suffer the
penalties of the law after March
first.
Payment of the tax at the time
return is made will be greatly ap-
preciated by the government.
I most urgently request that
you do everything in your power
to see to it that your neighbors
and associates are fully advised III
regard to this law.

The school very fittingly cele-
brated the birthdays of American =

ton, last Tuesday morning at the

a very able and patriotic address
by Senator w. E. Purcell. His
address was thoroughly enjoyed
by the school.
The game last week on Tuesday
night was won by the A. G. by the
score of Is to IL. Owing to the
great difference in the ages, and
experience this is much better
score than We could have hoped 10
make against the A. G. Our old
star. Louis Anderson was on the
A. G. team.
DO not forget the Triple Patrio.
tic program advertised last week.
The time is "Wednesday, February
20 at 8:15 p. M, the place is the
S. S. S. gymnasium and the pro-
ceeds will be donated to the Rich
land County Red Cross. Tickets
may be procured at Writings drug

moneys worth.
