has far exceeded its allotment in tho
Red Cross campaign, having more
than doubled its quota to date and it
is expected that when the campaign
comes to close this evening many
more substantial sums will have been
added to the fund. The quota for the
borough is $500 and on Sunday
morning approximately $3,50o cash
was on hand. This sum more than
meets the expectation of the commit

success Tag day was very success

thought, collected at least 5000 in

which each tagged" person respond
ed was very noticeable.
