Figures are not available yet to
show the complete result of the
County War Fund Drive. Following
are the precincts in the county that
have reported to the county chairman
as being "Over the Top. City of
South Haven, Columbia, Almena,
Porter, Lawrence, Antwerp, Keller,
Hamilton, and Paw Paw. Some of
the townships were late in starting
and haven't covered their territory.
Others have made the drive, but have
fallen short of the quota. Those who
have not yet completed their work
must do so at once, and those who
have finished with a shortage, must
cover it again. The equalization was
based on assessed valuation, and each
precinct given a fair and just pro-
portion Of the total amount to be
raised. There is no reason why
part of the townships should fall
down, while others go sailing "Over
the Top. All must reach their
quota. This is serious business. This
county needs S75,00000 for war pur-
poses, and each precinct in the county
must and will do its share. Van
Buren county will reach its quota.
Precincts that are yet behind will re-
double their efforts.
