As Stafford is only asked for fifty dollars as their quota to the fund it should not require much to go over the top. The Veterans ask the various societies of Stafford to make donation, also the school children, as no doubt many of them would like to give some of their Fourth of July money to the boys who are fighting for them. All of us here at home will -enjoy Fourth of July more when we feel that we have done our share to cheer the boys up lover there" who are facing death for our sake and for many of whom another Four of July will never dawn. Checks should be made out to F. W. Holt who is acting as treasruer for the fund.
