The report of the treasurer of the
war funds committee of Rock county
has been made public from which it APP
pears that the total subscriptions to
"Your Share Is Fair" war chest
amounted to SIT, 75O.66 in the county.
Twenty-Five thousand people or nearly
one-half the population of Rock county
responded to this appeal. There has
been paid out to the Red Cross and
other accredited organizations $57, 951.-
20, leaving balance of cash $103, 10. %
besides $40, 568.25 of short term notes
not yet paid still in the treasury. The
expenses of administration in printing,
| clerk hire, Office rent, ETC., etc., were
$685. II. The advantage of the plan
of ''Your Share Is Fair is now most
apparent to all. While other parts OF
the country were struggling with the
Red Cross drive, Rock county's share
of the fund had already been provided
for. The campaigns for the other war
benevolences will soon take place all
over the United States, but in Rock
county there will probably be no ad-
ditional campaigns put on this year,
for the simple fact that the money has
already been subscribed and for the
most part paid in.
