The older boys of Power county
have somewhat of job cut out and
waiting for them. They can't get away
with it by standing around and think
ing how patriotic they have been in
helping the government and the boys
"over there" Their job is to match
works with the youngsters who have
shown the faith that is in them by
their works, and their money.
c. IT. Torrance was appointed by
the state chairman of the United war
Drive to call on the Victory Boys OF
Power county and explain to them
the object of this drive and ask them
how much they would contribute to
stand behind the other Victory Boys
over in France. The result speaks for
itself, and shows conclusively that the
little fellows of the county know what
is doing. Kaurcha Yamasaki, the little
10-year-old Japanese boy, included in
the list below. hunted up Mr.. Torrance
rance and complained that he had been
overlooked in this matter and contrib
uted his dollar with good cheer, say
ing that he knew what was to be done
with it. If there are any other boys
is the county who have not been seen
by Mr.. Torrance who want to con-
tribute. Mr.. Torrance would like TO
hear from them.
The lightweight boys listed below
have subcribed a little more than a
seventeenth of the total quota of the
county which is certainly liberal sub
oriptiOn from them.

IF those who have cosspired
