The United War Work campaign
closed last night as far as active soil
citation is concerned, although the
bank will take any further donations
tomorrow, All who have signed
pledge cards should bear in mind the
dates on which payments are to be
made at the bank 1t is hoped that
it will be unnecessary to follow up
the collection of pledges. The follow
ing figures are interesting:
Number Of subscriber, 1914;
amount given, $40, 407.10 (cash,
$6,971, pledged, $3,436); average sub
scription, 1872; average per capita
for the entire town, S3.15, based on
$500 population.
Also there are about 210 persons
who worked and subscribed out of
town, which on the average basis for
the rest of the town would have added
about $500 more. Credit for the sue
cess of this remarkable campaign is
due primarily to the loyalty and
generosity of the citizens, who knew
the necessity for helping the soldiers
and were glad to give freely The
canvassing committee deserves great
credit for the way in which the work
was laid out and followed through
