900. Georgia has jumped from fifth
to second place since the December
1st report, with $351,5sO raised. The
other five states have also over-sub-
scribed their quotas, in the following
order: North Carolina, Alabama,
South Carolina, Mississippi and Flor
ida
A national increase of $2,OOO,OOO in
subscriptions this month is estimated; !;
$50,153,054 being the countrywide
total previously reported. This $17,-
100000 over-subscription has saved
the day for the Army "Y." Before
the War Department made known it's
additional calls upon the Red Tri-
angle, its budget for nine months end
ing June 80, 1918, called for an ex-
penditure Of $35,O0O,00O.
1t can be roughly estimated now
that $2O,000,000 of this funl will be
spent for work among enlisted men in
the United States. The budget Octo-
ber 1st estimated $11, 100000, but de-
mands since have nearly doubled. An
equal sum will probably be spent
overseas with the men Of the Ameri-
can army and navy; the original bud
get calling for $11,994,OO0. When
General Pershing requested the Army
"Y" to take over the cantcen service
in Franco, an outlay of $5,00OOO0
not in the budget was made ncces-
sary.
In France with our boys 500 sec
retaries will be used. About half
that number was previously estimat-
ed. There are now 500 secretaries

family, the words used by Mr.. Har-
kins being unprintable, the other
charges made by Harkins are lies, as
he ran as fast as he could towards
his house Harkins had pole with
a long hail with which he tried to
strike me and my boy, but I was too
quick for him, and I only gave him
the blow in self-defense: He de-
served more than he got, too, y,,sl,, :,
- He also told your reporter that he
had witnesses to prove the charges
he made. There was no one nearer
than a quarter of a. mile and that
was John Malmquist and he could
not have seen what took place. Al
ter the trouble, Harkins did go to
Blackjack and swore out warrant
for me and the boy. He swore that
my boy, Hiden, struck him with an
axe, which was also a lie. AS soon
as / learned that 4 was wanted |
went to 'Blackduck and pleaded
guilty and paid IA fine Of SIS and costs.
So far as Hidden Tell is concerned,
he didn't strike Harkins, although
he had good reasons to do"so. In

we'll as my self, trust you will give
