Result OF Campaign Is An
nounced By Committee
On Thursday

The war savings committee on
Thursday morning gave out list OF
the honor precincts in the bipartisan
drive, those which took pledges to the
amount of three times their quota or
more AS seemed probable sometime
ago, the Leadership of the county goes
to jackson township with pledges OF
S23,4O9 against quota Of $2150. This
is subscription of 1880 percent, and,
it is believed, represents q record OF
all county war efforts to date. To w.
ii. Fry of Badensburg who is largely
responsible for Jackson's showing al
S ogoes the distinction Of leading all
the teams in the canvass. Fry took
pledges for $17,527. ,r,
Another remarkable showing is that
of Union township. Under the lead
ership of Fl. S. Workman, the Dan.
Vile Buckeye City district, consisting
of Jefferson, Union, and Butler town
ships, had practically sold its quota
for the year before the drive began.
Nevertheless, Union shows $50 percent
pledges, Brinkhaven 3S7 percent, and
Buckeye City 1923 percent. Jefferson
and Butler townships are also in the
honor roll and the War Stamp Com
mittee are of the opinion that IL Chair.
man Workman can collect his pledges
in full his district stands a splendid
chance of being the leading one in
the state.
Judged solely by the total Of pledg-
es taken, the honors of the drive
!. would go to Hilliar township. Hillfar
took pledges of s22,43O and Center.
burg for $14,179, or over $36,500 for
the township as whole. This is more
than Mt. Vernon and Clinton town
ship have thus far pledged together,
and reflects the highest kind Of credit
on the men who are responsible for
the drive in that district.
The Ony district, however. with a
hundred precent honor record is the
Howard-Jelloway district, Brown town.
ship standing sixth in the list and
Howard township twelfth. Consider
able difficulty has been experienced
in Brown owing to the closing of the
Jelloway postoffice where most of the
Brown township pledges were re-
deemable. DR.. ]. T. Reed of Jelloway
has, however, undertaken the work Of
seeing that the stamps are delivered
and with little extra effort, it is be.
lieved that the Howard-J Jelloway dis.
trict will attain an excellent state
rank. 1t is now second in the coun-
ty.
