munity and district workers in the
United War Work drive that Round
Up day was dawned, and that each in
dfYiduai worker is expected to set out
and round up all subscriptions which
have not heretofore been secured in
this drive.
The lethargy that naturally devel-
oped when the long strain was sud
denly relieved by the announcement
OF the conclusion of the world war has
enve!oped a number of the war work
ers with the result that they have
laid down On the proposition and for
this cause the drive is tagging consid-
erably. It will require the combined
efforts Of every worker to put this
quota over in the prescribed time.
The noise in the morning occasioned
by the bells and whistles will not only
be the signal for workers to get busy,
but will be the signal for belated sub
scriberS to get out their check books
or bill books and make without FUR
Ether delay liberal subscription in or

County Chairmen R T. Cunning
ham and Mrs. Clarence W. Watson
and City Chairmen John S. Scott AID
Mrs. L. n. Tost are leaving no stone
up1urned In order that the campaign

day night so that the good news may
be dispatched to Huntington, the state
HEADQUARTERS, that Marion county has
gone over the top and subscribed an
amount fifty per cent. in excess OF the
quota first allotted to the county.
In order to accomplish this every
thing must necessarily be speeded up

attend the meeting tonight and get
the inspiration which will be there

and Marion county VIII go safely over
by Saturday evening.

eight o'clock, the time set for the
