WHITMAN COUNTY
EXCEEDED QUOTA
Contributed Nearly $1,000 More Than
Asked in the Recent United War
Work Campaign

AS county chairman of the United
War Work campaign, | wish to thank
the school boards. newspapers, dis
trict ahairmen and numerous assist
county has gone over the top in one
of the largest free will offerings ever
given.
Our campaign was greatly handi-
capped by the influenza epidemic,
which had taken several OF our work
ers and incapaCitated a large num-
Der OF others. News of the peace
terms was joyfully received on our
opening campaign day but false i'm
pressiens were given cut by some
daily papers predicting that the
money asked for would not be need
ed. This injured our subscriptions
in many localities.
The quota given Whitman county
was $52,S55. The school children
were asked to help in this as mem
bers of the Girls and Boys Victory
clubs Schools were closed but
through special efforts Of County
Superintendent S. f. Shinkle and
teachers of the county, $1827.62 has
been raised; a college fund was
raised amounting to $4,000, which
amounts, added to the amount of
$54,220.6S, raised by the school dis
tricts, make grand total of $59,-
348.30.
The liberality of the people in
moderate circumstances was notable
and deserves special mention.
With those who were able to give
and refused the entire assessment
levied upon them, also those well
able to give who cut their assess
ment, in many cases causing their
district to fall below its quota, pub
lie opinion and their own consciences
will have to deal. The committees
have filed list of these people with
the County Council of Defense.

Epidemic in City schools Causes Clos.
ing of schools and All Public
GatheTings-SiX Teachers
Arc Ill

The demon FLU has again made
its bow in the city of Pullman and
for the third time the city schools
are closed down, with a tight lid on
all public gatherings, including
lodges, theatres, chamber of com
merce and churches The disease
first made its appearance in the
schools the latter part of last week
when several students were stricken.
With the opening of the schools Mon
day morning a marked decrease in
the attendance was noted especially
in the eighth grade. where the at
tendance was only - per cent OF
normal. Investigation showed that
the big majority of the absentees
were down with influenza and the
order closing the schools was I'M
mediately issued. Two Of the teach
ers were suffering from the malady
and four more have contracted the
disease since.
All of the cases, according to the
physicians, are in mild form, al
though in some instances the pa
tients are running an extraordinarily
high or low temperature.
City Health Officer Kinney has
been unable up to the present time
to arrange a conference with the
county health officer to establish a
satisfac' DRY quarantine, but has him
self issued orders closing the
churches lodges, theatre, chamber of
commerce and all public gatherings.

Saturday to Raise Full Amount

According to figures compiled by
Chairman Metz Wednesday evening
the town has subscribed $459.44 OF
its quota OF 1855 toward the Armen-
ian relief fund and the country has
paid i'll $3.50 OF its quota of SAT-.
However, many OF the sub-chairmen
in the country districts will probably
not report until Saturday, but no
fear is entertained in regard to the
rural districts. Friday afternoon and
all day Saturday solicitors will be in
Pullman places of business to round
up the town folks, and in the mean
time subscriptions are being received
at both banks Everyone who has
not contributed should make it a
point to do SO before Saturday night.
The meeting in the interest of the
Armenian drive which was to have
been held in the Methodist church
last Tuesday evening was called off
at the request of Dr. Kinney, city
health officer, who thought it unwlse
to hold public meeting on account
of the influenza situation, although
at that time no order had been is-
sued This was readily agreed to by
the local committee. However, the
speaker, w. s. Pritchard, of Spo-
kane had the opportunity of address
ing the students during the assembly
hour at the college and also to speak
at the chamber OF commerce lunch
con Tuesday noon. He is an eXcell-
ent speaker, full of his subject, and
it. was unfortunate that conditions
were such that he could not present
his appeal to the community.
