Worth County Wins Again.

Worth county has surely made an
enviable record during and since the
war in every activity, having gone
100 per cent and won distinction in
almost every instance. Mrs. E. X.
Pitman, who was in charge of the
postwar drive for the Y. w. C. A.,
which was held last summer, has re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Blaise, of
Mason City, who is in charge of this
district, sayino that Worth county is
the only 100 per cent county report
ed from state headquarters. 1t will
be remembered that the matter was
taken up during the Chautauqua ses-
sions and the quota raised in very
short time.-NOrthwOO Anchor.
