This is true in Mason county. Wheat
harvest has been on in full blast
throughout the county all this week
and the latter part of last week and
for this reason the precinct workers
here have been greatly hampered
however during the week the county's
subscription has been materially in
creased. Mr. Peed has not received
reports from all of his precinct work
ers but he says that the county Is still
far short Of their quota.
During the week that Is now left
Mr.. Peed is urging all of his workers
to do their best toward reaching the
quota. Folks who have not yet con
tributed to the Salvation Army funt
should assist the workers by calling
them by telephone and making theil
subscription.
