BOOTHS MAKE GOOD SHOWING IN
RED CROSS ROLL CALL; OUOTAsIS
YET FAR SHORT OF 100 PER CENT

Despite the fact that there are
many reports yet to be received
from the workers in Grady county's
Fourth Red Cross Roll call, the total
shown at headquarters, is less than
one third of the quota fixed and of
ficials are pointing out that unless
there is much better response on
the part of the public, this county
will make a decidedly poor showing
in the drive.
The total was boosted materially
Saturday by the work of those in
charge of the booths, which were
placed in convenient places over the
down town districts. Mrs. w. e.
Dwyer, who was the captain in
charge of the boths, reported $3.50
as the amount collected by the work
ers in the booths Saturday. Mrs.
Dwyer is in charge of the booths
again today and the workers were
out early giving promise that an
other good day would result.
Two more days will see the
booths in operation in the business
district, Mrs. Will Melton will have
charge on tomorrow and Miss Jen-
ME Williams will be the booth cap
tain on Wednesday.
According to reports from. head
quarters the total this morning was
$731, the quota for the entire county
being $4,000
The captains named to work in
the business district have practi- |
Iy all reported, leaving some of the |
residence sections captains to turn
N the balance of the reports from
he city. Officials are hoping that
he residence section reports will
swell the city total
No reports have as yet been re-
'eived from the county, despite the
act that much material has been
sent to the various rural school
districts and the small towns of the
county. 1t was expected that the
country reports would show a con
iderable total, but officials were of
he belief that the majority of the
iuota would have to be secured in
'hickasha. Now that this city is ap-
'arently falling down, there is gloom
mong the chiefs OF the drive as to
lhether Grady county can report
