ON FIRST

Team captains and solicitors in
the drive to raise $4,000 for the
Waterville Boys club met for sup
per at the Elmwood hotel last eve
ming to check up the results Of the

that. with every contribution in,
including those that were made be-
fore the drive started. the sum was
s15,OS2.50, leaving $4,000 to be
raised today if the drive is to go
over the top according to schedule.
David Armstrong had charge of
the meeting. He said that the
solicitors should not allow themselves
to be optimistic because the drive
was as yet far from over and much
hard work must be Forthcoming to-
day IL the campaign is to be a sue
cess. He pointed out the fact that a
majority of the large subscriptions
are already in and that small dona-
tons but great many Of them must
be gotten. Mr.. Armstrong did not
think that the size of the gifts made
during the day were in proportion to
the Importance Of the boys club to
the community. He stressed the
point that a donation to the boys
club was an Investment in the future
and the good resulting from it would
last for years.

man OF the drive. was spoken of in
the highest terms by the Massachu-
sets man. DR.. Hill is man past the
allotted three score and ten and he
insists that this is his last drive. or
as he calls it, his "valedictory."
Mr.. Armstrong cited many of the
kind and worthy things that DR.. Hill
has done and he said that the drive
should be made a success if the doc
tor is to be paid due honor.
Nat Fl. Barrows said that the $780,
600 that the men We're to 60 after
tomorrow was lot of money and
that If they could raise $4,000 he
would guarantee to get the other
$4,000 from among his friends.

They are without ques-

You can consistently

than to give it to them
only occasionally. They
are less likely to over-eat
