Behind With Job.
I'VE have had ample time In which
to do our job Mr.. Noyes said. Still
we're behind in doing it. I know there
are discouraging factors in going out
on the streets of Washington at this
time in search of money, but we must
get to work and complete our quota on
time"

immediate donations from persons who
have contributed heretofore, but have
delayed making their subscriptions this
