War Fund Chairmen Socn To Have i
Meeting To Plan For The Pro
posed Dig Drive.
As soon as the quarantine is
raised every county chairman of “The
Farmers’ Give-A-Bushel” war fund
in the state is to call a meeting of
the school directors in their county at
the county seat and to see that the
leading citizens of each township in
that county are in attendance at this
meeting, when township supervisors
ought to be selected and then the fi
nal campaign will begin in earnest.
Within the next eight days after that
meeting it is expecte that every
township in the state will be thor
oughly canvassed and that every
man, woman and child will be given
an opportunity to donate a bushel, or i
the value thereof, and we do not be- j
lleve that, if this proposition is prop- |
erl explained, there will be found a j
single slacker in this state. If you
have not a bushel give the value.
Let no man fail to exhibit to the
world that he is a patriot. Bear in |
mind that the gift of our bushel is
not a donation to the government but j
to the boys who are closing up brok- j
en lines on the western front. There !
is scarcely a citizen of our state who
has not, from week to week, followed j
this dotted line of death and its |
changes from day to day and tells of
the carnage of death that is gripping j
