MONDAY NOTES OF Y. M. C. A.

JASPER COUNTY IS SHORT ON THE AMOUNT APPORTIONED TO HER. . ■ Saturday’s Total to Report Sat. Night Lake Co. $22,369.855116,465.83 LaPorte 1,499.00 13,162.60 Porter 885.00 5,260.00 Newton 5,000.00 Jasper 500.00 4,000.00 Starke 578.00 1,725.00 Pulaski 56.25 1,056.25 That the total army and navy campaign fund in the first Indiana district will far exceed $150,000.00 was made practically certain by the reports received by District Campaign Manager A. B. Dickson in Gary Saturday night. Saturday’s totals showed the first district $459 ahead of the Indianapolis district in total amounts reported. Late Saturday afternoon the state totals stood $923,244, with the goal at $1,000,000. This gives every encouragement in believing that not only the first district but the entire Hoosier state will over-

subscribe its apportionment for this patriotic fund in the interest of our soldiers and sailors. Many places from over the county report that their quota has been largely oversubscribed. Two of Jasper county’s best farmers made a subscription of $50.00 each today. That’s good. Frank Nesius, of Jordan township, who had been on the firing lines in that township, made a splendid report today, the result of his own individual effort. Frank’s parents were born in Germany. Rensselaer and Marion township are short over SI,OOO of her quota Barkley township turned in less than Hanging Grove township lacks but a few dollars this morning and Chairman Bussell was sure that their quota of S2OO would be made up today. Kankakee, the second smallest township in the county, has subscribed $5lO. Newton township has fallen far short of her quota. Milroy, the smallest township in the_ county, has oversubscribed. Jordan will be oversubscribed. Their subscriptions amounted to $374. against an apportionment of 11350. Good for Union. Remington and Carpenter township reports that they now have $1,270 raised. Seventeen of the boys have pledged $lO and outside of these pledges the balance has been paid in cash except possibly SSO.
