Boys Pledge Selves to Give 12 Per Cent of Fund

'fiighty-two Jasper county boys havfe pledged themselves to give ten dollars each toward the 'Jasper county Y. M. C. A. fund. The county has been asked to subscribe $7,000 toward this fund, therefore the sum given by the boys will amount to about 12 per , cent of the total sum asked for from this county. The boys are working under the direction of Rev. E. W. Strecker, and the latter reports that they are making fine progress. Each boy is required to earn the amount for which they have pledged themselves, and Rev. Strecker urges that all of our citizens, who have any work to do, hire these boys.
