HANGING GROVE

The Y. M. C. A. team put Hanging Grove township across the tape.by noon Monday, with her quota of $200.00, by a safe margin. A few from here had paid in at Rensselaer which we will get credit for, this putting us over the top in good shape. The chief charatceristic of this campaign was that the entire amount was raised by small subscriptions, which represented practically every family in the township, thereby giving everyone a place on the great roll. Beyond a doubt we will be called upon to lend our every effort to sacrifice, and put ourselves in the first line trenches at home. ;■ Responsibility for our action lies with us, and denial to our selves makes us stronger and better for it.
