WELSH WINS ALL DRIVES

LEADER OF DEFENSE WORK IN THIS COUNTY GOES' OVER THE TOP x County Chairman Welsh, of the County Council of Defense, has a way of doing things that is very effective. It seems that every demand he makes is promptly granted, and the work in this county has progressed splendidly under his directions. Monday he went before the county commissioners. He asked them to j rent the armory for the local militia company, also to provide a room for the Red Cross and to permit a large bill boayd to be erected upon the court house square for patriotic display. All of these requests were cheerfully granted and this will all help, materially, in the work the council of defense is required to do. The meeting Wednesday is to be a very important one and all should be present and co-operate with our efficient chairman in his efforts to do all that can be done to win the war.
