THEDONAHONS

MUST HEN Need of More Generous Giv ing if Boone h to Meet Its Quota. ONLY ABOUT $5,000 SO FAR PLEDGED Campaign Near a Close Many 'i Teams Must (Jet a Move On. THE RED CROSS SLACKER Professor S. H. Clark of the University of hicago scores the man who fails to give to the Red Cross war fund in the following words: "Anyone who can afford to and does not subsciibe liberally to the Red Cross hundred million dollar campaign is either heartless or wants Gcmany to win. Such people should be ostracised. Society should slam its doors in their fares: honest people should shun them; servants should refuse to serve them; tradesmen should refuse to do business with them; and mothers, fathers, sjsters, wives, and brothers, whose dear uses are fighting for their country, in the blood stained trenchea of Europe, should cross to the other side of the street when they appear." The total tabulated figures in the hands of the chairman now show thai t3,060 is the amount of subscriptions actually turned in for the Red Cro.s since the first of the week. The hulk of this amount is from Lebanon. Word was received from Zionsville last night that, following an enthusiastic meeting, Eagle township had g-cne over its quota. This means about $'.'70. The work in the out townships (rot into full swing today and reports are expected to begin coming in this evening and tomorrow. Now it seems that, unless the rural districts do some very excellent work. Boone county will have a very haul proposition in raising its quota of J12.WW, The total subscriptions turned in and reported by telephone now aggregate about 5,000. The outlook in Lebanon is very encouraging, and it seems now that h w ill ovcrsubscrihe its quota. Meetings of Captains.

The busiest cornel in Parl.i t'shiy may be said to be the Cnit. d States army headquarters in the Rue tie Constantino. Gen. Pershing is right in his element. Naturally a hard worker, he is now extending himself to get the greatest amount of labor accomplished j ithin the shortest time. Kverything pertaining to the preparations is being carried along upon a gigantic sca'e. It is evidenced from the work unilir way that the l'nited States is going into the war with all her might. Preparations are under way for the care of huge armies.
