Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN
HAS BEEN STARTED
Box Butte's Quota for Y. M. C. A.
Fund is $2500 and Campaign
is Now Going On
At a meeting held Sunday for the purpose of considering the campaign for the raising of $2500 for the Y. M. C. A. war fund in Box Butte county, Ira Tash acting as chairman, informed those present that only a week was allowed to make the necessary effort, but that it was very probable that Box Butte county would be able to raise the full quota in that length of time. A complete organization has been effected, and it is the intention to give every individual in the county an opportunity to contribute something for this worthy cause.
Messrs. Atheny,
Gregory, Leavitt
and Warrick, of Scottsbluff, were in attendance at this meeting for the double purpose of assisting and being assisted in the encouragement of this class of work.
The work of raising $35,000,000 for the purpose of maintaining Y. M. C. A's for our soldier boys is an enormous task, and should meet with the hearty co-operation of every person in the United States. Testimonials of the soldier boys themselves are sufficient to cause even a miser to come through. Box Butte county will not be found wanting in this campaign and its results.
