A TATOL OF <218,000 HAS BEEN THRILLING PHASES OF THE
RAISED- WITH OSS PEOPLE GREAT CONFLICT SHOWN IN
SUBSCRIBING. “AMERICA'S ANSWER."
Stripped of all Prills and furbelows
the speech of Hon.. Chas. B. Crisp Fri
day afternoon Was a direct, straight-
from-the-shoulder shot designed to
stir the blood of every red-blooded
American in his presence. The audi
ence that greeted the speaker was
comparatively small, smaller 'than it
should have been compared to the
large number of people who were as
sembled in town and remained out
side looking for the. promised squad
ron of planes that never came.
It was indeed a misfortune that any
should have counted the flying of a
few airplanes of more importance
than the message of a man who is a
part of the vital human machinery of
i message which everyone need
ed to hear and particularly those who
were too indifferent to be present
The address was a statement of
facts, a strong, appeal to the reason
and intelligence, of his hearers for
their unfailing support of the govern
ment in the prosecution bf war. Mr.
Crisp was given an attentive and ap
preciative hearing by those present
Before long Dooly is to be given the
chance to contribute to a fund which
will be used for a punrpose so mag
nificent that every individual will
count it a privilege to have a part in
swelling this fund to even a more
enormous proportion than that which
has been designated by those sponsor
ing the campaign. The proposed
drive will be known as the United
War Work Drive and the funds
cured are to be used for the social
moral and spiritual welfare of our
men overseas and in'the camps.
Already the organization for the
conduct of this drive in Dooly has
been formed and the present indica
tions point to a most successful cam
paign.

Aa is generally known, the pro

possible for her to feed' her cattle, so
ranchmen are anxious .to soil at

time. The prices this year will range
from 98 to 910 per hundredweight.
The Government Administration of
