War Savings Stamp Meeting
Friday evening.Juiie 29, a War
Savings Stamp meeting was held1
at the Lsis theatre in the interest J
of the drive for the Indnjnidenee'
quota. !
C. "Y. Rarriek acted ns eliair-'
man of the meeting and delivered
a very effective appeal for the:
war cause.
Miss Gladys Irvine sang .sev
eral solos in lier usual irtistie'
and patriotic manner. Kev
Yarnes spoke favoring the e;mse
and the editor of the Monitor
gave a few statistics on the state
and county activities in recent
war drives. Mr. Frank Dickson
and II. 8. Wood had charge of
signing up of pledge cards for
money. Several Independence
people have swl'serihed the $1000
limit. i
The state and county hav
again gone over the top and our
record is good. The percentage1
of people taking bonds has not
been as hicrli in Polk ns in some
counties, but our amounts 'in:
cash subscriptions have been well
to the frotii in totals, thus many
have given more than the average :
gives in the state.
