Near ' East; ' Complete Canvass , To Be Made Before Feb. 17 i The big drive .in this county for funds for the relief of the suffering people of the Near East, will start on the 17th day of this month, and according' to the report of Dr. Roy A. Prudden, district chairman for the drive, everything is in readiness. Committees and individual workers have been appointed, and throughout the county every neighborhood and settlement will be visited. Although the amount of the quota is not large $5,500 for the county those in charge want the drive over with and the money in hand during the first few days of the campaign.
