Perkins, chairman of the finance commit tee, brought overwhelming re sults. 1.. ..... 4 "Were it not for the fact that the workers are not with us and their tasks have been completed one might easily believe the campaign was still in progress," said C. N. Wonacott of the Young Men's Christian Association last night. This, he said, because of the fact that contributions are continuing to come into headquarters totaling up to close of business yesterday $226,500. or $26,500 above the minimum quota of tne city. "We are still hearing from churches. schools and other organizations," said -nr. wonacott. "it was a wonderful drive and many Instances were re corded showing the deep Interest in the work.

This boy dug a sack of potatoes after school hours, and after great effort managed to get the sack Into position on his bicycle and took it td headquarters. Boy Calls for Help. "The sack was too heavy for him to carry up the steps of our building alone," said Mr. Wonacott, "so he came in and asked me If I would help him. He told of his hard work and expressed the hope that it would help some. His spirit was commendable in the highest degree and typifies the general senti ment prevailing. "There were other similar cases, such as high school girls going without new gowns, high school boys going without new overcoats and one woman who has been an invalid for years sent in a sub stantial contribution. "One girl wrote In Inclosing a check from Oregon City. She said her brother had written her from France saying: 'For God's sake,' if you ever have a chance to help the Y. M. C. A., do it.' The fact is, this drive was made a suc cess because of being supported by the people from the humble riverfront dwellers to the mansions on the hill. There were a great many small, but few large contributions, showing that practically everyone participated. Thanks Given Workers. "As manager of the city campaign, I wish to take this opportunity to ex press our appreciation for every con- ribution and I also wish to thank the workers who so faithfully have given freely of their time and talents to make the drive such a great success." First installment 20 per cent of the contributions will be due December 1. It is the hope of the local officers of the organization that sufficient checks will be received to enable the association to forward to New York headquarters $75,000 at once. E. H.

"I am sure that the vigorous American-Hellenism, which during the Bal kan wars helped greatly fighting Greece, will continue to play its part through this critical period. Hellenism must not forget that only if it has a deep consciousness of its obligations to itself will it be able to establish the new Greece on a firm foundation to take its honorable place In the as sembly of nations."

Hanan shoes have advanced less in price than other shoes, and yet their superior qual ity is unchanged. Many shoes that formerly sold much below the price of Hanan Shoes have been heavily advanced in price, with no improvement in quality, therefore you cannot now judge the value of a shoe by its price. Rather than sell shoes, of inferior quality at pre vailing; prices, we would not sell shoes at all but we know Hanan Quality, and we offer Hanan Shoes in full confidence that they are the cheapest shoes for you to buy.

All stock exhibits with the exception of horses were in greater numbers than ever before. The short age In the exhibit of horses is account ed for by the elimination of the night horse shows. Figures covering livestock exhibits are: Horses. 340 ;cattle. 727; sheep. 286; swine. 1522; poultry, 1650. "Our livestock show has been com mented on in the livestock journals all over the East and Middle West." Sec retary Lea said. "Letters are coming continually asking how we were ablu to assemble livestock exhibits of the quality shown and making further in quiry relative to our methods.
