She asks for general support tomorrow to put Klamath Falls over the top with the rest of tbn. The county quota Is $600. The work of raising the $300 outside the city is in tho hands of the school teachers and pupils, who report di rectly to headquarters. The amount raised outside the city, therefore, has not been reported. Five cents each from every man and woman and child in the county would fill the quota.
