great and worthy cause, except one
Thla one town failed to respond In any
way, even though five porsons wero
appealed to. In the same manner that
all others were who did their duty so
willingly. Regret very much to an

complete report, must explain why this
town Is omitted frbni"the nboVo list.

county In the state ot Kentucky, so far
to reach the desired quota of one dol

paign in this county was preceded by
Jefferson county, "Poppy Day" being
put on there on "Derby Day" in Louis,
vllle; Kenton county has failed, so far
to make the quota, "Poppy Day" being
In progress in Covington during our

Following is an extract taken from
a lejer written Dy our tsiaie uireciur
Miss Nancy F. Boudlnot, of Louisville,
after she was Informed of the promls
Ing results of Mason county's cam
palgn:
Let me assure you that you have my
greatest admiration and appreciation
for the splendid work done in Mnson
county. It Is worthy of our highest
praise. If your county goes 'over' with
the average of one dollar for each man
you had in the service you will be the
first one to do so. Out of fifteen coun
ties organized I have only four women
chairman."
The success of this campaign can
be explained by two words, "Loyalty"
and "Co-operation." I hereby wish to
express to each chairman and flower
girl my apreciation of their good work,
to the Press my sincere gratitude for
their co-operation In the publicity; to
the general public, for their vory lib
eral support of this great cause.
