All contributions arriving at the depots Jare being transferred to The Post build-ong by the Patrick wagons, ami vita the increasing bulk of local business.

It's the same, high grade shipments it would seem tnat an were readily complying with this request If there is doubt that shipments can made before November 3. The Post should be notified, that some other ar-, rangement may be made to core for them. In addition to contributions already '-made, many towns are writing The Post i they have underestimated the number of Judd Lewis certificates needed and are sending for more. These are given to all contributors as a token of their appreciation in aiding in the movement, and are highly prised. In many nearby towns and villages the number of offerings ready for shipment are just double the estimate submitted tv committees handling the work a few Slavs ago.

which Is proof that with the time limit for shipping growing short, whose intentions were unao- Bounced are making contributions. MOT. VERY ONE SHOULD BE iAS PROMPT AS POSSIBLE.

The picture Is an example of the very best in motography and aside from Its story Is one that is a source of delight to the lover of motion pictures.
