The hundred-million dollars asked for by the Red Cross Or ganization of America under the supervision of the Congress of the United States met a most hearty response and Fulton Coun ty showed that she was possess ed of the spirit. The very short time in which the work was done and the late hour at which the work was taken up here most of the money raised was contributed by Ayr, Todd and the Borough-making a total of about $1300.00. That the other districts in the County would have responded just as freely if they. had been given the oppor tunity, goes without saying. We hopethey will not worry, how ever, for if the war continues for a considerable length of time as it may do, every citizen man, woman and child in the country will have an opportunity to "do their bit." The Methodist Episcopal Sun day schools in the United States took it upon tl.f mselves to raise $100,000 00 of this War Chest Fund, and on last Sunday the McConnellsburg M. E. school did, their bit" by making a con tribution of twenty dollars. As the average per school would be five dollars, the McConnellsburg school will help out some of those who may not be able to reach the average. When we went to press last week we did not .have all the names of those who contributed to the Fund, and published those reported up to Wednesday eve ning. Since that time the fol lowing persons have subscribed: Scott Tritle, $3 00; Mrs. Am anda Unger, 2 00; J. S. Ewing, 1.00; Mrs. Annie Fulton, 2.00; Geo. Miller, 50 cents; A. K.
