praise of Walter Johnson who died
Tuesday. Praise not so much be
cause he was probably the greatest
pitcher from standpoint of per

USO QUOTA REACHED
The good citizens and families in
Polk County who have given to
bring joy and comforts to our men
in hospitals and overseas through
the United Service Organizations
of our State and nation have every
reason to take pride and be glad.
You have given more than asked
for. In fact, your County Commit

$200 more than our .county quota.
This is a good thing. Because
some counties have made no effort
whatever to give and some others,
far richer than our own, have con
sistently sent in only pitiful sums
throughout the war. Perhaps what
we have done here will go a small
way to make up this lack.—R. C.
Erskine.
