It was the Jackson Herald, of Ripley, W. Va., of which Sattis Simmons is publisher. So enthusiastic was the re sponse of the people of Rip ley and Jackson county that the quota of 1700 cords for as many local boys in the service was passed in a few weeks. To date, Ripley has cut more than 2200 cords of : pulpwood, or better than a cord and a quarter for ev ery boy in service and has sold on the stump and pled ged to cut an additional town has developed a new industry as a result of the local drive. The new drive aimed at cutting a cord for every lo cal boy in the service, if successful, will put the Vic (tory Pulpwood Campaign |Over the top and definitely# avert the 2,500,000 cora shortage which threatens military and essential civi lian requirements.
