LINCOLN COCNT.V 910.000 OVDIl
TOP IN UUD CIIOSS nillVE,
Chairman Dlxpn stated last evening
that indications werd that the Bub
scrlptlonB to the Red Cross drive In
Lincoln County will aggregate $27,000
or $10,000 greater than the quqta. While
there are quite,, a jtumbor of districts
yet to report, "those which have report
ed have nearly all gone over the top
and figuring that those yet to hear
from will do as wll as those which have
reported, thO claim of $10,000 over the
top does not seem overdrawn, especially
when It Is considered that North Platte
"alone Is $7,000 over Its quota.
