Post off ice City Federation canteen unit. Miss M. B. Sayles In charge. The drive fn the state outside of Salt Lake Is evidently proceeding with a vigor equal to that being displayed In the city. Rich and Washington counties were reported re-ported over the top. making five counties coun-ties which have their quotas assured. Logan Goes Over. Logan's quota has also been raised, a telegram stating that the city had gone over the top Wednesday having been received re-ceived by Stato Chairman Heber J. Grant. Mr. Grant wired his congratulations congratula-tions to the people of the city for their loyal promptness. Logan Is the first of the large cities of the state, and probably prob-ably the first city of Its size In tho country, coun-try, to go over the top. The Utah Blllposthig company, nt its own Initiative, has completed the placing of twenty-four large billboards with largo posters carrying appeals for the united war work drive. the united war worlc drive and urging loyal support of it. Accompanying each float will be ten girls, who, at the end of the four-minute speech will receive donations from the crowd. They will, in fact, conduct much the same sort of a campaign as characterized char-acterized volunteer day In the fourth Liberty, loan drive, and big results are expected from their efforts. The organizations which will be represented repre-sented In the parade will be tho Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C.

Each will depict on its float tho particular activity ac-tivity it Is conducting in behalf of the soldiers in the battle zone, the men In the training camps and the women, who, either as nurses, munition workers or government employees, are helping to win the war. These organizations have been working hard for the past three or four days, planning plan-ning and constructing their floats. A strong, friendly rivalry has develpped among them to see which will "produce the most striking display, and the assurance is given that every float will be exceedingly exceed-ingly effective. Music to Be Feature. The soldiers from the university will carry the large flag which has figured conspicuously in previous war parades. Music for the demonstration will be provided pro-vided by a band of forty pieces, furnished by tho local musicians' union. A novel feature Will be twenty-four boy scouts, carrying "sandwich" sign boards, on which will be placarded appeals in be half of the drive. Employees of the Utah Biliposting company worked all night last night preparing these aid other banners ban-ners to be used in the demonstration. As tho parade leaves the Commercial club a cannon stationed In front of the postoffice will fire a shot.. This is to be known as the signal gun, announcing the progress of the drive. As each $100,000 Is raised this gun will be moved one block north and will fire a shot at 'each move. This means that tho shot which will be fired at South Temple will .denote that Utah has gone over the top. It is hoped to fire, not only the first, but the second sec-ond shot today. Yesterday more than 1000 ennvassers commenced an organized drive in both the business and residence districts for donations do-nations to the fund. Scattered reports received from them indicate that they met- with excellent success. Their complete com-plete reports will be given today at a luncheon in the Commercial club. Those In charge of the drive are confident that the total contributions reported today to-day will indicate that Utah has a splendid splen-did chance to finish the drive early r.ext week and be among the first states to go over the top.
