The material, however, came in last night and to-lay to-lay and until the time of closing the drive, the members of the committee 3xpect to be busy in handing out the buttons and gathering in the dollars for the best cause on earth. And, loo, those in charge have found some difficulty dif-ficulty in getting help in the drive, many refusing absolutely to assist in the cause.
