At neither of the drives was a request made for the 25 per cent which might have been returned for home use, as the Finance Committee always had the cash provided ahead for use. All of the departments went "Over the Top" for every request from National and State headquarters. Many letters of thanks were received for the same and also letters from the state inspectors of work, as to the quality sent and all accepted.

Officers elected for second year, beginning June 1, 1918, were: O. S. Renfro, chairman; Mrs. J. Leppla, vice-chairman; Mrs. Edward Birdsall, secretary ; Wm. Mclntyre, treasurer.

O. S. Renfro resigned and R. G. Easley was appointed in his place. Mr. J. Leppla moved from Chadron soon after election and Mrs. C. L. Eason appointed vice chairman. Wm. Mclntyre moved from Chadron and Edward Birdsall was given his office.

The above and foregoing report approved by me, this 10th day of May, 1919.

( Signed) Robert G. Easley, Chairman Dawes County Chapter.
