    1. [MOHOWARD-L] Higbee News, Friday, 15 Nov 1918 (part 1)

    3. (Kathy's notes: The following is a HUGE list of contributors to the UWWF, and reads pretty much like a directory of who was living in Higbee and the surrounding area in 1918. For that reason, I have copied it in it's entirety.) Friday, 22 Nov., 1918, Vol 32, No 32--HIGBEE AGAIN GOES OVER THE TOP--Asked to Give $783.55 to the United War Work Fund, Digs Up$1,533.55--When it comes to backing up the boys, "over there," old Higbee doesn't take a back seat for any town on the map, big or little, but is right on the dot and then some. So far as we have been able to observe, she has been the first every time yet in the four liberty loans, the Red Cross, YMCA and Salvation Army drives to report her quota raised. That the citizens of old Higbee and vicinity are better givers than they are investors is proven by the fact that while they doubled the quota in the second and third loan drives, and went beyond the quota several thousand dollars in the first and fourth loan campaigns, they have always doubled, trebled, and in one instance quadrupled the amount they were asked to give. And they did it without a great deal of solicitation. The men in the mines did their full share in all of the money raising efforts as they have in the production of coal, thereby keeping the wheels turning, the employees of the Walton mine coming across with $311.50, and those of the Northern Central with $189.00. Below will be found a list of all contributors as handed us by Ernest Bryant, who had the campaign in charge. If any names have been left out it was wholly unintentional and if you will report same to Mr. Bryant or the News they will appear next week. Below will also be found the quota of the several school districts under Mr. Bryant's charge and the amount raised by each. J. T. BOWEN, $5.00 J. A. BARNETT, $20.00 A. L.
