War Savings Quota Allotted to Grayson Co
Emery Wiley of Denison has been appointed War Savings Chairman for Grayson county and will organize the county like the 1918 campaign. The 1920 quota is 728000 dollars, a near fifty percent reduction from last year as an educational drive seeks universal participation. A twelve year old was arrested for wheel theft and turned over to juvenile officers, while reports of petty theft and mischief by boys prompt calls for parental and police action.
