ACT A. AGENTS.
TIE druggists will act as agents CT
the canva5sing committee. and will
handle the subscriptions in the same
manner as the committee members have
done. The subscriptions are payable in
instaIlmerts covering 4 period of five
years, and in this way a subscription o.
$50 amounts to but 20 cents a week, or
3 cents a day. The same ratio applied
to other amounts shows how compare
lively little such subscription is in
reality. Tie con,nittee has been aware
that the general public has taken a
great interest in the project to raise
The large fund for new factories. and as
many who were not included in the as.
sessmcnt rolls prepared by the commit
tee have desired to make some invest
ment in the movement. and become ac-
tive partners in the project. it was de
cided to open public subscription.
DONE ~ TMWRE HAITE.
Such a popular subscription was
opened at Terre Haute, and was sub.
scribed to by the citizens generally in
amounts ranging from S25 up. The re
suits are shown in condensed form in
the table at the head OF the column, ans
speak for themselves.
