Charles D. Wood of the University of

NOVEL PLAN TO RAISE MONEY.
Logansport Children March Through
Streets Carrying 81 Each.

Logansport, Ind, May 29.-One thous-
sand school children marched through
the streets here, booming the project
to obtain $4,000 for the purchase of a
suitable site fore a new Y. NJ. c. A.
building. Schools were dismissed at
1890 A NJ, and the pupils formed in
line and marched through the business
district of the town.
A novel plan has been devised to OBJ
tain this fund. Every person in
Logansport VIII be called upon to give
$1-no more or no less. Almost every
student in line this morning carried a
dollar in his hand. and according to
the prearranged plan, deposited the
dollar in the local banks to the credit
OF the Y. NJ C. 4. $4,000 lot fund.
Hundreds of older people followed the
example set by the children and the
receiving tellers in the different banks
were busy all day taking in the dol
lars. The public is responding nobly,
and it is believed the entire $4,000 will
have been raised by Saturday night
A new Y NJ c. A. building is q
necessity here. Recently the railroad
Y. NJ c. A. and the city Y. M. c. A.
merged, and now the present quarters
are too small for the growing organi-
zatioa. The local Y. ii. G. y. has Il
band, an orchestra. baseball, basket
ball and football teams, and is now
developing runners. Almost daily q
number OF members start out from the
clubroum and make runs into the
country. The members are enthusi-
aStic, and Logansport people are eager
to provide good home for growing
youths. 1t is planned that the build
ing will be one of the best Y. NJ. c.
