TWenty-Seven Thousand Dollars
Is in Sight.
MRS. THOMAS HELPS.
Makes a Donation of Two Thous-
and Dollars.
Mr.. Coulter Says Money Will Ee
Raised.

The close of the nine day white ele-
plant campaign will take place at IL
O'Clock tonight and unless some strenu-
Gus work is done and number of per-
sons wax particularly generous, there
probably will be a continuance of the
campaign announced.
The workers will meet for a O'Clock
supper tonight and the morning viii
have arrived before the officials get
away from the office. There are sew
eral hundred workers doing Saturday
work, the high school students having
turned out in large numbers to assist
in happening the White Elephant.
DR.. F. L. Hayes, Senator George p.
Morehouse, and l. Gilberg were the
speakers this noon.
'I suspect" said DR.. Hayes, ION this
last day of the campaign. you will be
coming in contact with the kind Of
men who sit on the last seat in church
to avoid putting money in the contribu-
ton basket.
ct have gone after money and have
deRNoped this firm conviction that y
is not a lack of money that is lacking
when campaign does not succeed, but
a lack of the spirit to give and the
spirit to go after the money.
1.-The money is in Topeka. and it is
waiting for you. If you don't succeed
in gettinr- the last dollar by tonight
my first instruction in the English
language after I came to this country
was in a Y. M. c. A. building" said 1.
Gflberg. 1.-THE Y. NJ. G. A. and the Y.
w. c. A have a wonderful mission. 1t
is to take young r1en and young wo-
men off the streets. They build char
acter and th9t is the reason I am
working to fight the White Elephant"
THE church hadn't lived up to its
opportunities and there was demand
for the Y. NJ. c. A. and Y W. c. A.
which would take the young men and
MorehOuse. He spoke of the value of
organization and wished the workers
success in their enterprise.
Hasn't Given Up.
I'VE will have that $4,000 before
midnight, and that's certain" said j.
E. Coulter, who is managing the white
elephant campaign. Coulter is inject
ing that same spirit of must win in
to the work of every com nlittee and
the workers are pulling for more than
$4,000 that must be secured by mid
night to make the campaign a success.
Will they get it?
There was almost wild enthusiasm
this afternoon when the subscription
of Mrs. Jonathan Thomas for $4,000
was announced by a committee. An
other cheer arose when the Wolff
Packing company increased its sub
scription from $500 to $500. Then the
high school team came forward with
more than $500 in subscriptions and
the Y. w. c. A. workers invited the
rah rah boys to dinner.
The total subscriptions at noon to-
day is $27,02S.43. Subscriptions re-
ported at the noon session amounted
