THE ENDOWMENT FUND
Work of Canvass in the Country is
Now to be Pushed.

The Penn College Boosters had a
meeting this morning and canvassed
the endowment situation pretty thor
oughly. About twenty fellows were
present and some encouraging re-
ports We're heard from various sour
ees. John Anderson has consented to
serve as general committeeman to
look after the canvass in the county
and a strenuous effort will be made
to do much of this work while the
weather will permit. The only two
townships in which much work has
been done are Lincoln and Cedar. The
Lincoln township subscriptions have
run close to $4,000. Cedar township
has given 1000 with the work not
more than half done. Ii is believed
that other townships will make a
good showing. Oskaloosa people
have subscribed about 100000 of the
$34 900, already raised and $4,000 to
So, 900 more will come from parties
who have not been seen or who have
not made their subscriptions as yet
The remaining $4,000 or $4,000
must come from the country. If all
the townships will do as well as Lin
coin, and as Cedar promises to do the
full amount will be forth coming. The
boosters have meet with many dis
couragements, and have encountered
many disappointments, but on thu
other hand they have found many
good friends of the college in unex
pected places and have been en-
couraged to push on by the friendl!
reception met with on all sides. j
is desirable that the full amount $50,
600 be raised as soon as possible. A
after this is done it Is eneumbant OF
the college to raise another $4,000
outside the county to make the loca
subscription binding. Friends of TIL
school throughout the county ar
urged to lend all aid possible to tn
solicitors, and to give as LIBERAL,
themselves as possible. And the eH
igences of the case demand 1t of al
to do 1t Now" &
