MORE MONEY is
NEEOEDfOR FUND
Obligations of The Argus Santa
Claus Are Heavier This
Year Than Last.
WILL YOU HELP THE POOR?
Everybody Lends Moral Support But
Small Contributions Are Not
General Enough.

More money than suficed last year,
will be needed this year, If all the
poor children in the city are to be
taken care of through the good Off
ces Of The Argus Santa Claus Fund"
said Miss Dina Ramser today and she
was corroborated by Miss Margaret
Giles. These two members OF the COM
mittee IN charge OF The Argus Santa
Claus Fund, are in position TO know
the needs of the city's poor and they
say that there are more children in
want this year than last.
Therefore, Mr. Goodfellow, 1t is W
to you to say whether or not these
children are to be made happy or ex-
tremely miserable this Christmas.
Probably there is not a man or woman
in this community who does not de-
sire that every child have reason for
a Merry Christmas, but the point is,
how many Of them will be thoughtful
enough to do their share towards &C.
complishing this end.
MONEY Is COMING IN.
Money is coming in every day but
were 1t not for the fact that most OF
II Is in large sums Of from s. to $25
the poor children of Rock Island
would receive little cheer this year
Apparently people who have not felt
able 20 give a s. bill, have refrained
from giving smaller amounts OF the
sum already collected there are
scarcely a dozen contributions of less
than IS. While of course this is moth
ing to grieve over, nevertheless il
the many good people of the city whc
could well afford TO, would put in just
81, the fund would reach a mark thai
would make Rock Islands poor chill
dren and orphans, the happiest in thC
world for n few days at least.
CONSIDERABLE SUM NEEDED.
Frankly speaking, more money il
wanted. Last year the contribution
amounted to about s175, and this yea
enough is assured already TO surpas
this mark. but even at that, more II
needed unless some are to be sighted
Misses Ramser and Giles have BIZ
plans for this year, they want to in
clude among the presents, such littl
necessities as shoes and stockings t
those who have none and these thing
cost money. Therefore it behoove
the good people OF Rock Island to as,
themselves whether or not they ar
willing to give the fund the assistanc
in a financial way that has alread
been accorded II in a moral way.
A CHu.D's APPEAL.

many letters received daily by Tn

SOME Contributions.
The spirit of giving was rampant in
the air yesterday and today. A prom.
inent banker brought in 500 to add
to the fund, and s well known con.
