C. A A call has gone out for autos !
that can be placed at the disposal of
the committee for even few hours
day in order to make it possible to
reach many people living in scattered
parts of the city. Give the use of your
auto and help in the good work.
SUCCESS Is COMING.
The spirit of the men today was a
guarantee of success that is to be won.
Rock Island is setting a new record in
the campaign business. 1t is certain
that Rock Island is ahead of Moline
SO far. Everyone can help by stick
ing to the job. Help the workers by
having a cheerful and generous re-
Spouse when they come to you for your
pledge. The old Island city never
needed good advertising more than
it does today, and never did it need
more than now the united effort of its
best citizens. The Y. NJ. c. A. propo-
sition is one on which all can agree,
and by such agreement, a new era is
to be ushered in.
TRINITY GUILD SERVES.
The dinner at the headquarters in
the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium at noon to-
/ day was served by the ladies of Trim
/ ity guild Of Trinity church. Their SER
vice was most efficient and everyone
was waited upon in short order and
the meal itself was ample and so good
that It was heartily enjoyed.
The guild members who waited on
tables were: Mesdames Sherwood,
Halves, Hall, ogden, Lindstrom, Car
ter, Williams. Tuckis, Tuteur, Houder,
Castetter, and Calvin, and the Misses
Mack, Potter, Chamberlin, Wheelan,
Johnson, Brown and Hauck-
Yesterday the ladies of the First
Baptist church served the dinner.
ONE FROM OUT OF CITY.
Particular interest attaches to the
announcement made today by G. c.
Blakslee of subscription from L. A.
Bowman, a young business man of
Chicago and former Rock Islander.
The gift, besides beng the first one
from out of town, comes from the
first man to make a donation to the
fund which was raised with great
labor to building the present struc-
ture. Mr.. Bowman was then only a
small boy and his donation was only
so cents, but II represented a weeks
wages and all he could give at that
time. In the interim, while prosper
, ing, he has not forgotten the Rock
Island Y. NJ. c. A. as the subscription
shows.
Because of many demands for the
name of the author of the campaign
song which was adopted at the Mon
day night meeting and which has at
tracted considerable attention since
that time, Mrs. H. S. Cable today con-
r fessed the composition. She compiled
the words TO go with the tune "Ev'ry-
i body's Doin' It" and the parody is call
ed "Everybody's Boosting IT.
