FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN SIGHT
Work of Raising Money 70"
New Hospital Very
Satisfactory.
QUICK GIVING CLUE.
Atcxandrans. Now Elsewhere. Still
Heard From-Twcnty-Five Dollars
From Butte, Montana
QUICK GIVING CLUE.

The hospital work is going on IN
,,nrt satisfactory manner and the
thermometer on the score board rises
,.;,r As matter of course the
o1oounts received are not as large
each day as they were during the
first four weeks Of the campaign, but
the systematic work proposed by the
committee will unioubtedly result
raising the fifty thousand dollars
needed. - )
The contributors to the Quick Civ
ing club are urged to do as much
missionary work as possible and Sc
cure as many contributions as they
possib]y can, so as to AID to the daily
aggregate an: insure the $4,000 by
the end Of the campaign.
There is a large number of our
citizens who have not yet cont
buted ar: who doubtless desire to do
so, but have simply delayed throus
lack of time to come to headquarters
or through failing to meet one Of the
committee.
An application by mail to headquar
ters of the hospital committee at the
Chamber of Commerce would secure
literature in regard to the work an'
subscription blanks, or check maile
to arthur Herbert, Jr, treasu. !.
care Burke & Herbert would accom-
pish the purpose.
It can hardly be believed that there
is any citizen or corporation in tht
CITY of Alexandria who does not e
sire to be associated with this work.
The committee desires it explained
that whilst it has been stated that less
than 300 contributions have been made
they recognize the fact that every
contribution made through tn
Churches, Schools, Sunday schoc
and organizations is contribution b
large number, OF. children and grow
people, whose names it was impossible
to procure and publish. How
ever, the gift Of the little
girl who gave her penny, and tbs
old cook who gave her SIS in Fairfax
arf each child in the school and every.
one else who contributed to the fund
is as much appreciated as that OF
the largest donor to the fund and
probably was made with greater sacr
flee on: the part of the donor thar
those who gave a generous donation
from their abundance.
The chairman Of the executive
committee desires a meeting tonight
at 8; O'clock at the Chamber. Of Com
mcgee of all the committees, so as tt
take: steps to arrange for the closing
Cays of the campaign. Each member
of the committee is urgently request
ed to be present.
Among the contributions receives
this morning was one from M.Gcnz
berger, former resident Of AleXan
dria, now of Butte. Mont, enclosir'
MS check for $3.50, In his let: =, t
Treasurer Herbert, he says:
Having seen in the columns OF tn
Gazette that the people of my old tow
were endeavoring to rI,>e fuEd t
build a new hospital, I enclose m.
