is leading this campaign called first
upon Division c., Mrs. Maud E.. Hollis
ter, chairman. The ladies on every
team gave a most excellent report, far
out distancing any work which has
been done by that division and the
roof was nearly raised when the final
reports were made. Division G turned
in forty-seven subscriptions amount
ing to $1;720. The high team again
was No. IL ~captained by Miss Nellie
G.. Bishop. Miss Bishops score was
$3.50 although h had a close second
in team No. 10, Mrs. J. O'Shea captain.
Mrs. OShea's team reported 1915. Inn
mediately following this, Chairman
Morton Page was called upon for the
report of Division B and an excellent
report it was. Every team is in the
game and every team doing excellent
work. Captain j. p. Hardy of team
No. 7 who had won the banner every
evening, dropped into third place hav-
ing been defeated by both teams No.
8 and No. 8. Capt. B. G. Tenneson re-
ported $476 as against Mr.. Hardy's
$4OO. Team No. 8 won the banner
however, and reported $3.50. This re-
port was no sooner given than Cap
tain Hardy was demanding recognition
and issued challenge to the winners
of the pennant. Mr.. Sweetland an
nounced that his team unanimously
accepted Mr.. Hardy's challenge and
keeps today. Real pandemonium
broke loose however, when Chairman
Loomis made his report. The banner
had been led by team No. 4, F. v.
Hutchinson captain but while Captain
Hutchinson made a splendid showing,
he was not in the game with the other
teams yesterday. The reports of each
team were so excellent that it Is diff
hcult to name n above the other
but h banner vas won by team No.
5, j. w. McHose captain with $3.50.
Not to be outdone, Captain Hutchin-
Son backed unanimously by a strong
team, issued a challenge to Captain
McHose, who, not without some hest
fancy accepted this issue and there
will be a battle royal on today between
these two teams. The executive COM
mittee had an excellent report with
ten subscriptions, $2,725.
Ladies in Earnest.
Not to be outdone by Divisions A
and B, Mrs. Maude E. HOLSTER the
chairman Of Division C, had all her
workers out early this morning and
the ladies, as usual, will give a good
account Of themselves and it would
not be surprising If the banner went
to Division c and that neither OF the
contesting parties had a look in" for
it.
No Angel in Campaign.
After the report last evening, the
campaign manager assured the. work
ers that the rumors to the effect that
there would be some good angel to
make a large contribution at the end
of the campaign to save the day. if
necessary, were absolutely unreliable.
This campaign will win or fail on it's
merits. No one has any large con-
tributions up his sleeves and las far
as 1 am concerned" said Mr.. Hocken-
bury, 81 would rather prefer to see
the campaign fail than to see the citi-
zens Of Fargo lie down on a few liber-
ally disposed citizens" Fargo COL
lege is for the entire community who
in. turn ought to have their share in
assuming their burden. We want a
subscription from every person in the
community be it large or small. After
all, gifts differ in degree not in kind.
Trustees Liberal.
It was learned today that seventeen
Of the trustees of Fargo college have
thus far contributed $27,5 500 of the
amount raised. These men have
therefore, shown a splendid example
Of interest and sacrifice. If this cam
paign fails and Fargo college closes
its doors, it will not be because the
trustees have failed to do their share.
Following the reports last evening,
Chairman Stone called upon Judge
Chas. A. Pollock, who in a few well
chosen words, congratulated the men
upon their work and spoke briefly
concerning the value of a small col
lege. Judge Pollock said-that Fargo
