in about the same proportion. Besides
the teams that will be working during
the latter part of the week, there will
be benefit shows at several of the

taken in will not be secured. An av-
erage of more than $500 a day is
necessary to make this amount. The
aim this year is nearly double the
amount that was collected last year,
which means that the daily amount
must be twice as much as in 1914.
Captains and teams will meet at the
Chamber of CONNIE cree Thursday even
ing at 7:45 o'clock TO report on what
has been done during the week. Plans
will be discussed to put a whirlwind
finish on the campaign. All pledge

be made to make an extra effort to
secure money on them.
