by Which the Farmers of
This Section Can Help
the Needy.

Reports from Il of the so teams
that worked Monday, the opening day
OF the Good VIII campaign, TO collect
money for the South Bend Federation
for Social Service show that at least
S2.1O7.25 was obtained in money ana
pledges. The trustees OF the tedera-
ton do not know whether the talIure
Of the other teams TO report can be
taken 10 mean that they Corrected no
money on the first day.
Following are the figures for Mon
day: District No. ?, % pledges, SSZ'
district No. 3, three pledges, SIS; dls-
trict No. 5. seven pledges, $13.45: dis
trict No. two pledges, see; district
No. IA. IS pledges. $S2.75; district NO.
Il, one pledge. $25; district No. -
q pledges, $3.50; district NO. ~
eight pledges. $3.50; district No. 2l,
10 pledges, $685.; district No. %, 20
pledges, $50; district No. 30, 10
pledges, $24; trustees, $3.50.
Results of Tuesdays campaign
probably will exceed the previous
days collections by several thousand
dollars. Trustees Of the organization
think that all Of the collections OF the
teams that failed to report Monday
night will be in by that time. II the
other 90 teams collected as much as
their fellow workers on the opening
day, the showing will be good one.
Test to Publicity.
According 10 one of the heads or
the federation, the campaign this year
will be a test Of the value of publicity
for this kind OF work Last year with
a very short time in which to get or
gained and with very little publicity
for the campaign. $22, 900 was collect
ed during Good Will week. This year
every possible means OF advertising
the campaign and It's purpose has
been used. Posters, tags, buttons and
speeches on the street corners in sew
eral different languages have been
used TO get the thing before the pub
lie OF South Bend.
1t is hoped by those in charge of
the central office OF the federation at
the Chamber Of Commerce that all of
the teams will set in their reports by
o'clock This will not only help the
workers there, but will allow the re-
suits Of the days work TO be posted on
a large bulletin board that has been
provided for that purpose.
Workers Get Busy.
with better weather in sight for the
remainder OF the week than the col
lectors experienced on Monday, 1t Is
thought that the aim of the federation.
$4,000, will be achieved. Snow and
a cool wind made IL disagreeable
work TO try 10 see 1000 people, but
Tuesday afternoon there was "a change
for the better.
Unless It is seen by the latter part
OF the week that the federation work
ers will be able to secure the expected
amount. il is probable that an extra
corps OF collectors will be pressed into
service. Several extra teams prob
ably will be placed in the field in an
effort to get $4,000 for the benefit of
the city's poor. sick and needy.
Mayor Keller Has Plan.

a new Good Will week proposition
