THE TIME IS SHORT
And The Need is Great For Prompt
Action. Do it Nov!

The daily banquets of5the Penn Col
lege Campaign held at noon in the
NJ. &c. church are largely attended and
are occasions of considerable interest.
Besides most excellent dinners and
musical entertainments, experiences
and reports are given by the workers.
Yesterday, Taylor Kalbach favored the
assembly with fine clarionet solo that
brought hearty encores. The rank of
/ Cap. Gen. has been raised TO Colonel
so that the leaders of the four squads
lof volunteer workers are distinguished
now by that title and the other Offices
are designated as captains.
Though the weather has been almost
Iunbearably hot and sticky, the plucky
and earnest bands Of men and women
have gone to their labors with zeal and
have accomplished considerable.
Each Captain assures everyone that
he has the finest team ever" and oil
course he is right 1t would be impos
!sihle to find anywhere, more conscien
;tous and intelligent workers than arc
in the several teams now actively
gathering subscriptions for the Penn
e.. College 100000 Fund.
Penn greatly appreciates these ,un
selfish efforts of folks who are actually
neglecting their own business and
homes and undergoing many physical
discomforts. The workers thoroughly
: realize how serious the situation is
and are thying their utmost to i'm
press the public with the great i'm
portance of Oskaloosa doing her part
E,,l tnnnnln thny pal
upon have many minds, many crit
cisms. many judgements, and there Is
some cold Indifference But they also
find the silver lining, often a small
Subscription is received from q maj
or woman who cannot afford perhaps
should not give. This gift represents
a real sacrifice, means undoubtedl!
that some one most actually go with
out some of the necessities Of life. On
very hard working woman said, i car
mot afford 10 give anything, but low
Perm College and rather than have he
D go will scratch for her for all an
worth and dig up something" 1t il
that spirit that can and viii save. 70
Ogkaloosa. Penn College. Some have
| given pledges for 500 which means
hundred days of hard toll. ID. .'r
, If Penn College is permanently es
I tablshd upon such gifts It will foreVe
rem ain a memorial of the SACRIFICES
I toll and love of all tho people VIII
Ccniributed. But such an institution
is we'll worth winning and will contir
\ ually pour back, not only blessing
!. upon the givers, but profit material
J TO this city and county. No create
llvcrk can any man do than TO estal
llisl. and maintain an educational u
D stitutioIE Especially is it true OF ia
: College that takes the pOung at tina
Icrucial age when the future depend
upon the knowledge and training r.
d ccived.
G But a very few days remain for tn
q gathering of subscriptions in Oskalot
sa. If this city Is TO give $l5OOOO a
il must 10 insure success of the can
g Taign, all who will subscribe must sc
II to it that the workers receive .thoi
p pledges before the end Of the prcser
., week. Surely everyone has given du
T. consideration to this most importar
:. project and now is the time to &C
, Every subscription given encourage
r, someone else to give. The larger tn
r amount the more others will give
IS Several large gifts are required an
q. hundreds of small ones and all mus
be handed in to headquarters in tn
p next few days.
c The workers are now well traine
p. and are to be congratulated on tn
c harvest they have thus far reache
n from this time on their efforts must
II rcdoubled. There is still much to d
IT ard but little time to do 1t. There wi
10 be some citizens of Oskaioosa who's
&c Lares have been overlooked and
&C the are not called upon they are r
n dueGted TO notify the office, by 'phoT
no. 10000 by letter or to call.
Vt Again and again it must he told tht
~ the full amount OF 100000 must I
