EXPECT To RAISE
CENTENNIAL FUND
OF OVER $4,000
Subscriptions to Guarantee
Great Celebration in 0Ctob-

The raising of a guarantee fund
for the st. Joseph county celebra
ton oct 3. and in this city of
Indiana centennial of admission TO
statehood and of South Bends 50th
anniversary of incorporation as a
city will be undertaken next week.
How large fund will be guaran-
teed by the business interests of the
county is. of course, unknown but
those upon whom the duty of Great
ing the fund rests hope business in
terests will respond with the greatest
liberality. The chairman of the fin
ance committee is +. l.. Dennis who
is also a member Of the directorate
of the association in charge OF the
celebration.
We viii begin next week 10 raise
"a guarantee fund with which TO fin
ance the celebration" said Mr.. Den
mis- to the News Times today" I'm
der the plan we Will present TO the
business men we propose 10 create a
fund of not less than $4,000. II
the total of subscriptions does not
amount 10 $4,000, then all subscrip-
tions will be void and we will have
to start over 10 raise a fund of such
amount as business interests are
willing to give We are hoping
however. that we will be able to
create the fund without difficulty
and ! believe we will, judging from
indications. one member of our
directorate is simply waiting to
place several subscriptions on the
list, prominent business men having
authorized him TO do so. one OF
these subscriptions is for $500. The
others are for less. but not below
500.
Expects TO Raise Fund Quickly.
This appeals TO me as a strong
indication of the spirit in which our
finance committee will be received
especially as these several subscrip-
tons are unsolicited At that rate
it is easily seen that we should raise
a fund of even more than $4,000
quickly. Forty business concerns
guaranteeing $500 each would pro-
vide the minimum. but we much
prefer to spread the guarantee fund
over the entire county. because we
want every business man to feel
that he is a part of the force back
of the event, as he is. and TO show
his interest in and loyalty 10 the
great state of Indiana We do not
want anyone to subscribe cent more
than he can afford. but we do desire
that each person show the utmost
liberality.
