GUT DOWN LOCAL
BOOK FUND SHARE
South Bend Need Raise Only
$3.50 Says National
Headquarters.

Although "a report just received by
Mayor Keller from the library war
council al Washington stating that
the share South Bend is expected To
contribute 20 the &1,O00.00O fund is
only $3.50 apparently based on
the 1910 census). the committees
In charge OF the local campaign de-
cided last night that they neverthe-
less would make the effort 20 raise
the $500. which was the former
amount they expected TO contribute.
With the campaign coming 10 a
close Sunday night the money con
tinues TO come in slowly bat surely.
According 10 opinions expressed last
evening at the meeting If the peO-
pie of South Bend do not come
across" a little more generously the
camPaigners may be forced 90 resort
10 S2.CSO as a basis of contribution.
The latest reports show that just
S66250 has been collected toward
the fund. Those on the committees
say that they are sure OF getting
1900. while II the 1900 school
children average "a dollar apiece
they have bright prospects of bring
ing the fund up 10 $500
As yet the wholesalers and manu-
facturers have not been asked TO
contribute and il is thought by the
committees that this perhaps ac-
counts for the fact that the fund
mp TO date is only between six and
seven hundred.
According TO Forest Hitler. who
IS one of the active workers i'm the
campaign. a report OF amount col
lected for the fund will be sent into
headquarters az Washington some
time today.
