BOYS TO BUY FOOD
Y. M. C.. A. Opens Campaign In North
Central Iowa High Schools To Raise
$4,000 to Feed Prisoners in Germany.

&fyUVV TO eco FTISONSTS VI SSTN1dNys
AS q part of national campaign the
high schools boys of this and six other
nearby north central Iowa counties are
to be asked to enlist in movement to
provide $4,000 worth Of food for the
prisoners of allies in Germany for the
next ten months. Boys Secretary E. E.
Mickelwright, of this city. is now
launching the movement in the coun-
ties of this district, which are the same
as General Secretary John B. North
colt Is organizing for the Y. NJ. G. A.
army fund.
The counties of the district are Mar
shall, Hardin, Butler, Grundy. Wright,
Hamilton and Franklin. Tuesday Mr..
Mickelwright organized the Webster
City high school and Monday he or
ganized the boys Of the Hampton
school. The national plan of this move
ment is to raise s1,G0O,OOO among high
school boys for this purpose. Each
boy who agrees to aid the movement
promises to earn and turn over one
days pay, or 81 each month for a per-
iod of ten months. One dollar will buy
food packet that will be sent to the
prisoners and an agreement has been
reached between the allies and Ger
many that the latter nation will re-
ceiye and forward the packets to the
prisoners without confiscation. The in
ternational committee Of the Y. NJ. C..
A. has virtually guaranteed that 80
per cent Of the packets will reach the
prisoners who, unless they receive food
from outside sources, must subsist on
the scanty diet Of watery soup which
is the larger part Of the German prison
diet.
