Encouraging reports came in yes

vented the women's teams from going
out in the residence districts to make
a house TO house canvass, and only

generous. and Miss Cora Mae Adams.
who is here conducting the campaign,
is very much encouraged over the out
look. Today is the final day Of the
campaign, and 1t is expected to run
the final figures up to a comfortable
amount. ZIP +
Each day at noon the business girls
and business women's teams have met
at luncheon at the Y: W. GA. to talk
over the campaign, get warm. and get
fresh supplies Of Ammunition"
which in this case principally meant
announcement, and them they have
started briskly out again. As people
become more familiar with just what
is needed by the y. VIC. 4. for its
important work ine connection. with
in the project, and each day has
brought new people into the army Of
subscribers. -
Since it is not deemed advisable to
canvass the residence districts. any
persons who have not been asked to
subscribe need not let that deter them
from helping the cause along, and II
they are anxious to- enlist their dol
lars, they may send them to the Y.

CAMPAIGN ON !,
NEXT WEEK

Preparations are being made for
the two days food pledge campaign
which is to be conducted or Monday
and Tuesday of neXt Week. when 1t
is hoped to enlist at least 1000 wom-
en- in the food pledge army. The
campaign was started here some time
ago and resulted in getting some l.
500 signers, but at the instigatton of
the Federal. food Iadministration it has
been resumed.
Mrs. Il. A. Spragne, city food, COM
missioner is in charge Of the work
and With her are the members Of the
pure food committee of the Civic
league, who are taking an active in
terest in making the campaign sue
cessful.
The public school children are pre-
pairing posters which will be judged
this evening, and all of which will be
on exhibition at h food pledge
First National bank building or Nom
day and Tuesday.
There Is apparently more or less
confusion regarding the signing Of the
food pledges. and many women who
have signed the registration cards d2
not see the necessity Of stgningfAthe
food hedges. The registration cards
have no connection whatever with the
food pledges, and in signing the for.
mer. women were giving information
regarding their capabilities. and what
might be expected of them in War
work. in case the government found
it necXAary to cali upon them to fill
the places Of men called into service.
The food pledge. cards deal entirely
with the food problem, and have been
