FOUNDATION Laid
FORBIGCAMPAIGN
L. B. Hanna, Chairman of
Fargo College Campaign
Committee

The campaign to raise 100000 or
more for Fargo college opened with a
boom when ex-Gov. L. B. Hanna
signifed his willingness to act as
general chairman of the organiza-
ton.
The final organization will include
the most prominent men and women
of the city. An intensive campaign
OF education and publicity will be
carried on for a number of weeks
pevious to the final ten days canvass
which is known as the "Whirlwind
Finish.
Il The campaign managers who have
had experience in many cities
throughout the country, state that IN
Fargo they have found an unusual
condition and one that speaks well
for the business and commercial
prosperity of the city. 1t required
two DAYS to find a suitable headquar-
ters owing to every available foot
of space being occupied by business
enterprises. This in Itself augurs
we'll. The headquarters are now
located in the front offices of the
Underwood Typewriting Co., at SOl
Broadway.
The work at this time will consist
almost altogether in laying the
foundations for the great forward
movement that will be made to place
Fargo college upon a sound ana
financial basis.
q A huge banner 40x10 feet will be
hung across Broadway about go feet
north of n. P. avenue. This Will be
one of the largest banners ever hung
Ready For Hard Work.
Those behind this great work have
the decks stripped for action: they
realize that the task will be diffi-
cult one but for that very reason are
determined to work the harder.
Secretary of War Baker and Com
missioner OF Education Claxton APP
peal to high school students and
parents as follows: THE number OF
those entering college next fall ought
to be much larger than usual. our
young student population can best
serve their country by remaining in
college and high school" Secretary
of War Baker named the most
urgent need of our country at this
time as first, munitions; second,
food; third, educated men. Every
effort must be made to avoid the
grave and iamentable mistake OF the
nations across the sea in depicting
their educated leadership.
One of Fargo's leading citizens
when approached on the subject OF
inaugurating the campaign said: by
all means let us do so. ! am GER
tain from the record of the past that
Fargo will get behind this worthy
cause
