! Mayor of Manila Speaks.
| Roscoe Saunders, mayor of Manila,
next addressed the meeting, and stat
ed that in the delegation from Manila
present at the meeting were the par
ents and relatives of the thirteen
| young men who have recently entered
the service. He believed that it was
up to the people of Manila to do all
they could for those boys who have
answered the call. Organizations are
being perfected all over this country,
said Mr.. Saunders, to assist the gov
eminent in every way possible to win
this war. In his capacity as an Off
Ger OF the Iowa Telephone company.
he has been enlisting the services OF
employees to join the signal service.
This is no small war we are engaged
in, he declared, but it may run into
years. We should all make sacrifices,
stated Mr.. Saunders, and it might be
we'll to endeavor to collect rs cents
an acre from every land owner in this
county, which would raise a fund in
round figures amounting to 100000.
In his opinion the farmers could well
afford to give this amount of money
to such a worthy cause when they
profit so in war times by selling their
products at high prices.
Manila is organizing labor bur-
eu, said Mr.. Saunders, and every bus
mess man in the town will on certain
days go out into the country and as
sist the farmers in the field.
In closing ne stated that Manila
could be counted on for at least 100
memberships to the county organiza-
ton, and he was loudly cheered.
Money Subscribed Freely.
The chairman introduced Judge
Conner, who had charge OF raising
funds for the Red Cross work. Mr..
Conner briefly stated the purpose of
the organization and said that it was
necessary that the society have funds
with which to work.
Subscriptions poured in from the
very start Many subscribed for pat
ron memberships to the organization
while others took out life member
ships and scores joined as regular
members. Then others donated for
the purchase of supplies and so fast
did the subscriptions come in that
the committee on the platform. was
unable to enter the names and the
amounts.
Those who had already sent sons
into the service subscribed literally
and as their subscriptions were an
nounced, together with the number OF
sons, the audience cheered.
Subscriptions totaling $4,000 were
received at the meeting. but since
then other subscriptions have been
received, which brings the total close
to $4,000. Those who subscribed on
