onto the socialists party of the
Reichstag and make il conspiracy,
but the sentiment against him was
strong enough to lead TO his resig-

 FUND FOR YEAR
 HAS BEEN RAISED
Teams Receiving Hearty Encouragement, With $2,-
 542.50 Subscribed.

Three of the six days in which the five teams of enthusiastic kers are to raise the s6,500 for the Associated Charities have passed and the total subscribed is $2,54250. This is less than half the amount required but the members of the teams are more enthusiastic than ever because tney have not covered one-half the terri tory.
 Behold, how good and now pleas ant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity" sang the PSalmist David, and the members of the teams raising the s;6,500 filled with love for their fellow-men striving "To do unto oth- CTS as they would have others do unto them,' if misfortune should overtake them, are witnessing beautiful eX- cmplification of the great truth em- braced in the fifteen words.
 They have been received on every hand with pleasant smile of wei come, hands extended to grasp their own, and expressions bespeaking sue cess in their noble. unselfish quest to provide 9 fund for the relief of the widow, orphan and their fellow mon who cannot help themselves.
 Encouragement has been given on every hand, and the responses have been most generous and free-hearted. So successful has the canvass been that. although less than half the $6,500 has been raised in the three days, the best is yet to come.
 Tn the canvass yesterday the East Pine Bluff led the workers. but the West Pine Bluff team did not make the canvass, as MT. Andrews was compelled to go to his farm. John Reap and c. H. Moore comprise the East Pine Bluff team.
 TO date. the team headed by D. etaa,ey Dreyfus. with Thurman Lou than and Sol Klarberg as associates. is leading in total subscriptions. This team has Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues.
 The Second avenue team, H. E. Tru- lock. chairman, Frank Tomlinson and D. G. Maxey, associates, have not made their grand splurge, but their hearts are in the work and theV will make an effort to come out as the leaders in gathering the SUD- scriptions. Lawrence Dixon and Hubert Strange are the men who will cover Harrauue street, and they will make a thorough canvass, for they will try l lo lead the list.
 The West Pine Bluff team is com l nc~od of a trio of workers that will make the others step lively a:. %ou | turn in the largest amount of sub- | scriptions. This team is composed
 of Frank M. Roane, president of the Associated Charities; Leo M. Andrews and Dr. J. l. Norris, pastor of the
 First Presbyterian church. l H. I. Holderness, who was presl dent of the organization for two years and one of it's most ardent members 1 is general ranger, and will exert
