Fargo's monthly budget campaign
for the American Red Cross will not
close tonight, but will continue I'M
til next Wednesday night, Sept. rs,
it was officially announced today.
There are two reasons for extend
ing the campaign.
The first is that the $4,000 a
month, set as a goal by the district
chairman and workers, has not been
reached.
It little better than passed the $3,-
900 mark at noon today. three-fifths
OF the way to the goal.
The other reason is that the dis
trfcts have not been fully covered.
The drive will continue over Sun
day, and the campaign may be ex-
tended to cover all Of next week I'M
less the goal is reached am the
ground is all covered by We'd
nesday.
Time is also wanted to pay es-
peciAl attention to the "slackers"
and ''tightwads," who have thus far
resisted efforts of workers.
Reports Generally Better.
Reports today were generally bet
ter than any day of the week.
Five hundred twenty pledges for
S53793 a month, and $50 service
pledges were reported from IS dis
trfcts to noon today. These reports
bring the totals for the week to g.
422 pledges for $3,296.97 a month, or
$50, 563.64 a year.
The reports that came in this
morning swamped J. A Montgom-
cry, clerk. and it was not until 1880
o'clock this afternoon, after working
without lunch, that he was able to
list his totals.

than a page or two worried down
when someone dropped note going

It seemed to me she was perhaps one
thirty-secOnd of degree more cordial
In her greeting-at any rate she bowed
to me before logged her attention
and made the most Of 1t. I trailed
around with her and behind her for
half an hour, fighting my way through
mobs Of girl friends-I never saw
girl 80 cursed with girl friends-and
after having gotten two distinct
laughs from her by line of talk that
would have reduced one of the Brown

came right out and asked her IL I

knees shook when did 1t.
"Why, there isn't the slightest use
Of that, Mr.. Simmons" she said kind

and he'll take care of me-"

and well-worn friends, and l went out

arson for three hours.

had wiped her feet on 1t. I'd tried
