sire to promote the welfare rof the sol
disrs and sailors by giving support to
this welfare work. which has the sh-
dorsement OF the American government
and the governments of countries aiileo
with the United States.
While $1,000 is not large amount 70
be asked for from this community II
cannot be raised by dollar SUBSCRIPTIONS
alone The person who can anoro 10
give IS or SO or more should under
stand that there is a need OF these lars-
er subscriptions as well as OF the smaiief
amounts donated. 1t is not enough to
give. The gift should be in keep
ing with the means OF the s'eF. ING
man who gives dollar when ne can az
ford to give five is not doing MS DUTY
The man who has not given In fuil meas
ure during the first two days OF the cam
paign because, perhaps, he did not real
ize the need, should come forward today
with an additional contribution.
The money is needed. 1t is not an
unreasonable amount to expect from
this locality. It can be raised II the
need is appreciated but II will not be
raised unless the people contribute IN
full measure in proportion to their
ability to give. The committee feels
that it will be necessary only to call
attnetion to this fact to make the pup
lie understand what it should do.
The actual work of soliciting money
is in the hands of various teams. They
are urged to make Thursday the day
of the big drive. Every man on every
team should do his bit. The plan Of
the campaign provides that on Thurs
day, the last day Of the campaign.
solicitors may ask for contributions
from anybody without regard to the
names on the cards. The Boy Scouts
will take part in the free-for all race
in the right way the goal should be
reached by tonight.
But work is required. Waterville,
Winslow and the towns associated
with them have made a great reputa
ton by their response to the call of
the government for men and money.
Let there be no falling back in the re-
Spouse to this appeal for funds for
the welfare work which will lgive COM
fort and protection to the boys who
have gone out from this community
to do their part in the great war.
BY vote of the committee, lists Of
the contributors to the fund will be
given the press for publication tomor-
row. The committee has voted to
give out the names but except in the
cases of large contributions the amount
given will not be printed

RENT INCREASE RUMOR

Assurances that there will be no
general increase in apartment house
rents this fall were made today by
