The United war Work Campaign

The United War Work Campaign
The village of Alberta is proud of
its record in the United War Work
Campaign. It's allotment was $318.2O
and it subscribed $37S.40. This means
that the people of Alberta oversub-
scribed $50. 20 for the noble work of hav-
ing the home follow the flag with our
bows who are fighting for us. There
was not a single Stacker in the whole
VILLAGE, everyone did his share of this
patriotic work. The solicitors. J. A.
Schultz, Val. Orth and Prof. Grafel-
man report that it was pleasure 10
gather funds from such people as those
of Alberta
The village of Alberta was the first
community in the county to 'go over
the top" last Monday, Nov. H. 1t
went over the top" about 4:30 p. m.
The village has no rich men. 1t took
the heaviest contributors. such as Fred
Andert and l.. J. Schlattman no longer
to subscribe their full allotment than
it takes to write out check. Mr..
Andert also said that he wanted to con-
tribute right away for his girls. Real
patriotism can be recognized only when
the vital spot, the pocket book IS
touched Alberta is again proud of it's
constructive work for America.
The south half of Pepperton is an
other bright spot in Stevens county. 1t
went over the top" splendidly. It's
allotment was $35560, but it raised
S3739O, oversubscribing $40. The cam
paigners here were Philip Ernst, chair
man. Edward Gausman and Clarence
Bach. These good workers, together
with the patriotism of the people OF
Pepperton, did their full duty efficient
1y and we'll, coming in early with their
quota oversubscribed 1t would be
hard, indeed, to find better solicitor
Phi1in Ernst
Mr. Ernst reports that practically
everyone from his part of the county
was ready to show appreciation of his
part of Americas blessing and protec-
ton. 1t is helpful to us all to see so
many Americans who realize that it is
not all take" but also accordingly
much give" for every man, woman and
ours; that get as much from our COM
munity we put into it.
The township of Synnes was under
the able leadership of Chas. Bruer who
has never failed to show his true love
of America by big and constant SerV-
ices rendered. His solicitors were AL
bert GRADER, Albert Eystad Harry
Groth and Adolph Reimers. Mr.. REIN
ers' section of Synnes went over the
top by a good sum. The township as
whole, however, failed to raise its
allotment, $651.70, it raising only
s475SO, in that way falling short
n S166.40. It must be mentioned, how
ever that the campaigners of Synnes
were among the best in true American
spirit and efficiency; they did their
best They must realize that they did
their part for America first, last and
always
The township of Scott raised $35O,95
falling short S147.55. The solicitors in
this section were Mark Farwe1l D. D.
Davis, c. J. Eystad and Harold Gaarder.
These men also did the best they could
in their countrys cause, working will
ingly and to their best ability. They al
80 will never be sorry for enlisting
their services in their country's noble
call for help.
William Gausman and Prof. Grafel-
man went over Scott township to see a
few people who were not at home at
the time the regular solicitors were to
see them about what America had done
for them. 1t has become evident to
them all the more that a strong cam
paign of education should have prepared
the people this subject, so that all
would have understood what this money
was collected for for the home COM
forts and essential education of our
boys in our countrys military service
so they would be able and willing TIC
take up again productive work of peace
when mustered out of service in a few
months or years. The influenza epid-
emic however prevented this. If the
people in the Alberta district had all
understood the purpose of this great
drive, the Albert district would have
been lover the top at present.
1t must be understood, nevertheless,
that this district must fill it's quota,
1886, and no effort shall be spared to
accomplish that end. The district will
get help from headquarters, so that
those who have not quite been able to
do their full share will be given an
opportunity to contribute their valuable
share to Americas purpose to send
back to our homes strong, clean and
able men, the pride of our nation. This
will be done some time this and next
week.
