Salvation Army War Fund.

There has been deposited for
I Ne2peree. S40l %. OF this amount
$sS.74 was raised by the collection
at the reception for the new sol
diers at the Nezperce school
house Sunday night. We had an
enthusiastic reception for the
boys that evening, and the crowd
proved liberal, and we wish TO
thank the good people for their
liberality. This donation saved
us lot OF work. OF course quite
a lot OF this amount came from
other districts. but il can not well
be segregated. The good results
viii come from it. though, just
the same.
Some $3.50 more has been sub
Scribed, and the donors are good.
This leaves this district short sos,
and we should have more than
that TO offset what came from out
side districts. The patrons ON the
rural routes can hand their sub
seriptions to the mail carriers, or
put the money in envelopes and
drop il in their boxes, without
postage. We are trying to get
along without asking farmers 10
do any soliciting among their
neighbors. as this is such a very
busy time. and the sum asked is
small. The town has been we'll so
lieited. and we have a good list of
names. but the list would look
better If it was nearer unanimous.
y few names are getting conspie-
nous for their absence, or their
small contributions Ii is a privi-
lege for MS to be able 10 help the
boys and the government through
these different organizations: and
we find a great many who think
the same. They do not wait TO bc
solicited, and all true Americans
should be the same.
