Be Successful, Is Prediction

Be Successful, Is Prediction
That Albuquerque and Bernalillo
county will go over the top in the
present wal work drive no one doubts,
although at noon Yesterday the total
subscriptions had reached but $10,-
3S1.00 a little over one-thrd of what
we were asked to raise. The original
quota for the county was 100000
which was later raised to 100000
by special request.
Mr. Oestreich, chairman of the To-
cal drive. reports that men of ordi
nary means are coming through 100
per cent, but that men Of larger in
tercsts are doing comparatively little,
and those in charge of the campaign
think it Will be necessary to ask big
business to raise their ante. In any
event all the workers feel that Berna-
illo's quota of $30.00000 will be
reached before the last Of the week.
FrOm The shops comes the report of
100 per cent subscriptions. Every en-
ploye of the Santa Fee in Albuquerque'
evidently being anxious to demon
strate his absolute loyalty and patriot
ism on this occasion as they have al
WAYS done before.
The womens committees under the
leadership Of Mrs. A. b. Stroup are
setting an example of stick~to-itive
ness, every one Of them have been on
duty every day except one committees
yesterday, every member Of which was
i'll.
Luncheon Success.
The luncheon Yesterday was, again
a huge success, everyone enjoying il
more than if it had been served in
doors The Salvation Army served
real honest to goodness donghnuts,
such as are served to the boys in
France, and the university girls added
Ia bit of cheer with their songs made
for the occasion. They evidently
realized something of the strain un-
der which Mr.. Oestreich had been
working when they surprised and per-
hans embarrassed him a little with his
old prep favorite:
oh, here's tn Mr.. Oestreich. Mr.. Oes-
treich. Mr. Oestreich

Cod bless him, he needs it,
