All To Get Message.
The publicity committee has made
arrangements to have the message OF
the Patriots fund carried to every
man, woman and child in this city.
Next week every strees car in the city
will carry the message. A huge sign
will be erected at some prominent cor
rfer in the business district showing
the progress of the campaign day by
day A large number of the manu-
facturers of the city have been lined
up to the one-half hour per week plan
and the contribution of the employees
will be duplicated dollar for dollar by
the employers. Contributions in the
factories will not be compulsory and
no coercion WI be used in getting
signed pledges. In some cases the
employers will set aside half hour
making it the last half hour of the
weeks work Others will permit their
employers to work overtime one-half
hour, thus gaining the revenue for the
fund without interfering with the
workers regular income.
