RED CROSS WAR
FUND DRIVE IS
On IN EARNEST

The Red Cross war fund drive start
ed this morning, and considerable
progress has already been made in
securing funds. Cordova's quota isl
$4,000, but this amount is likely to
| be greatly exceeded, as a canvass of
the principal business houses resulted
in about $1,000 being subscribed.
The town has been divided into dis
tricts, and a committee appointed forI
| each one, whose duty it will be to
make a door-to-door campaign forI
funds. Every person is expected to
| give the amount equal to one days
wages, and if this is done Cordova will
again "go over the top" with the same
ease that it did in the sale of third
Liberty loan bonds.
The following business houses sub
scribed 1920, and a list of those Civ
ing to this fund will be published each
day:

do your Christmas shopping now:

In sending out this appeal last
night Charles J. Columbus secretary
Of the Merchants and Manufacturer
Association, pointed out that wal con-
ditions make it doubly necessary for
the public to do its holiday buying
carly this year. The chief reason for
early shopping this Christmas. acoord-
ing to Mr.. Columbus, is the fact that
the stores will be unable to find the
usual number of holiday employees.
The District Council Of Defense is
appealing to the people to shop early,
SO that the stores will not have TO
employ men and women needed In
other work.
The public also is urged to carry as
many bundles as possible, bece use

ments and on the delivery wages of

and there. Correctly sighting a tran
sit is a matter fraught with great
difficulty. The binding glare of the
desert plays strange tricks with the
human eye. The result was that the
Goodyear memorial section across the
desert was surveyed during the twi-
light hours by the use of signal fires.
Then came the herculean effort nee
essary to transport the machinery to
the western end of the desert, work
and to grade the desert itself and to
provide the gravel surface, which next
year will provide a boulevard across

Tne new section of the Lincoln
highway will provide a road eliminat-
ing many hours of difficult travel and
saving f1fty-odd miles. 1t would never
have been built. except for the actual
financial assistance of the Lincoln
Highway Association, as the sparsely
settled region could not have paid for
1t, nor would the state of Utah have
been able to provide funds from it's
slender highway appropriation.
Funds Generously Provided.
In these circumstances the directors
of the Lincoln HiOhrro1y
came to the rescue. F. a. Seiberling.
president of the association and also
of the Goodyear Rubber Company,
pledged $4,000 for his organization to
build the desert road. John N. WHY'S
pledged $4,000 for his Willys-Over-
land organization to build the road
through Overland Canyon, the western
entrance to the desert road Carl
Fisher pledged personally $4,000 to
build the road through Fisher pass, on
the east. Later. when it was found
that the desert road would cost more
than had first been expected, Mr. Sci
berling personally pledged an addi-
tional $4,000. Finally the interest of
the Utah highway authorities was en-
listed and the entire sum raised was
turned over to them, and the road
under state auspices, through the use
of prisoners.
The whole campaign and its ac-
complishment reflects the greatest
credit on the patriotic mem ers of the
Lincoln Highway Association, whose
generosity has made possible the con-
struction of this last link in great
transcontinental highway freight
route.

demonstrate the endurance of some
particular motor truck. But within
the next few months. according to A.

motor trucks is going to become a
commercial possibility. through the
establishment of 365-day-a-year
route, the Lincoln highway.
The final smoothing off of this high
way comes through the construction
OF certain stragetic sections through
particularly difficult country in Ne
vada, Wyoming and particularly in
Utah, where the road crosses the
Great Salt Lake desert. Construction
IS proceeding apace on all these diff
f1cult sections and. says Mr. Bement,
these spots will be eliminated by the
end of the year, and then it will be
possible to run truck freight serv-
