Board held in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms Thursday, August 1st, at
5 100 p. m. was addressed by A. s.
Magann of Madison, who is the Asso-
ciate State Organizer of War Work
Campaigns of the Salvation Army.
After full consideration of the en-
dorsements of the National and State
Councils of Defense as well as those
of President Wilson, Secretary Baker
| General Pershing, Ex-AmbassadOr Cir
ard, First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral and those of the officers and SOL
diers of our army and navy, the War
Finance Board voted to give the War
Work Campaign of the Salvation Army
in Rusk County, it's hearty endorse
ment.
The Chairman or the Board, L. G.
Streater, consented to be Chairman Of
the County Committee
Other officers of the County Com
mittee are b. M. Dresden, Secretary.
He will be assisted by Miss Irma Mel
son. The treasurer is w. S. Manning,
Postmaster at Ladysmith.
The Board of Defense of the State
and Counties of Wisconsin have fixed
the quota at $1,000 as the goal for Rusk
county. The date of the campaign is
August 1920.
Every citizen of Rusk county is ex-
pected to do his full share in helping to
meet the comforts and real needs of
"Our Boys" Not one dollar of this
fund goes for the local or national
work of the Salvation Army, but to a
committee of representative business
men of the county who receive and dis,
pense the funds for War Work.
Enthusiastic testimony from Off
GERS, from the men and from other or
ganizatiOns in France has caused
strong current of public confidence to
set in the direction of the work of of
the Salvation Army at the battle front.
This city has been asked to aid with
donations the work Of the organization
in France and in that connection the
following letter written by Col. f. w.
LawtOn, N. A., to Col. Mcintyre of the
Salvation Army will prove of interest.
II can assure you that the work Of
your daughter and of all other good
women of the Salvation Army has made
us feel that we owe them debt we
can never pay. Your organization has
more and far better than any Organiza-
tion operating in France. AS l have
heard many officers say, the spirit Of
your workers has been what can we do
to help your men? They have gone
about their work in quiet, unOstenta-
tious way and have asked help from
none
"YOu may rest assured that many
officers and enlisted men from the ar
my earnestly look forward to the time
when the people at home can know
and understand what the Salvation
Army have done for us. We all owe
you deep debt of gratitude and /
know there is not man in the army
in France who would not share his last
bit with any member of the Salvation
Army.
"They have gone with us right to the
and went into their hall crowded with
games or music. If / could only tell
what this place is and how close it is
to the most awful battle the world
has ever seen, you, as well as millions
of good people at home would be as
founded.
Eyes, your work is of real value and
some day it will be known and appre-
ciated."
An earnest appeal has come to us
that we extend this work and send over
more workers. The State and County
Councils of Defense have endorsed the
campaign and approve an allotment Of
$1,000 in Rusk county.
Will you not give your share to this
most worthy cause?
The campaign will be conducted
August 17-20th.
If no one calls on you at that time
leave your subscription enclosed in
envelope at bank postoffice, with Phil
s. Reed Secretary of War Finance
Committee, your minister, or send
direct to County Treasurer w. 3.
Manning, Postmaster, Ladysmith.
