The 100000 to be raised by the peo-
pie of Minneapolis for the Knights of
Columbus War Camp Fund is to be
gathered Sunday afternoon, January
20, beginning at two o'clock. The
whole city has been organized ac-
cording to parishes, so that more than
a thousand collectors, under the direc-
tion of their parish captains and each
wearing the authorized collectors S
badge, will begin the big drive ut the
same hour 1t is planned to complete
the work in every quarter of the city
by nine o'clock Sunday night.
The Executive Committee directing

bers as follows Chairman, Joseph
L. Murphy, Grand knight of the Hen
nepin- Minneapolis Council of the

Owing to circumstances existing in
the parish of the Ascension, the pas
tor, Father Harrington will take up
the collection in the church and is con.
fident that his people will respond as
Loyalty and as generously as if he
placed the burden upon band of col
lectors. Father Richard of the Church
of st. Anne and Father Yany of the
Church of ST. Philip have made SINH
lar arrangements in their parishes,
generously taking the whole burden of
raising their share of the fund upon
their own shoulders. In the other
Polish parishes a special committee
will have charge of the collecting.
The knights are receiving the active
cooperation and generous assistance
of the various elements in the city.
A splendid example of this good fel-
lowship is furnished by Division No.
of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the
A, o. II. At their last meeting these
ladies voted from their treasury the
sum of $25.00 to the War Camp Fund
of the knights. But this Official ae-
of what all the Daughters of Erin,
members of ten different divisions, are
doing individually to help swell the
war camp fund. 1t is just one little
piece, of evidence that the honest,
healthy rivalry between the various
Catholic societies in the city and
throughout the nation has not been
allowed to degenerate into Jealousy
nor to impede the great work for God
and souls that has been thrown upon
the Knights of Columbus. Another
bit of such evidence is the contribu-
ton tc the fund made in advance by
the Red Cross unit of st. Thomas par,
ish for themselves.
Thorough Preparation.

take the field next Sunday afternoon
