SALVATION ARMY
FUND CAMPAIGN
GETS RESULTS
IN FARGO.

The Salvation Army drive for
$4,000 for war work was opened early
this morning under the auspices of
Iabor's Loyal Legion and the good
work OF the Salyationists in civil life
as Fargo people see them is reflected
in the willingness on the part of
those selected to give for its war
work. ~.
The responses so far reported are
good, even the poorest people SEEM
ing glad to contribute to this cause,
while those better off are doing nice
'1y. However, there is a great deal
Of work to do because Of the numer-
Gus demands on pocketbooks, but the
committee in charge has no doubt of
the outcome If all the solicitors do
their full duty,
This being the first day of the
drive many workers did not under
stand that reports were wanted this
morning, and definite results cannot
be given untilStomorrow. Judge Bar
nett, as usual, was early in the field
and by noon had reported nearly
$500 secured, without reports from
his assistants, this being the largest
collection so far reported. Solicitors
are urged to get busy on this matter
as 1t is desirable the citys quota be
made up at he earliest possible mo-
ment, it not being necessary to oc-
cupy the entire three days in accom-
plishing this.
