The actual campaign to raise S31,-

towns Of the Augusta chapter started
yesterday in real earnest.
In the city of Augusta, 80 men and
women gave UP virtually the entire

Each worker had an average of 30
cards which means that it will take
fast and fortunate work to finish up
their soliciting in three or four days

yesterday will not be known until
today, when the team workers gather
at 1870 O'Clock for the first MONDAY

verSation and or;itory that make him
the liNcliest campaign manager of all
campaign history.
Immediately after the figures are all
in, the big thermometer in Market
square which will he used to record
the progress Of the campaign, will
exhibit to all passcrs by the result OF
the first day and a half of the drive
