custom grew. these small organiza-
tons enlarged into singing societies

One of the greatest of these fes-
tivals was Theodore Thomas. Dam

spouse made by the farmers of Penn

committee of workers appointed to
attend to this branch of the cam
paign. Reports handed to James
Kennedy, township trustee, Tuesday
night showed that $1,000 had been
realized from this source during the

prisingly large sale among the
farmers could be anticipated.
The committee at work among
the merchants of Mishawaka. of
which committee Charles A. Ostrom
is chairman, reported Wednesday
forenoon that it had not met with
one refusal during its canvass Of
the stores so far Almost every

An especially gratifying feature
of the campaign was the speech

this issue.
John Shindler addressed the chill
dren of the parochial schools during
the afternoon urging all those who
could TO do their bit by subscribing
for a bond.

on Lincoln way W. between Mill
