SALVATION ARMY
IN NEED OF FUNDS
Statewide Campaign Ends
Tomorrow Villas County's
Quota is $4,000 Drive
Should Be Aided ByAII.

The Salvation Army's drive in Wis
consin for 100000 home service
fund, which was postponed in early
summer because of the absence on va
cations of many campaign leaders,
will be concluded tomorrow. 1t is
the object of the Salvation Army to
continue during peacetime the work
that made its name a byWord with
the American soldiers in France. In
many cities of the state, If the drive
is>a success, neat and practical head
quarters buildings for The Army will
soon be springing up. These struc-
lures will be not only centers of relief
for the unfortunate, but they will
form modern and attractive additions
to the various cities
Wisconsin has the honor of report
ing the largest Individual gift in the
country. It amounts to s25, 600, and
comes from Frank e. Murphy of
Green Bay. The Elks of Superior
have completed their quota with $780,
600 collected. The Elks have also col
lected $4,000 in Marathon county.
Brigadier John G. Smith, divisional
officer of the Salvation Army in Mil
waukee, expresses confidence that
Wisconsin's allotment will be sub
scribed.
''The Salvation Army is not asking
for this fund as reward for service
performed in France" said Brigadier
Smith. ssThat service was rendered
freely and cheerfully and with no
thought of any material recompense.
The Salvation Army is seeking a
home service fund because of many
demands which could not be ignored,
for a continuance and enlargement of
it's activities. y
The drive in the county is taken
up enthusiastically. So far the three
towns to respond have exceeded their
quota with some collections yet to
make. The subscriptions are:

This is certainly magnificent
record for one man. Several of our
farmers are learning the show game.
The first requirement is to grow the
crop at its best. The next is to select
it properly and to put it up in pre-
sentable condition to look its best.
Conoyer is away ahead of the other
towns. Now is a good time to plan
for next year and it is hoped that the
competition will be sharper than ever
not only between individuals but be-
tween towns.

RECUL AR RIP ARM 0LD-T|ME TEXAS
CENTER IS NEWT0WN, OIL METROPOLIS

Herbert Corey, in Kansas City Start
NEWTOWN, Tex-Newtown isn't
on the map yet. 1t isn't even town.
But things happen in it, like new
millionaires and shooting scrapes and
dance halls and gambling and oil wells.
1t is the nearest to the magazine t1c-
ton Texas that can be found now
adays. Even then it isn't very near.
A pessimist mourned the other day,
after reviewing the Newtown record,
that the saloons had been done away
with.
I'VE hadn't oughta chased the sa-
looms" he said It's safer with sa-
soons in a town like this. You see,
it used to be that men got drunk and
when the high-jackers robbed 'em
peaceful. But nowadays, with them
plumb sober, the high-jacker, he just
naturally got to hit 'em on the head"
Newtown is about mile from Burk-
hrunett, which until recently was the
heart of the oil excitement hereabouts.
Burkburnett is incorporated and digni-
fed now. When "the lava police

civic Authorities Awake.
Some time ago the civic authorities
of Burkburnett awoke to the fact that
things were happening which did not
become a thriving young metropolis,
which is set half way between Col
conda and Golgotha. If all goes well,
Burkburnett will maintain its record
of Smelling out new millionaires like
peas fall through a hopper. But If
some one lights a cigarette in the
wrong place and a northeast wind is
blowing the ashes must be raked the
next morning to find Burkburnett.
All the unworthy people were chased
out of Burkburnett Just mile away
oil was being struck, and so the I'M
worthy ones went over there. And
Newtown is now worth a good look,
partly for it's oil and partly for its
other features. A good-looking young
woman walked down the place where
the sidewalk ought to be clad in over
alls, this morning. SO did another,
except that she had furled the main
sails Of her paintings, SO to speak,
thereby exposing a considerable ex-
panse of silk stockings. Another
young woman stood on a plank in the
mud. where a street corner may some
day be, clad in silk stockings and a
knee length skirt and short sleeved
and low' necked waist. Then there
were many other young women. All,

activity at Burk until the pipelines
can be laid.
The High Cost Of Wages.
The sky is overcast by a cloud Of
smoke from one of the burning wells.
That does not frighten any one. for
burning wells are incidents Of any oil

clined position against the implanted
pine walls of the Newtown shanties.

Hish-Jackers Very Rough.
High-jacking, it seems, flourishes
nightly in Newtown. High-jacking is
robbery with or without trimmings.
1.-THE law" was helpless against the
high-jackers until one night when a
robber undertook to hold up a big
Swede. The big Swede had not lived
in the United States long enough to
understand that one should submit to
outrage rather than break the law in
resisting it. So, as the better element
OF Newtown asserts, when that high
jacker told him to come through he
come a-shootin'."
| One bullet pierced the robber's
neck, and the better element there
upon emerged from it's abris and tied
a rope around the wounded neck and
went to string him up. The big
Swede interfered with this casual in
reference with his game, however,
and others came to his aid, so that in
the end the robber was saved alive
until he told about the industry of
which he had been an exponent. Sew

First Woman's Zionist Club Hold

Reunion.
Mrs. Libby Cohen entertained her init
mate friends who were former members
Of the Daughters of Zion club, on Sun
day afternoon last, at the home Of Mrs.
Alexander Berman, I'll Elwood avenue.
The affair was in the nature Of re-
union. The Daughters of Zion was or
ganized some twenty years ago by women
who were interested in Zionism, which
then was only dream, and was the first
woman's organization of it's kind in the
Twin Cities. In order to celebrate the
event more properly the women donated
their share in the Colonial Bank in Pal
estine to the Palestine Restoration Fund.
A memorial service was held for the
twenty-tw members who have passed
away. The decorations were carried out
in the national and Zionistic colors. A
program of Jewish and national music
was given, followed by a luncheon.
