SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE FOR FUNDS BEGINS SUM-.
DAY AND ENDS IN A
WEEK.

With the whirlwind drive but
few days away the workers in the
Salvation Army Home Service Cam.
paign are enthusiastically joining
forces in an effort to push Mime
sofa over the top in it's quota Of
100000. Final touches are being
added to the organization, which is
virtually complete throughout the
state, and reports are so satisfac-
tory, according to Herbert N. JEFF
frey, state campaign director, that
success in the big, drive August 10 to
18th is practically assured.
Elks are backing the campaign in
every district in which lodges are To-
Gated, 90 per cent in Minnesota's B.
P. O.. E. being definitely pledged to
the undertaking. The Elks in Roch-
ester, not satisfied in leading the
state as the first district to reach it's
allotted quota, have again entered the
campaign with the intention of rails
ing $1,000 more to give their city a
better, more efficient building than
was at first planned. With the site
which has been purchased the new
plan will give them a $4,000 Sal
walton Army building and equip
ment.
Permanent building projects are
planned for many other cities
throughout the northwest. In al
most every instance the district di-
rectly benefited will bear the major
share of the cost. of building and
equipment.
The Salvation Army, which for
years has conducted rescue work in
saloon districts, does not expect to
find it's field narrowed as result of
the closing of the bars. It's work
now will be constructive. It intends
to rent some of the places which will
become vacant and try to carry out
a program which will take the place
of the saloon in the social life of
men.
Among the workers in the Mime
sofa campaign is the famous" dough
nut girl" Miss Signe Saunders of
Brainerd, Minnesota, who has just
returned from sixteen months serv-
ice overseas. Most of this time she
spent in the Toul sector close behind
the front line trenches, baking pies
and doughnuts with the aid of one
other Salvation Army Lassie.

PINE sTUMPs OF USE

".There are 100000 acres of
pine stumps that now cluster state
owned cut-over lands, and the pro-
duction of more than 100000, 900
worth of turpentine and other wood
distillation derivatives from the
stumps, will result from successful
operations by the Stellar company of
Minneapolis, S. M. Lewis, president
of the organization, has advised j. A.
o. Preus, state auditor and custodian
of state lands.
"a problem of recent development
is that of the distillation of the
stumps of pine trees to secure the
various contained ingredients" said
Mr.. Lewis. Experiments have
proved that the Norway pine stumps
which are so abundant in northern
Minnesota, are exceptionally rich in
resins and are especially adapted for
the purpose of manufacturing tur-
pentine, pine tar, creosote, pine oil
etc.
"There at least 100000 acres of
Norway stump lands in Minnesota,
averaging three cords or more to the
acre. The conversion of these stumps,
which are big detriment to the de-
velopment of the agricultural lands,
can be made an asset to the state

body knows that we have got money
in the savings bank and in war bonds.
And as everybody knows this, so does
everybody know that any statements
that would tend to the contrary are
absolutely without foundation.
Therefore, when anyone is honestly
trying to help the cause of labor he
cannot do it by denying these condi-
tions. When he does this he insults
the intelligence we wish to appeal to
and disgusts the average citizen. God
