Record Crowd At Riverside Last Night Added Big Sum to Fund-Tonight Elks Will Have Charge at Morleys

The Salvation Army benefit dance given last night at the Riverside park dance pavilion went over great" to quote one of the enthusiastic members of the EIks committee in charge. There was record crowd, a liberal crowd, and several hundred dollars was req lized for the benefit of the home service fund for the Salvation Army.
 The committee desires to take this occasion to thank Richards and Mace for their liberality in donating the use of the dance pavilion at Riverside lest night for the benefit of this worthy cause.
 It looked as though the whole town were there They filled the boxes early in the evening, filled the seats, over flowed to the grounds in all directions. Everybody wanted to dance at once and were willing to pay for the privi- lege and thousands succeeded.
 Big Doings at MorIey's
 The campaign, as a whole. went somewhat better yesterday. A number of liberal subscriptions came in, includ- ing one for $200 from the Knights of Pythias lodge. The end is not in sight, the fund is not over the top yet, but the Ellls can see little daylight shin ing through, and with a big and united effort and the help of all good citizens they can put it over.
 Tonight there will be big doings at Morley's Country club for the benefit of the fund. The Elks are going to operate that well-known resort for all the public, the funds derived to go to the Salvation Army. There will be some kind of fun going to please everyone, and a more than record crowd is expected to attend.
 At ' o'clock this evening there will be truck at the corner of Central avenue and Washington street, with a big pot to receive the contributions of those who have not yet had the op- portunity to give.
 Feeling that perhaps many people had been missed in the canvas, the committee yesterday sent out let ter to several hundred local citizens, asking them to send in their contri- buttons. The letter follows:
