TWODAYS REMAIN
TO PUT ADA OVER
TOP IN CAMPAIGN
Efforts to Be Made for Larger
Subscriptions for Roosevelt
Memorial-Good Response
From Colored People.

"The establishment of a Roosevelt
society or foundation to carry on Col
onel Roosevelt's spirit of Americanism
and perpetuate and keep alive the I'M
compromising patriotism of which he
was SO essentially the exponent" is
the great purpose for which the Roose-
welt memorial fund is being gathered,
THE creation of foundation for the
purpose of spreading the doctrine of
Americanism."
AS viewed by the Ada county COM
mittee, the developments of the last
few months throughout the nation
clearly indicate that there can be no
more important work.
SPECIAL DRIVE PLANNED.
At the outset of this campaign, the
local executive committee felt keen
desire to have some contribution from
a large number of citizens but find il
practically impossible to get out over
tho county and individually solicit
members and for the next three days
a special drive will be made for larger
contributions.
Tuesday morning the committee
called in all receipt books with the ex-
ceptions of those at the banking insti-
buttons and those in the hands of ac-
tive solicitors. Those who have not
yet secured their membership certifi-
cate should call at any of the banks in
Boise. Meridian, Star and Eagle or get
in touch with Sam e. Blaine, chair
men; j. M. Lampert, secretary, or H
M. Holverson, treasurer, of the local
committee, see them personally OF
phone to them and arrangement will
be made for membership certificate to
be forwarded to you.
There are remaining but two more
days in which to receive the balance
necessary to put Ada county over the
TOP and the committee is at this time
checking over those whose names are
enrolled and shall make a special eff
fort to reach as many as possible OF
those who are not as yet members OF
the Roosevelt Memorial association
| The committee has met with very few
refusals and the solicitors returns in
dictate an almost unanimous endorse
ment of the movement. The only ques-
ton therefore remaining is as to how
many citizens they may be able to
reach before closing their books OF
| Nov. I.
| NEGROES RESPOND.
| The colored citizens have responded
| in way to justify commentator, and
the committee especially appreciates
the lead taken by Mr.. G. A. Hubbard
and the pastor of their church.
The Boise city schools will very evil
IDENTIFY go over the $3.50 mari, although
all of the reports are not as yet in;
no definite figure having been received
from the country schools but exercises
were quite generally held on Monda,
and it is anticipated that very gener-
GUS reports are made.

siastically and while there Is reported
at the present writing about 500, 6
special drive is being made today ant
it is expected that they will pass the
$500 mark.

| has always been a favorite, report:

| organizations in Boise are taking VI
the campaign since the Americaniza
ton meeting of Monday night ant
while no definite report has as We

| The local workers have not been il
position to devote the necessary tim,
to make n campaign such as the com.
munity has been accustomed to in III,
past, they depending largely upon tn,
citizens responding to the call but dur.
ing the last two days they expect L
