 Staff Captain David Main, of the divis- ional headquarters of the Salvation Army, left Friday noon for Meridian, Hatties- burg, New Orleans, Gulfport, Mobile and Montgomery, to inject a little ginger" into the campaign at those places and hopes to return to Birmingham Monday night in time to celebrate the raising of the first s50,0Oo of Birminghams quota of s110000.
 The chief officers of the Salvation Army are extremely anxious that Bir- mingham should set the pace in this cam paign, because it is not only the divisional headquarters of the whole gulf division and as such is expected to lead in the campaign, but also because it will in large measure be the chief beneficiary of the campaign. It is pointed out that practically 95 per cent of the fund con tributed by Birmingham will be expended here in a much needed divisional head quarters building and other needed inn provements to carry on the work properly, but also that much of the money raised throughout the division, naturally will De turned into the Birmingham zone.
 Endorsements of this campaign continue to come into headquarters at the north east corner of Fourth avenue and Twen- tieth street, north, and the officers ana chairmen feel greatly encouraged over the outlook and as the official opening of the campaign draws nearer are confi- dent that not only will Birmingham make good in raising it's quota of sl1oOOO, but that, as in previous campaigns, it will do more than asked
