What the Salvation Army
Wants This Money For

The Salvation Army owns the lot at LOG West Reno
street, 5OxlOG feet, on which are three very old and
nearly-ready- to-tumble-down buildings.
They want to erect on this lot a new and modern
building with three floors and basement, the building
to be 45x100 feet.
This building will provide a gymnasium, class
rooms, kitchen, women's and children's rest rooms, day
nursery and auditorium for meetings. There will be
provided club rooms with baths and lavatory facilities
for returned soldiers and sailors.
Bed rooms will be maintained for working girls at
a moderate rental of from 81 to $3.50 per week, with
running water in each room, ample bath and toilet facil-
tiles and a large, honey" living room for their Use.
The building will also provide offices and living
quarters for members of the Salvation Army who de-
vote their time to the work here in Oklahoma City.

Is it any wonder that without

word for this "Army" that knows
no creed and has no prejudices?
So now, this little band Of the

for 100000 to finance the erection Of a
building on West Reno street, which will
be maintained by them in their we'll
known economical manner for the well
fare Of Oklahoma City.
\ Shall we give it to them? Most
assuredly. We will give because we
know they deserve it; because we know
they will make every dollar Of it do vi

in better men and women worth many
times the investment; we will give, II

the bill now pending for the biennial
