last year in Bonner county and was
successful in raising more than the
quota
The campaign will be carried on in
all parts of the United States during
the interval from October z to 16. The
quota for Boundary county is 5000.
Chairman Mcdonald and the men,
bers of the executive committee met

quet rooms and laid plans for the cam
paign. Solicitors will be on hand
during the county fair to solicit sub
scriptions to the fund District chair
men will be named this week and will
be asked to raise a certain proportion
of the county quota.
The following letter from head
quarters at Seattle by Lieut.-Col J. w.
Cousins, provincial officer, is explana-
tory of the plans of the Salvation
Army work for the coming year and
was received this week by Chairman
d. c. Mcdonald:
"As you know, the Salvation Army
is noted for the economy with which
! it operates. This is due to it's long
experience in social welfare and the
! limited salaries which are paid to its
workers.
"The largest item in the budget calls
for $51 900 to maintain the various
Army corps through the state in their
relief work.
"The budget asks for $4,000 for the
maintenance of the rescue and mater
nifty home at Spokane. This $4,000
will enable the Salvation Army to care
for more than $50 girls and their
babies annually.
"The sum of $40 900 is requested for
organization and extension work
through the various county advisory
boards in this state.
"Other items of the budget call for
$4,000 for state headquarters main
tenance and emergency relief for the
entire state.
For the maintenance of the various
departments which serve the entire
state $4,000 is asked, but are not in
cluded elsewhere in the budget.
you will observe that careful effort
has been made to ask your county to
contribute only to those departments
or institutions which can directly
serve you. Your state board believes
that the budget is very modest and
that the funds received will secure
for you the very maximum of con-
structive service.
I'VE feel entirely confident that
every county will reach its full quota.
Every effort was made to insure the
fairness of every county apportion-
ment
I'VE will be very glad to answer any
questions at any time, and we are anx-
ious for your advice on any subject"
Good old Boundary county will do
her part and furnish her quota on
time. She never fails in such emer-
gencies.
