DODGEV|LL.E|: CITY
OVER THE TOP IN
NEAR EAST DRIVE:
Effort Being Made to Equal
Old Record

In last week'scanvass, up to Sat-
urday evening, $525.35 was deposited
in Strong's Bank for Near East Re-
lief. Last year the city contributed
100000 and an effort is to be made
to reach that amount again.
In the canvass one home gave $50,
Five others gave $40 each, and thirty
more subscribed S. each. Many
heard the wall of the 100 starving
orphans allotted to our county. They
are crying to us. No one else has
them to feed. In our city's liberal
response some even sacrificed to con-
tribute food for an orphan for
month. Dodgeville is proud of the
response. She showed the Christian
spirit. Will it be said of any here,
~ was hungered and we gave me-
no meat"
Mineral Point city reported $623.30
with more to hear from. Other places
are at work. Oh the need for work
ers. While these children are dying
by the hundreds, shall we not enlist
w pun U1llS WOTk JIrOuSn
We are sending a few circulars to
each district school teacher in the
county, appealing to them to do their
bit that the hungry may be fed. Will
two or three men or women in each
district help the teacher put this
through, thereby making this work
light for all? See that every home
is canvassed for at least their quota,
viz. $500. Some will adopt an Or
phan for a month by giving $500.
We trust many will do as the thirty
in Dodgeville by contributing $500
each.
All the money contributed for Near
East Relief goes to President Will
sons appointee who is on the spot
and is personally in charge Of the
relief work. That is, it is placed at
his disposal, and NOT ONE PENNY
is spent for expenses. All expenses
are donated by small number of
wealthy people in the eastern part
of the United States. ALL YOU
GIVE is spent to prevent starvation.
The committee is we'll assured of this
fact. Nobody is getting cent out
Of it, for salary or anything else.
Col William N. Haskell, American
High Commissioner for Armenian re-
lief, will see that all you send is
spent to save the life of some child

$4,000 children fed in soup kitchens

ones allotted to Iowa county.

TO OUR PATRONS (Continued)


AS the young man starting out in life, so with the
early pioneer of this state-the first aim was to per-
form such honorable and worthy service as would
yield satisfactory competence for himself and those
dependent upon him.
After the results of these first efforts left no doubt
to the of his struggle for existence and with
fair competence for the future, he began to look
around where he could devote his surplus ener
gles more to the common good of the community to
make it better place to live in.
This Public Spirit as call it now days. and En-
terprlse the seeds in the early days that
have given birth to the many public utilities of the
state, such Railroads, Telegraphs Water Works.
Gas Plants, Electric Light and Power Plants and Tel
ephone Systems. Yet the present great systems COW
ering nearly the entire state, the result of
Public Spirit and Enterprise alone. Failure was the
only reward of many hard working group of men
these various lines, yet these failures entire
losses to the communities. Notice today how many
lines of business built upon the foundations of other
peoples failures.
Experience and Capital then Joined with Public
Spirit and Enterprise and laid the foundations for all
of our public utilities. AS the magnitude of these en-
erprises in each locality increased the original organ
zers found that the demands for service and also for
funds to meet this demand, far beyound their pub
lie spirited pocket books. They thus obliged to
appeal to others for help to meet the needs This ap-
peal however, had to be made upon grounds other than
that of public spirit Funds would be subscribed or
loaned only condition of high interest and
safety of the principal.
In time, as the original organizers became old and
withdrew from active direction of affairs, sentiment
among the remaining gradually underwent a
change, and the plans and aims tended more making
profits than the broader view of service the pub
lie or future conditions.
Then ensued period of profitable business, during
which the owners felt that their aaiIS were private
like those of merchant manufacturer, ETC.. when
in fact they did not stop to think that they
lures of the public, organized under laws created by
the public and authorized to do business and occupy
streets and highways only because they per-
form specified service to the public.
Reckoning days were sure come and also in anoth
er form Many had failed to lay aside for the rainy
day and reconstruction time came when and tear,
rot and rust had deprecated the properties to rac
ton Of their original values.
