HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN
NOVESSOWLY;; HUGE
AMOUNT YET NEEDED

With the stormy weather hamper
ing slightly and those who had been
actively aiding in the campaign dur
ing its first few days being called to
attend to private affairs, the Salem
General Hospital campaign for $780,
600 was moving slowly today. 1t was
reported by the publicity committee
that S95, 900 is yet needed to complete
the total quota; $4,000 being pleoseo
and reported in by committees late last
night and this morning.
1t was explained at headquarters
that the 100000 reported Thursday as
the estimated receipts counting all do
nations was erroneous. This amount
was the anticipated receipts when
an the committees reported Compila
ton at noon today showed that $685.
900 has actually been received in cash
or pledges The greater figures given
out Thursday included donations that
of obtaining.
Women will take an active part In
the battle for funds Saturday when
various women's clubs will mobilize
their forcesand begin thorough can
vass of the residence districts for sub
scriptions. Solicitation by women Is
under the direction of Mrs. c. C. Bel
linger, who has participated in several
campaigns for funds before.
The keen interest organized labor in
Salem is taking in the campaign and
welfare of the Salem General Hospital
is reflected by the attitude of the mem
bers of the carpenters local, with
whom the hospital committee met
night. The carpenters
pledged aid to the movement, and be
gan at once to lay plans foractive as
sistance in soliciting among their own
craftsmen. other unions inthe city
are steadily working for funds, 1t was
reported at headquarters.
An unrelentless campaign for the
500, 900 will be conducted until the
sought will have been reached,
the committe declared today. 1t was
expected that at the rate donations
were coming in during the day, and
Thursday afternoon and evening, that
it probably would last two weeks yet.
Reports from several Of the commit
tees were awaited. It was stated at
headquarters that some Of the captains
had not reported for two days, and
that with their reports the figures
would be materially changed.

us. AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT WILL
EXTEND ACTIVITIES

New York, Mar. 12--In terms of the
advertising manager, Secretary of Ag-
rlculture Meredith told the members
of the Merchants Association of New
York today of his ambition to increase
the output of the departments chief
product, service. 1t was the first ad-
dress made by Mr.. Meredith since his
appointment and summarized the
work of his department, at the same
time urging increased appropriations
for carrying on the work.
"Are you going to keep this we--
der produet-service--from the peo-
pie; this wonderful product you are
manufacturing he asked his audi
ence, whom he characterized as the
owner of a business concern upon
which he was making a report. 1T is
not wholly the problem Of the depart
ment of agriculture" he continued.
because we are only your agents, You
are manufacturing this product $50
that product is service. / would like
to double the number of customers,
want to increase the sales of this or
ganization. In other words | want to
bring home to every man and woman
in America this wonderful service"
He deplored a tendency to discuss
waste" graft and soft snaps
II think it is wrong. | think It is
poor advertising to be talking all the
time about the waste, and about the
grafters and soft snaps and all that in
Washington. There may be some
one standing around who believes you
mean It; there may be some foreigner
who is not acquainted with our ways
over here and he hears you and goes
out and repeats your statements to
Others"
Secretary Meredith explained that
only about one-third Of the regular
of s33 100000 is actual,
" used in the interest Of agriculture.
The balance goes to the maintenance
of weather service, the forest service,
the administration of the food and
drugs act and other subdivisions Of
the department.
The department was pictured as
serving an invested capital Of more
than $50, 0,000,0OO000 the amount in
vested in agriculture. The agricul-
tural and livestock product last year
was SIS, 100000 he added, equal
in one year to our national debt at the
present time--one-half of the wealth
Of France"
