 CTS Issue Final Appeal
 The campaign for the Boy Scout 1und Of $1o,000 is already half waI over the top and workers in charge Of it feel that the subscriptions to h, secured today will undoubtedly wind up the drive. If not, the campaigr will be continued until it is put ove, the top. The total amount secured SC lar, according to tabulations announc. ed at the luncheon at the Y. M. c. A yesterday, is $9,2665O. A large mum. Der of wealthy citizens have not been seen yet, and several industrial plants that usually make subscriptions have not been reported on.
 Animation was injected into work CTS yesterday by the announcement that Mrs w. L. Dewoody has offered the use of 40 acres of land lying four miles west of Pine Bluff, this side of the Boys Industrial school, to the Scouts free of charge. The land which IS said to be especially useful tor camping purposes, is beyond the end of the Thirteenth avenue pike. It is said that the Scouts will them selves build club house on the land. Trees of small diameter will be se cured from the land by the boys for the purpose of erecting the house.
 Another meeting of workers will take place today at noon at the Y. M, C. A. when it is believed that the largest amounts so far secured will be announced. It is very probable that another luncheon will be held Mon day at noon also.
 Ma j. w. J. Parkes last night issued the following statement:
 Ihe campaign workers are find ing many persons out when they call and are having to return the second time to others. The number of work CTS is limited and unless those who have not yet been solicited will vol turn in their subscriptions, it will be impossible to complete the canvass by noon today, as hoped. Cards can be obtained from Judge Sorrells, Major Parkes or any of the workers, or subscriptions may be left at the Y. M c. A."
 Sorrells Statement.
 Judge w. B. Sorrells, campaign di- rector, also issued a statement last night as follows:
 "There are people in this city who are working night and day for the boy. What are you doing? Are you doing what you ought to do to help him in this work
 "He takes an oath to go morally straight. What is it worth to you to have help every day in keeping your boy morally clean? The man we are going to put at the head of this work will work every day to keep your boy physically strong, mentally awake worth to you? How much?
 "The Boy Scout oath is as follows: To do my duty to God and to my country. To help other people at all times. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight
 "From the time your boy is 12, until he is IS. we are going to help him 70 keep this oath. What is this worth 70 your boy? Some 1500 to 2.OOO ooys in this county will have help every day to keep this oath. It is ID to you. Give us one hours rest of your automobile on any Sunday after loon to help these boys go morally straight, and we will have the money This is the greatest opportunity we lave ever had to help our boys and know that we are not going to turn hem down." Campaign officials state that the general public is invited to stop any solicitor on the street at my time and to make a subscription. Owing to the limited number of so- icitors, it will be impossible to see within the three-day limit
