TO MAKE DRIVE
SALVATION ARMY

During the week Monday, October
IS, to Monday, October %, a special
drive for a quota Of $500 will be
staged in Sank county, uniting with
the other counties Of the state in
raising a fund for the Home Service
of the Salvation army for the erection
Of a Maternity hospital and rescue
home for Wisconsin. This was decided
; last night at meeting of the county
chairman and executive committee OF
the special campaign organization al
the courthouse.
| To put over the campaign in the
week and to raise the money the
committee decided to enlist the CO
! operation of the schools, churches,
American Legion and World War vet
eran posts and womens organizations
to collect subscriptions On Saturday,
October %, there will also be staged
a big Sank County Tag day in every
community in the county and every
man, woman and child will be urged
to subscribe.
Statistics show that several hun
dred Wisconsin girls from both city
and country districts annually become
mothers out of Wedlock and with no
place of protection, seek places where
their babes are taken from them and
placed in asylums or homes, while the
mothers, feeling disgraced, too often
drift into a life of shame. The pur-
pose of the Wisconsin Rescue home is
to furnish a refuge for expectant
mothers. where they can care for their
babes and under tender care, and
home like surroundings regain their
self-respect, come to love their chill
dren, and finally get new start in
life and rear their offspring
The Sank County Drive will be car
ried on in a business like manner. By
order OF the executive committee, an
audited statement will be published
at the close of the drive, showing the
disposition of every penny subscribed.
A careful check-up of the field by the
committee last night, and equitable
division of the amounts which might
reasonably be expected from the var
ious schools. churches, other organ
izations, and the Tag day, showed
that the raising OF the quota need be
no great burden. IL each did his share.
