1T is apparent that the situation

law or not enough on the subject. If
we have too much, some should be
replaced or amended, and if we do
not have enough law the deficiency

SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE NEXT FRIDAY
Lincoln Asked for $1,5OO for
Work During Current
Year.

The annual campaign to raise
funds to sustain the Salvation Army
during the current year will begin
with rush in Brookhaven and Lin
coin county, Friday, April 29th.
Mr.. 9. B. Perkins is chairman of
the drive, which augurs well for its
success. Committees have been ap-
pointed to canvass the city, and all
plans are being made for a rapid
and thorough campaign. The COM
mittees are as follows:-
West of Railroad-W. D. Davis, O.
H. Hartman.
East of Railroad. w. McGrath,
c. S. Butterf1eld.
Manufacturing-J. A. Carroll, e.
A. Nalty.
Ladies Committees: Peripatetics-

Mrs. I. L. Parsons, Mrs. T. H. Per-
kins.
Climbers-Mrs. David Cohn, Mrs.
c. S. Butterfeld, Mrs. Chas. Perkins,
Jr., Mrs. James Cassidy.
Special Efforts Committee.-Mrs
Mamie Meyers.
1t will not be necessary for the
team workers to offer arguments
showing why Brookhaven and Lin
coin county should give liberal sup
port to the Salvation Army.
The splendid service rendered by
the organization in the past is we'll
known to all citizens, and it is be-
lieved that everybody will give as
literally as their means will permit.
1t is simply a case of reaching the
individuals, and if the team mem
bers stick to the job, visit the ter
ritory assigned them, and interview
all citizens Lincoln's quota can un-
Questionably be raised.
The Salvation Army works al
ways on the theory that "a man
may be down but he is never out"
Its work is among those who are
rarely, if ever, reached through the
influence of any other organiza-
tion.
