SALVATION ARMY PLANS
DRIVE FOR OCT. Gle

/ The week of October 9th to 18th
has been set aside by the Salvation
Army Advisory Boards of nearly ev-
cry county in the state, as the period
in which the funds for next years re-
lief work and maintenance will be
raised.
Already our live county board has
laid the groundwork for an intensive
campaign here in behalf of this no.
BILE organization and we are going
out to get our quota before the allot-
ted time has expired.
There is no reason why we can't
raise the reasonable sum that is asked
of us here. Times are not as pros
porous as they might be, it is true,
but there are many sections lot
worse off than ours, and even where
conditions are the worst, the people
are planning to do their part for the
Salvation Army.
In more prosperous years the Army
needs loss money. This year the
state and the whole nation has been
hit hard by crop failures, strikes, fuel
shortages and other bad conditions.
Consequently we are going to. have
numerous cases of extreme poverty,
not only here, but every place this
winter. Men and women and their
children will be hungry and cold,
through no great fault of their own.
The Salvation Army will help them,
never fear, but it must have money
for such work. We will have to do
our share, that much is clear.
One of the posters being used by
the Advisory Board in this campaign
says that ga gift to the Salvation
Army is an entry on the credit side
of Gods judgment ledger" and we
are inclined to think that's about
right. The Salvation Army breaches
real, old-time religion and works at
practical religion all the time. We
don't know of any place where your
charity could do as much good, for
the Army feeds the body and spirit
from the same spoon and it nourishes
both.
Our Advisory Board is giving its
time to the work and one of its men,
hers or someone from one of the
committees will call on you for your
subscription. Make it as liberal as
you can and you'll sleep better at
night. If by any chance you are
overlooked don't be offended but go
ahead and volunteer whatever you
can afford. The dollar you give may
be just the one that will keep some
poor girl from suicide or put new
heart in a man who's been getting all

KEEP OFF THE LINE";
RADIO BUGS HAVE MlXUP

The radio enthusiasts at Lyons find
that there are too many broadcasting
stations. When they tune in they get
a dozen instead of one and the effect
is just little confusing. One Lyons
"'bug" declares he has heard as many
as four stations at one time all COM
ing in on the same wave length. For
time the "bugs" had to use patience
while waiting for broadcaster. Now
the air is full of them, all at once and
most all the time.
