SALVATION ARMY
TO MAKE APPEAL
NEW ULM BUSINESS MEN WILL
SUPERVISE CAMPAIGN
HERE JAN. 12.
GREATEST ORGANIZATION IN
WORLD FOR RELIEF OF
UNFORTUNATES.

At a meeting of the Brown County
Salvation Army Advisory Board with
Mrs. Mary T.. Wishman of the state
headquarters in Minneapolis, held in
the Commercial Club rooms in New
Ulm, Thursday evening, preliminary
arrangements were perfected for an
appeal to be made soon for the Saliva
ton Army.
Will Speak at Churches.
Mrs. Wishman will speak in local
churches, next Sunday, and on Mon
day evening will deliver talk at the
adjourned monthly meeting of the
New Ulm Commercial Club. During
the week, she will also attend meetings
of local ladies' clubs to present her plea
for their support of this noble cause.
Mrs. Wishman will tell what the Sal
walton Army has done and is doing to
bring rays of sunshine into the lives of
those unfortunate people, of whom
some thoughtless, hard-hearted per-
sons refer to as down-and-out. She is
in position to know much of the I'M
selfish, quiet service of the workers in
the Salvation Army, having been with
them for four years in their outside
work since the need required her
services in that capacity. Mrs. Wish
man has also come in contact with
every branch of the rescue and relief
work of this devoted organization in a
personal way all over the United States.
She has a pleasing personality and her
appeal cannot help but bring a re-
sponse, being put forth in straight
forward, dignifed manner.
Budget Succeeds Solicitors.
The budget plan, which has been
adopted by the Salvation Army, viii
do away with the Salvation Army
solicitors and will place this splendid
organization on business basis and
will also put this county in a position
to receive assistance from the Saliva
tion Army, if help is needed in caring
for the unfortunates. The Salvation
Army is the friend of humanity
operating in ~ countries all over the
Globe. ....-.
Staunch Friend of Soldiers.
The organization came into it's own
during the World war. Anyone doubt
ing the valiant services rendered by
the Angels of Mercy sent overseas by
the Salvation Army, many of whom
risked their lives in bringing food and
comforts to our soldier boys in the
front line trenches, need but ask one
of ex-service men-regardless of race
color or creed-how he Jared with the
Salvation Army "over there" and the
reply will convince the most confirmed
Doubling Thomas that the annua
appeal should be greatly over-sub
scribed.
Work in United States.
Some of the things the Salvation
Army has accomplished in the United
States during the past year are tolt
below in a nutshell: D.
Furnished 1856, 6,545 beds for men a
cost of Is to SO cents each i&
| Cared for 4,4S1 unfortunate girl
from IL to II years of age.
Sheltered and found homes fo
more than $4,000 children in goo,
Christian families.
Out of 2,219 people missing and re
ported to the Salvation Army last year
S54 were located. A better recor
than that made by any other agency.
Free employment found for 1921
men and 23,O43, making grand tot;
of S56,1S1 people assisted by the Sa
vation Army. The service is free an
e without price.
Expenses Very Low.
! Only two per cent of the sta
budget is required to pay the salari
L of the Salvation Army officers. Min
4 ty-eight cents of every dollar goes in
the rescue and relief work for u
fortunates in Minnesota.
y AS an investment in social service
= will pay better than money spent
= any other way. When one compar
q the organizations that have profit
. by ones generosity in the past al
= notes the self-sacrifcing personnel
, the Salvation Army, with motiv
lo notes the self-sacrifcing personnel
humanity, giving 100 per cent servi
at cost of only two per cent, the S.
ID walton Army rises to the top in on
b. estimation, and a person knows it to
10 one organization which he or she cs
ne not refrain from supporting to the ve
as best Of their ability.
