Over 99 Per Cent of Total Amount Received Turned Over to Scout. and
 Boys Club

A total of s20S72.S3 was collected by the Rotary club during the past year for the 1922 budgets of the Boys club and the Boy Scouts. &C., cording to report of E. H. Andrews, treasurer of the fund. at the Rotary club luncheon Wednesday,. Of this amount, s20.725.S1 or more than 99 per cent was actually paid to the boys organizations. and less than one per cent was consumed in office expenses. The report showed that s12,500 went to the Boy Scouts, s6,50o tG the Boys club, and s1,725.8I turned over to the treasurer of the 1923 fund. The report of Mir Andrew 5 was accepted and he was given a vote of thanks for the exceptional results Of his work
 Some interesting observations on campaign work is disclosed In the re- port, portions of which follow:
 "The total number of subscribers was LIS. The total amount sub- scribed was s22,1S7.50. of these sub- scribers. e74 paid their subscriptions in full. amounting to s20.434.50; 40 paid s343.75 on their pledges of s6s9.50. leaving balance Of s355.75 unpaid; and 115 subscribers, repre- senting a total of $1,054.50 Ignored their obligations entirely.
 "Ninety-fcur per cent of the sub scriptions were converted into cash although more than 2,200 notices and letters were sent from the office Of the treasurer, in addition to personal tours.
 "Only s52.44 of the money actually paid into the fund by subscribers was used in expense. In other words, of every dollar subscribed, 99 3-4 cents went to the object for which subscribed, and 21a mills constituted the expense charge.
 This statement is made to refute the charge so often heard that too much money collected for civic pur- poses is frittered away in needless expense and too little received by the organizations for which cam paigns have been made"
 The scheduled address Of John ". Sibley on "A Worthy Vocation turned out to be stunt" that elicited much laughter. It was a scriptural Justification of the various professions represented in the clas- sifications of the club.

SMALL BLAZE CALLS OUT
FIRE DEPT. SUNDAY

An alarm turned in just about noon
Sunday called the fire department to
the George Doehne home on South
German Street where neighbor had
discovered smoke issuing from the at
tic. It is not known what caused the
fire but it is thought that worn cleo
trio wiring may have been the cause
or it may have been started by the
sun shining through a pile Of storm
windows which we're stored in the at
tic. If the latter was the case, the
glass of the storm windows must have
acted as burning-glass, setting the
wood work against which they leaned,
on fire. The storm sashes were all
destroyed but the rest Of the damage
was confined to water soaked ceiling
in a second floor bed room. Mr..
Doehne who has been i'll for long
time but is now able to be up and a
round took the matter cody and wasn't t
disturbed by the excitement at all.
just as we 60 to press, Fire Marshall
Forster tells us the fire was not due
to defective wiring, but to heat from
the sun as stated above, developing
spontaneous combustion. 4
