tors in some instances have already
called at the campaign headquarters
and made pledges or donated cash
for the 1910 campaign for Inc Sal

directing the drive.
A goal of $4,000 has been set for
the fund, which is to tide the local
corps over the remainder of this year.
Advisory board members are to turn
in names of workers this evening,
and these will be in charge of the

day urged the public to be as gener-
Gus as possible with the work of the
Army at this time. Unless funds can
be had for maintenance of the Local
corps, it may have to disband and
leave Henderson to go to another
