Mrs. Ivanhoo Is confident that the work among the school children will be a great success, even though It Ib hampered some what by the fact that the schools are closed in many districts. She says: "With their usual ' ready response I am sura ithat the chil dren will do as they have al ways' done. It is only necessary to got the work started and they will take It , up with enthusiasm. The great question is to reach them now that the schools are closed." Under the direction of Superin tendent Hampton lottors are be ing mailed to all Union county teachers and the following plans are suggested for conducting the campaign in their district: The teacher in eech school dis trict in the county Is asked "to see that the boys and girls of her district are solicited. The boys and girls are to be urged by their teachers to give at least live dol lars out of their earnings tor the Wair Chest, but a less amount will be accepted. :' , . ," The teachers are also urged to appoint a captain for- Victory Boys and Girls In her district, and see that the caiptalns appoint com mittee for soliciting the boys and girls in the district. The names ot boys and girls with the amount subscribed by each are to be kept separate so that we can determine when the campaign Is finished which has contributed the greater amount. The names of all boys and girls together with tho. amounts con tributed by each are to be sent to Mr. A. C. Hampton. La Grande, Oregon, as soon as the campaign Is finished. The money suhHcribed by tho boys and girls" Is to be collected by tho teacher which .Is to be .turned over by bor to the campaign nvnriager ' bT the local war hoard district In which tlie school hap pens to bo located. ! .

No. 3. In order to put on a campaign in this county, it re quires 300 people working an average of five days each, or a total of 1500 days. This time is donated. If they were work ing at pay rate, each would av erage $5.00 per day, on an av erage, or $7500 in earning pow- er, which is donated at each drive. In the past, there has been an average of 10 drives per year, which would amount approximately to $76,000 in earning power that has been donated, The war chest plan will handle this entire year's work for about seventy thou sand less, in earning power do nated. a -J- -J- V PI WB KEEP OUR STORE LEAN and' SANITARY If you will come into our store and see how clean we keep A and how. everything is protected froin dirt, and dust, you will buy all of your Groceries from us, been use then you will bo sure that what) you plafce on your table is clean and pure. x It is good health insurance to buy in mir clean and san itary Grocery store and our prices are no more than you will pay elsewhere.
