been appointed .. campaign mana
ger. 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

THREE POINTS IN THE
WAR,' CHEST. - . ,
No. 1. I.ast year Union
county was called on for about
$40,000 and subscribed $76,000.
This is about $!!6,000 more than
was- asked f of. Why not con
serve your dollars for i future
calls?
No. 2. By making one cam
paign a year, the work can be
made thorough and complete;
therefore all the people in the
county can be reached; your
neighbor will pay his share just
like you do, This distributes the
load.
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
