Mrs. George Courtrlght, formerly of Springfield, but now ot Eugene, is very 111 at' her home In Eugene, GAMPAIGN IS ON FOR RAISING FunDS FOR ARMY Y.M.C.A; Every Town and Village In tha Country Will Be t Reached : $35,000,000 IS NECESSARY Through This Source the Men at th Front Are Provided With Com forts ef Home. At least $35,000,000 will be raised, during tho week of Nor. 11 to 19, to carry on tho war work of tho Young Men's Christian Association. When asked why this great sum is needed, John R. Mott, general secretary ot tho Y. M. C. A. said, "This sum is needed because of the vast number of men to be served. Bofore next July tho American army and nary will in all probability Include 2,500,000 men. When we remember that in no pre vious war have more than 2,000,000 men opposed each other and that the total number of allied troops is twelve times that nnmber to whom we have a mission, the colossal mag nitude ot the undertaking is appar ent" ; v Every town and village In the coun try will be reached, so that no one will be overlooked. All during tho war the Y. M. C. A. has had men at the front In an effort to give the sol diers some of the comforts of home. It is the unanimous verdict of the sol diers everywhere that the Y. M. C. A. men are not quitters. No secretary subject to draft Is allowed to serve, unless his name 1b far enough down the list to warrant his not being called for a long time, and as soon as he is called he shoulders his rifle and marches with the men whom he has. been serving. j Some Idea of the work tho As sociation is doing may be had from the following letters from men at the front. One soldier writes home, "It rains a lot. Say, the Y. M. C. A. hut Is a Godsend. You find It every where you go." Another writes, "Why, the first question a fellow asks when he goes Into a town 1b, 'Where is the Y?' They send us hot soup up the line. I tell you it's good when you have been standing in one place for two hours, chilled to the bone. Then yon say, 'Thank God for the Y. M. C. A.' M Each million men will require 500 Y. M. C. A. centers; 2,000 experienced workers; 500 pianos; 25,000, talking machine records; 500 motion picture machines; 1,000,000 feet ot film a day; 10,000 pens a day; 25,000 chess and checker boards; 50,000 magazines a week and 1,000,000 Bibles.
