ME SALVATION ARMY
WANTS $13,0011,000
Amount to Bo Raised in Next
Week's Campaign Already Ap
portioned for Work in the Com
munities Where It Will Come
from
In connection with tho Salvation Army
campaign to ralso $13,00O,(KX) during tho
tvcek of Mny 10-20, Burlington being
asked to contrltuito 533000 of tho Bum, It
may bo of Interest to itusn how this
amount was determined upon as tho goal
toward which tho Salvation Army would
strlvo In Its drive.
It Is stated that tho total amount called
tor from tho nation represents tho sum
all tho budgots throughout tho country,
for purposes of administration, tho Uni
ted States Is divided Into provinces, each
Under tho command of a provincial ofllccr,
who reports directly to tho national head
quarters of tho Salvation Army In Now
York. Each province, which mny contain
ono or several States, Is subdivided Into
divisions, with divisional officers report
ing" to provincial officers. Tho divisions In
turn, aro composed of corps, which
are tho actual local branches of tho
Solvation Army under corps commannd
ers. Each' corps, guided by Its knowledge of
local conditions, has determined the
o,mount necessary to carry on tho work
Inrthabcommunity. The amount so deslg
riated has been scrutinized on the ono
hand'by the superior officers at divisional
and provincial headquarters, and on tho
other by citizens of tho community not it
part of tho Salvation Army, but knowing
the-army and tho community.
Adding to the amount In each commun
ity tho necessary Items which represent
tho local community In maintaining na
tional hoadquarters and certain phases of
work which are not purely local, the
amount to b asked for has been deter
mined. In this way, tho funds raised In
each communltynre. actually to bo expend
ed in that community for local service to
tho peoplo there, except tho small percent
age which goes to tho national work. Tho
very citizens who mako the gifts will be
In a position to watch tho wisdom of tho
expenditures.
Thus it will be seen that local needs, de
termined locally, huvo been tho govern
ing fnctor In determining tho amount to
be raised for the Salvation Army work.

the magistrate of a man charged with

Tho head constable was amazed. "Why,

WON'T WORK ON FARMS
Returned Sold lorn Shy at Kmployitient

(From tho Brooklyn Eagle)
The United Suites Employment Serv
Ivo, organized for tho relief of the lnbur
market by providing employment for re
turning soldiers and others, reports suc
cess In all phases of Its work except sup
plying men to work on farms. Reports
from CO cities show that th nuirtber of
men without work decreased during tho
tho post week and the number of men
registered as looking for jobs In SC of
thoso cities wns reduced from 125,000 to
07,000. Many considerable sections of tho
country report tho labor market as tak
ing caro of Itself, but the only place In
which men arc wanted but cannot be
found Is on tho farms.
Work on tho farms suffers many of
tho disadvantages which mako domestic
servlco unattractive and tho farmers arc
mooting with practically the samo diffi
culties as housewives in cities. In tho
old days tho "hired man" was iwirt of
tho family. He shared practically all of
the privileges of tho farmer's sons and
If thero were long hours or especially
strenuous work ho shared these with his
employer or his employer's sons. There
was no such thing as an eight-hour, or a
10-hour, or even a 12-hour day, hut labor
for boss and hand alike was regulated by
tho power f endurance and the mltfga
tlons and alleviations wore shared by all
allko. It was a hard life but It was free
from discriminations; a farm job was the
best ono In sight for mo3t hired men and
It was In the main a contented life.
Access lo the cities and to shops with
short hours has changed all that. The
character of farm work makes longer
houra necessary than nre required In
shops and tho work Involves something
nt the loss of social caste which sends
girls by the thousands Into shops when
they might bo better paid ami better fed
In kitchens. Tho lato Colonel Roosevelt
was at one time very much Interested
In a campaign for Improvfng tho social
conditions of life among farmers, with
the idea of keeping on tho farms the
boys and girls who aro born there. The
need now is much greater than when he
advocated tho plan. The demand fo- fcoi
Increased greatly during tho war and tho
need for labor win met In part by camps
of high school boys and of "farmer
ettes." Of course, that artificial supply
cannot he maintained Indefinitely. Ma
chinery can cut down tho need for farm
labor a good ileal, but some way must
bo found to make living on' tho farm at
tractive for- the men who are needed to
run the machines and to supplement
them.
