Including the $in.u0i or more that had been subscribed to the fund before the opening of the campaign, more than one-fourth of the quota had been collected.

Fred Wiedman, general manager of the campaign, stated Tuesday noon that the few reports made up to that hour showed better success of the canvassers than of the pre vious year, and that subscriptions were being obtained this year from sources unknown to have subscribed for the same cause heretofore. Jle is confident that the full quota of 000 will be reached by the canvass ers at the completion of the cam paign tonight. Many of the workers intend to continue taking subscriptions in their districts late this evening until they have seen all that it is possible to locate in their districts. The head quarters in the Chamber of Com merce building will remain open un til a late hour receiving the reports of the canvassers, but it is hardly likely that a complete report of the 1 amount secured will be ready to an nounce before Wednesday morning. Divide City Into Section. The city was divided into sections, making blocks, precincts and wards the units, with a general for each ward, and a captain for each precinct, all to be under the general supervision of Mr. Wied man, the general manager. The expenses of conducting the one-day "drive" for the $ 4 4.000 fund have been cut in every possi ble way. Noonday luncheons for the workers were eliminated, and th'? workers continued their canvass right on through the noon hour. This was done for two rea sons. It cuts out the expense of luncheon for the workers, and it dees not take them from their work for an hour during the middle .f J the day, when such valuable work i can be accomplished. i lc Pledge Cards Today. j The canvass today was made through the means of pledge cards on which the giver indicates thr- j amount of his or her donation, and . the manner in which the payments ) are to be made.
