IR QUOTA FOR
UP ARMY
Asked for $000, Citizens Give Nearly
*V Twice that Amount.Entire
Qounty Well Over Quota
of $5000
1.....7.,
A fitting tribute to the remark
ably successful work of the Salva
tion Army, not only during the per
iod of the war but in times of peace,
was paid by the people of Pullman
and community last week when they
willingly contributed nearly twice the
/''amount asked in the drive for funds
to carry on the home service work
of that humanitarian organization.
With a quota of $900, the people of
Vthe community turned $1600 into
"the fund, or $700 more than asked,
.and the beauty of the whole thins
was the willingness with which the
citizens contributed. The county as
it whole is over $1000 over its quota
...of $5000, according to the final re
' port of County Chairman F. E. San
ger. Every one of the 30 districts
in the county did its full share in
I the drive, which concluded Monday
evening; and a much larger quot-i
could have been raised had It been
necessary.
In a letter to the local chairman
and committee workers of the coun
ty and through them to the people
of the county, Chairman Sanger ex
pressed his deep appreciation of the
-liberal response of the citizenship.
He wrote as follows:
To the Local Chairmen. Committee
Workers and People of Whitman
County: 7 7 „
; -On. behalf of the Salvation Army
••'1; desire to thank you all for the
liberal and whole-hearted manner in
which you have responded to the
call of this worthy organization.
While exact figures are not obtain
able at this time it Is safe to say that
Whitman county exceeded its quota
Of five thousand by more than a
I thousand.
There is much that I would like
.to say, but I will content myself with
/ a brief summary of my experience
*9 gleaned from all corners of the
county.
1- It is the fairest way to raise
money because It gives everyone an
opportunity to bear his just share
| Under the old syntem a small fraction
of the people raised funds for the
support and maintenance of this, as
well as all other organizations. In
tbis drive nearly everyone contribut
i' ed his mite to this worthy cause.
2. The women are especially in
* wrested and dependable as chairmen
; Mid committee workers. It was »
■woman who was first in the county
;'to raise the quota for her district.
, 3. The farming communities, al
though very busy at this season oi
the year, came through with theit
•ervlces and contributions in a gen
erous and substantial manner.
.<• The people as a whole prefei
.this method of raising funds, because
?d I 'liminates the possibility of im
esters and affords every one at
equal chance to give to those whc
*»* less fortunate.
5. There are no slacker com
: aunltles in all of the 30 communities!
w districts of Whitman county.

I 50 Pullman men who served at home
or abroad during the war attended
I the organization meeting and the
new post was started under most au
spicious circumstances. George H.
( Gannon, an employe of the State
, bank, was elected commander of the
I post and Lieutenant George T. Mc

The Legion itself stands as a sort
of organization as the old G. A. R.
was, only on a greater and more

The Initial dance given under the
