...
Anfustana's friends in tbe tri
etUes are enthusiastic over tb csm
paifti (or the gymnasium fund
which hertns niixt Thursday. With
taa appointment of J. L. Vernon as
campaign organiser In Rock Island,
and K. 8. Hotrord in the same capa
city in Molina, the successful is
sue of the campaign was assured.
Previous campaigns (or endowment
fundi bare been begun outside of
the city and conducted by alumni
and teachers of the institution.
Many thousands Lave been brought
to Augustana college in this way
and tbe resulting benefit to tbe
cities in this immediate vicinity is
Mw a recognized (act This drive
beginning; next week is entirely of
and by the cities here and as the
basiness men of the cities are the
sponsors of tbe campaign the
friends of the Institution in all tbe
4$ states and many of the provinces
of Canada will have definite proof
that tbe Importance of Augustana
is now recognized and that the suc
cess of Augustana means the suc
cess of this community as well.
To Pay for Gymnasium.
Tie interest of the friends of
Augustana hero is based upon the
taken to pay for the gymnasium.
This building was designed by local
architects, built by local contrac
tors, and erected with the specific
point in view of not only meeting
the growing needs of an energetic
and thrifty college, but more than
that of meeting the 'vital needs of
an auditorium for the community.
Not only has this auditorium-
gymnasium met the needs of a cen
tral meeting place for public as
sembles but' it has gone a step
further and furnished the oppor
tunity for local individuals and or
ganizations to bring the best talent
that America has and offer it to the
admiring public.
Many believe that should Augus
tana have asked the community for
the funds to begin the erection of
tbe building, the local community
would have hesitated to contribute
the amount. However, now since
tbe building has justified its erec
tion, and has proven itself to be in
the best sense a community asset
it seems assured that the friends
. here will guarantee the cost of
erection, especially since it was
built at an opportune time and at a
cost approximately half of what it
would cost at this time. The debt
on tbe building is the cost of its
erection, $80,000, and this is the
amount that the campaign work
ers have set as a goal.
Rivalry In Twin Cities.
It is a question in the minds of
many of the workers interested in
this campaign as to where the most
of the friends of the college live,
Moline or Rock Island. Surely the
campaign will reveal the farts. Mr.
. Hosford and his co-laborers believe
Nthat Molina will be the first over
I the top and the enthusiasm among
' the Rock Island men runs higher
perhaps. The issi.e of the cam-
naiEn wilt ha watrhpri with prnw-
ing Interest by the friends of the
vicinity.
A union meeting will be held in
the gymnasium next Wednesday
tvening and at this dinner the or
ganizers andheir majors and cap
tains will give out their final words
of direction. On Thursday morning
tbe campaign will begin and it will
be a matter . of a few days only
when the final count will reveal the
Interest of the Jocal people in an
institution that bas come to play
so important a part in the life of
the community.

MORE THOUGHT
AND INTEREST
OUR MAIN NEED
Study of Public Questions
Advised by Franklin
K. Lane.
Washington, March 20. Develop
ment of a more thoughtful and in
terested citizenship and the trans
lation of crystallized public senti
ment into action are the two needs
of grave import confronting the na
tion at this time, Franklin K. Lane,
former secretary of the interior,
declared In a paper read today at
the opening session of the national
conference on community organiza
tion. Mr. Lane said his interest in com
munity organization arose from his
conviction that it would help to
solve both of these problems.
"The movement has many phases,"
he said. "It lies, for instance, at
the very root of a proper American
ization. "But above all else, the move
ment tends to break down goup
lines and to bring the people' to
gether as citizens and neighbors
for consideration and action re
garding their needs. A more inter
ested citizenship and more intelli
gent decisions regarding public
questions must reflect themselves in
better government."

ANOTHER TOWN IN
SOUTHERN RUSSIA
FALLS TO RADICALS
Constantinople, March 20. (By
the Associated' Press.) Dispatches
from Novorossisk today state that
Ekaterinodar fell March 18.
(Ekaterinodar is about 75 miles
inland in Cbcaucasia from Novor
ossisk, on the Black sea.)
It is not said positively that red
troops took possession of Ekater
inodar, but as a bolshevik radio
stated that the reds were within a
rew miles or that town on the 18th,
it is believed here that its capture
by the bolshevik! has been effected.
FlilE DESTROYS
50,000 P1MS
FOR LOCG VIEW
Beautifying Park WO! Be Delayed
As Result ef Hot Heasa Klre
Believed Incendiary.
Fifty thousand plans were de
stroyed In a fire that caused $250
damage to the hot house in .Long
View park at 5 o'clock this morn
ing. The plants were seedlings of be
tween 40 and SO varieties of flow
ers that were to have been set out
in the park this spring.
The destruction of the plants
means that there will be a delay in
planting flowers in the park this
spring, according to Chris F. Gaet
jer, park superintendent
This delay in beautifying the
park forms the main loss as tbe
result of the fire. While the plants
were highly valuable they were
produced at low cost, being the
price paid for the seed. However,
when considering the labor of Mr.
Gaetjer and his assistants in plant
ing tbe seeds and performing other
necessary work even the loss of the
nlants takes on a more serious as-
pect than Just the delay in beautify-
ing the park. Mr. Gaetjer said
that it took three weeks to prepare
for this year's crop of flowers.
Matin? Other Plans.
'However, Mr. Gaetjer said' that
he is already making other ar
rangements to obtain flowers for
tbe park, and promised that the
flowers would be gotten with the
least possible delay.
Scores Depredations. V
While it is not known Just how
the fire started it is not considered
improbable that tbe hot bouse was
set on fire. Mr. Gaetjer scored the
list of past depredations at tbe
park, and cited the recent burning
of a duck coop in one of the lakes.
It was pointed out that this fire
was manifestly of incendiary
origin. It cost $50 to build a new
coop.
DRYSTLEAGUE
DECLARES WAR
ON HITCHCOCK
Washington, March 20. The
anti-saloon league today declared
war on Senator Hitchcock of N'e-
orasKa.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general coun
sel for the league, in a . formal
statement, said the senator's dec
laration in favor of an amendment
to the prohibition code permitting
light wines and beers "ought to de
feat him not only as a candidate at
tbe Democratic convention, but for
the leadership in tbe senate."
To champion a beer and wine
amendment is nothing short of an
attack upon law enforcement," said
Mr. Wheeler. "This beer and
wine movement is the entering
wedge .to destroy prohibition."
Stands for Laws.
Senator Hitchcock later issued a
statement saying that the Anti-Saloon
league apparently had not
fully understood his position which
he set forth as follows:
"I stand for an enforcement of
prohibition laws.
"I accept without reservation the
constitutional decision of the peo
ple which abolishes tbe American
saloon forever and with its -strong
intoxicating liquors.
Have Right to Change Law.
"I believe, however, a lawful wej
will be found and ought to be
found to permit the manufacture
and harmless use of light wines and
beers. The supreme court bas
opened the way for this by holding
that congress in Its enforcement
may decide what constitutes intoxi
cating liquor.
"The American people can not be
denied the right to change tbeir
laws within constitutional limits
and the Volstead act like any other
law may be changed within those
limits.
