Pease the honor for | reporting the round sum of $666. | Captain Pease’s team, it would seem, | sticks closely to a similarity in fig- ures, his report of yesterday being $888. The weather which was out of sorts today had a tendency to keep away a féw of the workers, but those on hand were well repaid by the ex- cellent repast served. The luncheon committee looking for further honors to those already achieved, had the hall prettily decorated. The orches- tra, which has featured by its sweet strains every day, is also growing in the popularity of the diners. Rev. H. W. Maier of the irst church was called upon this noon to offer grace before the exercises were commenced. Part way through the meal, S. M. Bard gave a brief talk in regard to some of the details pertain- and to ing to the conducting of the cam- paign. No Imnch Tomorrow, It was announced that in the | future the luncheon would commence at 1 0 o’clock instead of 12:15 o’clock. There will be no luncheon tomorrow, and this will afford the workers double time in which to bolster up the fast swelling fund. Mr. Bard said that some of the per- sons on lists had been approached by others but this was through a mis- understanding and would be averted in the remainder of the campaign, A list containing the names of the members of the teams was passed 2mong the diners, and it was ex- plained that in this way it will be easier to keep in touch with one an- other provided a captain of a team wishes to discuss the work with a member of another team. He also urged the captains not to put any amount on the inside of the en- velopes, which did not correspond with the contents. This was done vesterday in several instances which has caused some confusion among those in charge. The speaker recom- mended the securing of the reports of Superintendent Crawford, which gives a fair idea of the accomplish- ments with the boys at the club. He also outlined the manner in which the canvassers should approach per- sons and told them not to ask for charity but to explain that i was a work that would benefit the com- munity.
