State Park Fund Needs Some Big Donations NOW! IGHTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS by Wednesday! That's what we have to raise, folks. That's going to spell the difference between success and failure for the Salt Water Summer Estate for the Common Folks—the state-park-on-the-Sound campaign. On Wednesday that amount—10 per cent of the pur- chase price of the tract south of Des Moines—will have to be turned over to Administrator Fowler of the estate as earnest money in order to get a renewal of the option, At the present rate contributions are coming in, we will fail. Even tho the “dollar men” are rallying enthusiasti- cally to the cause, the total contributions, at $1 each, mount up slowly.
