Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 214, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1917 — LIBRARY WAR FUND DRIVE [ARTICLE]

LIBRARY WAR FUND DRIVE

WILL BE MADE THURSDAY BY EIGHT TEAMS—S2OO THE GOAL.

There were a large number of* people in attendance at the meeting held Monday evening in the Red Cross headquarters and arrangements were completed to make the campaign to raise S2OO in Rensselaer and Marion township for the Library War Fund. This movement has already received considerable publicity in the columns of The Republican and with the general discussion which has been had it is felt that most people, are quite well advised as to the plans and purposes of this movement. The movement is under the direction of the American Library Association and beside the raising of a large fund this association has received liberal offers from publishers and authors and by this means many more books can be bought through them than should the same amount of money be expended by individuals. That the people of Rensselaer and Marion township will most freely and cheerfully respond to this plan to give our soldiers in the camps and at the fronts in actual war, good wholesome reading matter there can be no doubt. It is not desired that anyone give more than SI.OO. But two hundred people are asked to give that amount. The meeting Monday night in charge of Mrs. Ora T. Ross, who was appointed chairman for the two corporations named. • This unit was selected because it is the same as that from which the public here receives its support by taxation.
