Your Duty by the
Salvation Army
This is the week that you are asked to remember the Salvation Army and its work—its splendid work—for your boy and ours.
The Salvation Army is better at handing out doughnuts, chocolate, smokes and smiles to wounded sol¬ diers than it is at running a finan¬ cial campaign, and as a result it is noted that in the village of Free- port, for instance, but very little adver¬ tising has been done, and that prac¬ tically all by the Nassau County Re¬ view.
The Freeport Lodge of Elks, by re¬ quest, consented to take charge of the campaign, but up to Wednesday had not been furnished with any instruc¬ tions and material, and the campaign half finished without anyone knowing what is expected of them, and no definite instructions as to the amount expected from the village. It is only a question of each person doing what he feels he can afford. The money can be sent to Peter Beck,, chairman of the committee. No. 1 Railroad Av¬ enue, any time before Monday.
