Entire" State Joins in Huge Campaign to Meet Utah Quota. RESPONDING nobly to the appeal carried to them in the name of the Red Cross and inspired in their giving by tbe splendid liberality displayed In the cause of humanity human-ity at the banquet Monday night at the Hotel Utah, the people of Salt Lake yesterday yes-terday poured a continuous stream of golden patriotism into the hands of the Red Cross teams, swelling the total last night up to $196,695.25. Yesterday's contribution in Salt Lake amounted to $47,339.25, of which $33,935 was reported with the names of the donors at' the luncheon, $13,104 was reported re-ported by captains of teams, but without with-out the names being turned in to the executive committee, and $300.25 derived from the sale of peonies by twelve young ladies on the streets. This leaves approximately $269,000 yet to be collected, basing Utah's quota on the. increase from $350,000 to $466,000, as decided upon at the luncheon yesterday, or nearly $15,000 per day for the remaining remain-ing days of the campaign. Whole State Helps. 1 Simultaneously with the worlt which was so unselfishly conducted in Salt Lake by men who for the week are devoting their entire energies to the cause, men and women of affairs throughout the state bent their energies in the same direction, di-rection, rolling tip a substantial sum and helping materially in placing Utah in the honor position among the states of the west. While Salt Lake has taken the lead in the great work of humanity, because of its greater wealth and population, a magnificent mag-nificent appreciation of the responsibility which rests upon it has been shown by the balance of the state. From the most distant and isolated hamlet there is coming a response to duty which will cause Utah's star in the great blue field to scintillate with the pride of thousands of givers, some of whom already have given "until it hurts." Salt Lake stood with wide-open pocket-book pocket-book yesterday morning when the 102 team members made their calls, and the reports of contributions made at the luncheon at the Commercial cluh nt noon offered new inspiration for the work which will be continued until next Monday Mon-day night, when it is confidently believed that. Instead of giving Utah's first quota of $3".0,0on toward the nation's sion.nno,-Ot'tO sion.nno,-Ot'tO Red Cross fund, the Beehive state wdll be found to have opened her hea rt to the extent of more than half a million mil-lion dollars. Task Is Increased. In view of the fact that Salt Lake so liberally has contributed' to the fund, it was announced at the luncheon yesterday yester-day that the task imposed on the people of Utah had been increased, and, Instead of contributing ?3-Vy00, Utah will respond re-spond to the call for J'.O.OriO, or one dollar dol-lar per capita of population.

He appeared to have the impression that the people of the west were lacking in "pep," and that a contribution hasr on JP per cent of the population would be all that could be exported of Utah. "We do not intend, howfver," said Mr. Hairch'-tt, "to rate oi:r patriotism at 50 cents on the dollar." "The task is a little larger than first Imposed on you," said Mr. Hanch'Ht, In a dd rossing the me ml rs of the teams, "hut under the inspiration of the moment you will not fail.

PROUD to be assigned to duty among those who are bending every energy to make good Utah's self-imposed quota of $466,000 for the American Red Cross, 14 of Salt Lake's most attractive young ladies volunteered their services yesterday, and at the c'ose of the day handed in the sum of $300.25 from the sale of beautiful peonies on the streets, in the public offices and tho hotel lobbies lob-bies of the city.

The sale was made under the personal direction of Sheriff John S. Uorless and Frank 15. Johnson. Two additional automobiles auto-mobiles were furnished by P. J. Mcintosh and W. R. Flliott, and were used for carrying the young ladies to various parts of the downtown district and in conveying new supplies of (lowers as they were eagerly absorbed by the public. The peonies brought all kinds of prices, from 10 cents to $'.'5, the latter sum being paid by a prominent physician. Scores of buyers paid a silver dollar for a (lower and if no change was made, and none was offered, there was no kick.
