MET COlii i FDR mi FUND Contributions Still Being Received by Committee at Commercial Club. Despite the fact that the campaign came to a close List Monday, subscriptions to the soldiers' welfare fund continue to pour ; in. it was stated last night by J. David Larsen, secretary of the executive committee com-mittee in charge of the work. Many requests were received by the various va-rious committees yesterday from patriotic citizens, who asked that their contributions contribu-tions be accepted even if the campaign was over. So many requests of this nature na-ture were received, Mr. Darsen explained, that the committees have decided to accept ac-cept any donations that are offered. No soliciting for contributions is expected, ex-pected, but anyone who wishes to provide the Sammies with luxuries this winter can do so by sending their check to, or getting in touch with, the executive committee witn headquarters in the Commercial club. Although it is known that Utah has oversubscribed her quota of :l(m,oou, the grand total has not yet been compiled, and will not be completed in less than a week, it is said by those in charge of the campaign. That foreign corporations doing business in Utah have contracted the Utah spirit of patriotism is the declaration made by Secretary Larson. Mr. Larson based his declaration upon the large contributions to the soldiers' welfare fund by the foreign corporations who have interests in this, state. Mr. Larson emphasized the fact that in no way do these donations mean a. financial finan-cial benefit to these corporations, as the money is given, and not loaned. Tt also shows that these firms are always ready to back up "our boys" who have joined in the tight against kaiserism, Mr. Larson says.
