Show oo SPANISH IR VETS HELPING TO RECROIT The movement started by the Spanish Span-ish War Veterans of Ogden to provide the Ogden Army recruiting office with a service automobile is meeting with success although it has not yot been fairly started. A check made last evening of the contributions showed a total of $21.13 received to date, according to SergL McLeod. The Spanish War Veterans havo each contributed $1 to the fund and several other contributions of $1 have been made by individuals. The Turner Smoke House on Hudson avenue ave-nue and Twenty-fifth street on its own initiative Installed a contribution box which has been receiving small change, anything from one cent up, and when opened last evening showed $2.33. Tho Spanish War Veterans in sponsoring spon-soring the movement have undertaken to enlist tho aid of all fraternal organizations or-ganizations in Ogden and their officers offi-cers and secretaries are called on to support tho movement officially. William Wil-liam Phillipps, manager of the Lucerne Hotel, is chairman of tho veterans' Committee handling the campaign for that organization and has been boosting boost-ing it strongly. Tho car when obtained will be given a bright coat of red, white and blue paint so that it will speak for itself and tho United States army wherever it goes and will thus be one of the best advertisements for the service which tho local recruiting bureau could have. The car will be used exclusively for recruiting purposes for the Ogden station sta-tion and will enable tho staff at work here to cover more territory with greater effectiveness than heretofore. It will be taken through the territory in tho northern division, covered by the local staff, and will carry the message mes-sage of Uncle Sam's call to men in a vivid, convincing way.
