p lions to Club.

Away.

rcaptured" by the Commercial club
armies in the military campaign which
began Monday morning. The Army OF
the Long View under Colonel George
Godfrey Moore was In the lead. having
taken eighty-five captives, while the
Army of the Kaw under Colonel E. $.
Rettyjohn had fifty-One names to It's
credit. All but about 10 per cent: OF the
Memberships were renewals. A ther-
mometer was placed at the corner OF
Eighth and Kansas avenues today to
show the progress of the campaign, out
the wind played havoc with this ad-
Nertising device.
Colonel George Godfrey Moore and
n. H. Pugh working together late Mon
day procured 90 members. This is the
best record made thus far in the cam
paign. As there were but $50 pafdup
members in the club when the cam
paign started 1t will be only by siren
nous effort that the goal of fifteen
hundred will be reached. 1t will not be
possible to reach this goal in less than
two months unless the business. men OF
the town will agree to devote some time
to the work. There were ten men in
the field today.
