A Story of Sacrifice.
The reports today told story OF
sacrifice. They showed that the cam.
paign has now reached the pitch of
enthusiasm when many persons are
giving until they really feel 1t. IL
would be impossible to comment upon
the individual gifts. The list given OF
the subscriptions of 500 or more
shows briefly what public spirited To-
pekans are doing. But the small glfts
are appreciated, too; the ones that
are made by persons of small means.
The Topeka Rotary club set an ex-
ample for other organizations when
it announced through W. c. Carsweil
q contribution of $500 TWO Irlenos
gave $500 each. Stephenson & WEBB
gave $500 and w. W. Webb. person
ally. who has been one of the leading
spirits in the campaign, 500. 5 Il.
CODD
ment'' company had been formed and

burn college, the name of the con-
Germ being the Kaw Investment com
pany. Norris L. Gage gave an add
tional 5000

list of out of town subscribers Tor the
half million dollar fund with S1,OOO-
Mr.. Benton made an enthusiastic talk

Watch State journal Plant.
The eyes of the entire state of
Kansas are on Topeka said Senator
Otis Benton, who was one OF the
spea kers at the meeting in the Audi
torium today, and who was formerly
a Washburn college student we
have looked at the State journal to
see how the plant grows every day.
Suppose that Washburn college should
be removed from Topeka? How much
would it depreciate real estate values?
This is business proposition; it re-
turns your investment fOur-fold.
ITO feed and house and clothe the
Washburn students and faculty means
100000 or 100000 year. But the
great idea is that WaShburn college
stands for Christian education and OPP
portunity for Christian education.
washburn college is organized to edu-
cate a lot of young men and women
who will go out and give 1T to the
community. 1t stands for the idea of
giving and not getting; it stands for
service and not selfiShneSS. We want
to all have a part in helping along the
idea of Christian education
Il undertake to say that 500 of the
400 Topeka students in Washburn col
lege could not have had the opportun-
ity to gain a Christian education had
not Washburn college been at the very
door"

payment.
Announcement was made that $4,-
500 which will be paid by the city to
persons who signed notes to keep the
pipe organ in Topeka several years
ago, will be turned over to the Wash
burn fund. w. w. Mills, E. H. Crosby,
II. L. Hall, Frank P. MacLennan and
Scott Hopkins have been glad to waive
claim to the money that would come
to them, and turn it over to the fund.

porters had made individual pledges
