HELP EQUIP GUARDS
Rifle and Gun Clubs Urged to Lend
Arms to Companies.

Kansas rifle and gun clubs will have
chance to display patriotism this
winter by aiding in the temporary
equipment of home guard organiza-
lions Col. Jonathan D Norton. in
charge of the home guard work. an
nounced today that several gun clubs
had been aiding in providing arms for
the home guards. Numerous other or
CARNATIONS may be equipped in a sim
liar manner
In Topeka Capt Art Hargis, in
charge of the home guard organiza-
ton, has secured the temporary use of
nearly fifty guns for his men Other
assistance is being solicited and il is
probable a sufficient number of guns
may be loaned to equip the local COM
pany pending receipt of guns from
the federal government. In all cases
the guns viii be carefully cared for by
home guard units and will be returned
to original owners when the govern
ment sends equipment.
Owing to the heavy demand for
guns for men in the army service, the
government has been unable to make
immediate shipment of arms for home
guard use. Yet the demand for
equipment is heavy from all sections
of the state and many of the conf
panies are relying on aid from gun and
rifle clubs and indiVid uaIs with rifles
which can be temporarily rendered TO
the qua rdsmen Col. Norton has
urged that gun clubs aid the guard
units until shipments of arms are re-
ceived from government departments.
