DICKINSON ASKED TO RAISE
$3.50 FOR BOYS AT FUNSTON

Here is an appeal both to your pa
triotism and your state pride. This
appeal is made by the regimental Of
ficers of the 353rd infantry to raise
the sum of $4,000 as a regimental
fund for the moral and physical COM
fort of the boys Of this command.
This regiment, above all Others in
tie entire army. is unique in the fact
that it is absolutely representative
of every walk in life and industry
that Is to be found in Kansas, and
also in the fact that every county, bar
none, has a representative in this
regiment. The war strength of the
353rd regiment is 300 men. This
organization wants the people of
Kansas to contribute at least $40 for
each man in the regiment. Each man
In the regiment has promised to give
SO himself as a starter. This will
make a total, if the people of Kansas
do their part, Of almost $50, 900.
Dickinson has eighteen men in the
Arkansas 353rd infantry. On a !
basis of $40 for each man, this will
make total for this county to raise
Of $3.50. Let us raise this amount |
before the closing date, which is No
