The amount of funds hoped to be
raised in this city is based upon the
population of the city. A city of 15,-
1000 population is asked for $3.50, a
city of 10000 is asked for $500; in
other words per cent of the popula-
ton.
| The fund to be collected is for the
erection and maintenance of tempo
rary libraries and the purchase of
| literature for the use of the soldier
boys both in this country and in
France.
Secretary of War Baker and Secre-
tray of the Navy Daniels are at the
head of this movement. They request
ed the Governor of the State to ap-
point council for Missouri Hon. W.
K. James of st. Joseph is chairman of
the State Council.
| 1t is further suggested by the coun-
cil that every patriotic man and wo-
man will be willing to give dollar to
assist the soldiers in having the con-
veniences and comforts of a place to
read and something that is wholesome
TO read. This Of course will necessi-
tate a librarian to keep the library in
order and to attend the library and
procure the books for the soldiers in
heir encampments where they are de-
tanned in the United States and in
France.
Every team worker can commence
soliciting at once. They will be fur
nlshed a printed blank in the next few
days which will contain the name and
the address of the giver and the
4 amount contributed. These lists should
he turned in to Miss Kent or Mr.
| Oliver and they in turn will forward
| hem to Chairman James, to be sent
70 the chairman Of the National Ii
brary Association.
Every dollar therefore that is sub
Scribed for this patriotic cause will be
4 contribution for the entertainment
md assistance of patriotic sons who
have enlisted or been selected to save
the country and its institutions from
the encroachment of the despotism of
an ambitious Kaiser.
Each team worker will remember
that he or she is expected to meet
Miss Kent and Mr.. Oliver on Monday
evening, September "a. at 7:3O p. m.

purpose of a systematic compaign in
