Members of Regiments Allowed
To Go After Subscriptions.
Indications Point to $4,000
Goal by November 90.

The people of Kansas appreciate the
good work the boys of the ALI
Kansas $500 Infantry are doing,
a-.d are showing their apprecia-
ton and their willingness to
better the physical and moral
welfare of the boys by the splendid
pledges that have been received this
week at the regimental headquarters
One-third of the fund is now in the
hands of the regimental officers The
fact that the All-Kansas regiment is
composed of men from every county
in the state appeals to the state pride
and patriotism of the home folks in
each county. They are showing their
faith in the boys by their generous
contributions to the fund.
visiting Their Homes
This week, members of the regiment
are visiting their home counties max
ing personal solicitations from the
home folks. Reports received so far
show that, without exception, the peo-
pie from the various counties are
heartily in accord with the movement.
They realize it will furnish cleaner
recreation for the boys of the All-Kan-
sas regiment.
From all indications the entire fund
will be raised by November 20. How
ever. there is much more work to be
done, and much more money to be
raised if the goal of $50, 900 is reached
by that time. A special effort is being
made to reach every section OF the
state, either by personal solicitation
from a member of this command or
thru the cooperation of the local ex-
emption boards, the commercial or
ganizations and committees 1t is pos
sible that some individuals have not
had an opportunity to give toward the
fund. If you are among those who
have not been solicited, personally, it
will be greatly appreciated IL your
check is mailed to the regimental
headquarters.
All remittances should be made
payable to Colonel James H. Reeves.

OF course it takes an extra ounce of
humanness to get exactly the charac-

ounce or maybe a bit more.
1t was in English opera that she
achieved this brilliant characterize
