TOPEKA FAR AHEAD
This City Gave $3.50 on Red Cross
Theater Day-Wichita, $25.

Topeka, as usual, outdistanced all
other cities in her gifts to war work

of the owners in the afternoons.
The schools of the city under the
direction of Supt. H. B. Wilson and
his principals aided greatly in the
movement. The children of the
schools subscribed $3.50 in theatel
tickets for the Red Cross day per-
formances. Other large individual
amounts were given by the knights

The burglar had entered the house
as quietly as possible, but his shoes
were not padded and they made some
noise. He had just reached the door
of the bedroom when he heard some
one moving in bed, as if about to
get up, and he paused. The sound
of a woman's voice floated to his
ears.

He went downstairs without a word,
but he didn't take off his boots In

his eye.

MUST NOT ALLOW
LOAN TO FALL BEHIND
Speakers at tho meeting in tho au-
dttorium OF the Chamber Of Commerce
were emphatic In pointing out that
richmond bankers and financial men,
for other as we'll as patriotic reasons.
should not allow tho city to lag behind
in the matter OF carrying forward tho
work of securing subscriptions to the
national loan. John Kerr Branch, pres
ident Of the Merchants National Bank,
in a rousing speech. told his audience
that failure to subscribe to tho move
ment was fraught with Eravest conse-
uuences and would entail in tho end
hundreds OF thousands of dollars In
creased expenditures.
That Richmond should far exceed the
amount assigned to this city was the
unanimous opinion Of those present
at tho meeting. John NJ. Miller. Jr,
president of the First National Bank,
said it would be great satisfaction
to Germany to know that the effort to
secure full subscription to the Lib
erty loan had been n failure. Amer
lea must show the Germans. he said,
by great overplus of subscriptions to
the bonds. that this nation is firmly
behind President Wilson.
AS the direct result of this meeting
the following banks and individuals
doubled their subscriptions:
