RED CROSS FUND
rs STILL GROWING
County Has Oversubscribed to
$4,000 Fund Asked For
by the President.
Some Cities Have Doubled
Their Quota-Kansas City
a Leader in Work.


Kansas counties, has oversubscribed
to the Red Cross fund. President
Wilson asked for only $4,000 and
the total funds raised in the county
to date are $11,225.80. Contribu-
tions continue to come in and there
are few yet to see. The probable
tiles are that it will go several thous-
and dollars higher, according to j..
L. Hinchman, secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Five Seward county men gave do
nations of $500 each, twenty-six gave
800 each, so gave $50 each and "a
made donations of $25 each. The
remainder of the fund came in dona-
tions of less than $25. Practically
every adult gave something to the
fund.
But Seward county is not the only
place that is oversubscribing. Many
of the big cities have jumped over
their allotment. Kansas City has
more than doubled its call for ,1-2
million dollars. Other cities that
are oversubscribed are: Newark, N.
j.; Youngstown, o.; Des Moines, Ia. |;
Birmingham, Ala. Wheeling, W. Va;
New Orleans; New Haven, Conn. (;
Milwaukee; Jersey City, N. j.; In
dianapolis; Harrisburg, Pa; Great
er Kansas City; Springfield, Mass. /;
Wilmington, Del; Denver.
Taking the nation as whole, the
goal Of 100 million dollars already
been passed and in some places work
has Just been started. Cleveland
which started out to raise only 1000
900 has subscribed $4,619,576 and
has wired headquarters that they are
stiNl sSoing. New York has raised
SO MILLIONS of its quota of 40 million,
Los Angeles is leading all the coast
cities with $SS6,S44.
In the seventh district OF Kansas
the fund promises to be oyersubscrib-
ed. Most of the counties have raised
more than their quota. A few of the
more sparsely settled counties are a
little short but the wealthy and more
populous counties have made that up
for them. Reno county has gone
$1,000 above its allotment.
