RED CROSS WORK STARTED

Under the supervision of Mrs. Por- ter, the local work of the Red Cross Chapter has received an impetus which bids fair to carry it forward with great strides during the coming weeks.
 Last Tuesday the sewing rooms were open all day and from the hours of 9:SO until 4:30 the ladies sewed and knitted diligently. The announce ment at the end of the day showed the number of articles completed and stimulated those present to even greater effort. Donations of old, well laundered linens are still in demand as every thing is utilized in a most wonderful way.
 The committee on "comfort bags" for the soldiers are making canvas among the young ladies for volun- teers who will put in the bags made such needful articles as pins, needles, buttons etc.

MONEY NOT TIED UP

Money invested in Liberty Loan Bonds is in no way in the world "tied up." So far as the Government is concerned the money paid in for these bonds, including that loaned our allies, is being and is to be spent in this country and therefore immediately paid back to the people for labor and products of the United States. So far from being "tied up" this money is in effect never withdrawn from circula- ton.
 So far as the investor in the Liber- ty Bonds is concerned his money is not "tied up" since there is always ready market for United States Government Bonds. Everybody knows this. AS shown by the subscription the demand for Liberty Loan Bonds exceeded the supply 50 per cent. This creates an immediate market for the Liberty Loan Bonds. Another issue will be offered to the people the an- nouncement of which will be made by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in due course. The oversubscription of the first issue is an indication of what may be expected for the second issue, which it is hoped will meet with a larger number of subscribers and @ great sum subscribed.

w NJ A. 27: Lowe-Campbell 80.

w. M. A. 27; LOwe-Campbell 81.
The red and white qulntette
of w. M. A. lost their Saturdays
game to the Lowe-Campbell five
of Kansas City. The score at
the close of the game was rather
surprising to the spectators, as
the visiting team is said to be
the best out of Kansas City, and
were doped to double the score
on the locals. The final score
was 80 to 27.
The cadets we're the first to
score, but were soon tied and
passed by the K. c. team, and
the score at the end of the first
half was 16 to II. The wearers
! of the red and white, rather
proud of having held the visitors
down the first period, entered
the second half with more conf
dence and knotted the count
The visitors managed to forge
ahead and never lost their lead
Probably the greatest factor IL
the defeat of the locals was thu
numerous fouls and the newt
able free goal shooting of th'
visitors left guard, Wicklyne,
former Northeast High captain
of Kansas City. He receives
about twenty chances at the fire
point and missed only one.
The star player for w. M. A
was Pedro Gardner, left forwar
and captain, who was responsible
for more than half Of w. M. A
points. Gardner is a consister
player and good steady leade.
Although losing the cadets pt
up a good fight and upset til
preceding dope. M. s. U. {
Columbia only defeated tt
Love- Campbell quintette by Il
narrow margin of 5 points.
Irwin Morris was in charge
the game.

JAIL BREAKER
ALMOST REPEATS.
Sheriff j.. C. Talbot Thwarted
Scheme. Prisoners Return
ed to Kansas.

Monday night about eight
o'clock Sheriff Talbott's atten-
ton was attracted by an unusual
noise in the Jail building and on
Investigating found that one Of
his prisoners had made a lead
key and was about ready to
make his getaway.
The prisoner in question was
Elmer A. Inman, who assisted
another man to rob a jewelry
store in Winfield, Kansas, No
vember 18, 1915, of $4,000
worth of jewelry. He broke jail
in Winfield January 8, along with
four other prisoners. A detec-
tive had been on his trial ever
since. Sunday he followed a
woman in Kansas City to the
union station where she bought
a ticket to Lexington. At Well
ington a man knocked on the
window of the car where the
woman was sitting; she immed,
lately left the car followed by
the detective, who arrested
them both and brought them t.
Lexington. The woman was re
leased and the man made quite
a stab to release himself.
Inman with another man haC
been in Lexington all day Sun
day and were driving a Ford ca
bearing a Kansas license. A
the Mollenkamp garage, lnmal
assisted Jas. R. Moorehead, Jr
in removing the '16 tag from hi
car and replacing it with a i
tag. Inman asked Mr.. Moore
head if he might have the ol
tag, which was given him afte
an explanation that it might g
him in trouble. But Inman sal
that he was handling a propo
ition among farmers and that /
anticipated no trouble. He droN
a short way from town and r
placed the Kansas tag with Il
old Missouri one. The two me
then drove to Wellington
meet said woman and were a
rested.
Inman seems to be conside
able of a mechanic. He w
placed in one of the cages
the county Jail. He got out
that and back again and no o
seems to know how he accol
plished it.

10000 and includes six 30-60
? Gas Tractor Outfits, and two

dition of the roads is exceeding
ly good, due to the dry winter,
and good fall season, and if the
same amount of work can be
done this year all main roads
2 should be in fine shape. Nearly
all the bridges and culverts
washed out during the floods of
the spring Of 1915 have been re-
= placed, and only a few bridges
0 are in very bad condition. The
- large bridge over the Sni at

S unfinished work is a small steel
j. bridge near Mason Brown.
