The third liberty loan was SUD
scribed by one in every six OF the pop
rilation. The second Red Cross drive
should bring out no smaller percent
age of contributors. The liberty loan
and the Red Cross are twin objects OF
patriotic necessity. The Red Cross
fund has the advantage, however. OF
doing things which the liberty loan
money cannot do-for the Red Cross Is
not bound up with red tape and is able
TO seek out suffering and to succor it
under any and all conditions. The
American. Red Cross has the added ad-
vantage of being differed by men and
women who. tho volunteers, have been
selected with the discrimination OF the
conscripts. In carrying on their work
they have no secrets from the public
that sustains them. Stated reports
have informed the country from time
to time of all the details of Red Cross
activity; and this is one object of gen.
erous contribution where every con-
tributor can have the satisfaction of
knowing that every penny of his Of
fering reaches it's designed beneficiary.

STATE HOUSE DARK
Breakdown at Power Plant Leaves
Officials Without Light Again.

The state house was dark, gloomy
place today. Another breakdown at
the state heating plant at Tenth ave-
nue. and jackson street was RESPONSE
Bile for the condition. According to
reports sent to state departments to-
day, there is little chance that lights
will be turned On until late next week.
Strict adherence to a policy of econ
omy has never permitted the state to
arrange for a cable connecting the
state house lights with the Edison
wires. There are probably a dozen
individual lights in the state house
available for Edison service. As q re-
suit the frequent breakdowns at the
state plant have thrown the state
house in darkness. Today the state
house basement was dungeon and
oil lamps and candles were being
called into service in various floors of
the buildins-much to the inconven-
fence of employees and the general
disgust Of department patrons and
visitors
