The meetings at Quincy, Grant and
Mckinley schools this evening in the
interests of the war saving stamp
campaign will commence promptly at
$3.50 o'clock. These meetings are to
be short and businesslike and are not
supposed to keep persons longer than
an hour.
The object is to get people to prom
Use to do their utmost in the purchase
of thrift stamps and baby bonds and
to arouse interest in their rule. The
quota for. North Topeka is $4,000
and the North side does not wish to
fall short.
Arthur Brintnall has decorated a
window at the Fair store that is
worth u ecial trip to see. The idea
is patriotic and most pertinent at this
time, as it urges the buying of thrift
stamps and gives q practical demon
stration of what their purchase will
accomplish.
Upon a small platform is a figure
representing Kaiser Bill surround,
ing him are soldiers of the United
States and the allies, and back OF
them are thrift stamps and baby
bonds. At the corners Of the plat
form are the flags of the allies and IN
the center back the United States flag
The kaiser stands perilously near the
edge of q hole in the center OF the
platform from which leap yellow and
red flames which lick at his face.
Placards bearing these words hang
about the platform: Get behind the
boys by buying thrift stamps" Help
push the kaiser in the hole-every lit
tie bit helps"
