TO ASK FOR HAT ROOM TIPS
Red Cross Girls 10 Be Put in CHARGE
OF Places Where Tips Are
Plentiful.

CIeF Gland Oh!o.--5A new method OF
raising hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars annually FOR the Red Cross and
other worthy war causes has been ad-
Nanced here. II is suggested that Red
Cross girls be placed in charge of hat
and coat checking rooms at hotels and
other places where such privileges net
thousands OF dollars annually. II is
pointed out that the continual seeking
of tips and charges in such places is
annoying. but that no one would feel
that way about Red Cross represen-
tative and would be more than apt to
give generously Whether the sugges.
zion will be followed up is not yet
known. but influential persons here
are said to be strongly In favor OF tho
plan

Lake, Iowa, January q. 1878. He died
after very brief illness Of paralysis at
his home near Keota, Colo, April 16.
1918, aged 20 years. 2 months and 20
days. He was married to Miss Mettie
May Hennis on January %, 1903. Two
children, Ellen and Charles. were born
Of this union. He was one Of eleven
children, five boys and six girls, and
was the first Of his fathers family to b
called away. He came to Keota in
March Of 1910, and had lived here con-
tinuously with his family on their home
stead, since that time. He was . MEM
Der Of the United Brethren church 1T
Clearfield, Iowa, and Of Keota Grange.
A loving and devoted husband and "a
ther, and good citizen, he win be sorely
missed by his family and by the entire
community. The funeral was con-
Quoted by Rev. Dickson from the home

KEOTA GOES OVER THE TOP
More than Doubles Quota in Lib
erty Loan Drive

With reasonably thoro canvass Of
the voting precinct, made under uncer-
tain and trying weather conditions. the
several teams Of volunteer workers, un-
der the leadership Of Captain c. o.
Dodder. have gone lover the top" with
subscriptions to the third liberty loan
amounting to SIS. 200. up to Wednesday
evening. Keota's quota was Sc. 800,
and this amount will be subscribed more
than two and one-half times. ~ it seems
certain that the subscriptions brought
in by the Boy Scouts and others will
swell the total to more than sixteen
thousand dollars.
Perhaps the most effective individual
team work WAS done last Friday by Cap
tain Dodder and Joseph U. Painter.
who between .. m. and l 80 p. m got
signatures for 5000 Of bonds. They
worked territory southwest of Keota,
and many Of the subscribers were Rus
sian-Germans. The team workers met
with almost unanimously favorable res
ponse from the people visited. and Us
ually received at least minimum sub
scription. Some Of the few refusals
were by persons who from oil appear
ances were much better able to buy
than were others who subscribed, and
these will probably be made subjects
for further solicitation. In one district,
which had hailed out last year and dried
out the year before. every man but one
subscribed, and that one was . man
who owns . good half section Of land,
patented to him under homestead entry,
and apparently In more secure circum-
stances than the majority Of his neigh
bors.
The new bonds bear interest at the
rate Of four and one-quarter per cent,
payable semi-snnually. The Govern
ment's terms Of payment are s per
cent down; second installment 10 20 per
cent payable May 18th; third INSTALL
ment IS per cent payable July 18;
fourth installment 20 per cent payable
August 18th.
