Women Plan to Reach Every Woman
and Child in County During
Next Liberty Loan Drive
Here.
MANY INTERESTING FEATURES.
April ) to be Poster Day and Liberty
Day Will be April G.-Meeting
Soon.

To reach the 1926 women and girls
in Hamilton county, the wOman's or
ganization for the new liberty loan
campaign has been extended to in
clude township chairman and
agricultural committee, together
with still other committees, covering
every feature of woman's activities
including church, club, home, school,
etc. A very comprehensive organiza-
ton has already been perfected in
this city under the leadership of
Mrs. Ella Burleson.
Many Features.
The woman's liberty loan campaign
will have many special and interest
ing features. Aside from the solicit
tation Of every woman in the county
for loan subscriptions, the organiza-
ton will seek to interest lodges,
clubs, schools and groups of women
in taking out bonds as benefit funds
for patriotic causes-principally that
of the Red Cross.
Red Cross members, including
those of county auXiliaries and Junior
Red Cross memberships in town
and rural schools, will be asked,
where possible, to make up a bond
among their individual members for
the benefit of the Red Cross. Supt.
E. F. Snow will serve as leader in the
campaign to be conducted through
out the county schools, and Miss
Katherine Lane will conduct the
campaign here.
Baby Bonds.
A baby liberty bond drive will
probably be one Of the most popular
features of the campaign. The plan
is to induce parents to subscribe for
bonds for the children in the family
and to put children's savings into
liberty loan bonds.
April 5, as opening day. of the CAM
paign, will be poster day and some

the evening in his best and most eff
fective style. The address was an
eloquent setting forth Of the pathos
and patriotism of these families CIV
ing of their sons for the high aims of
the war, and it met with frequent ap-
plause. Although the hour was late,
Mr.. Hampton held the close attention
of the audience to the last minute,
and his address formed fitting close
to program that will long be re-
membered in Webster City.
An Effective Feature.
A very interesting and effective
feature of the program was the pres
ence of the winnipeg Riddles" as
guests of the church. With their
parents and instructors they sat in
a group at the right of the platform
and joined most heartily in the con-
gregational singing. One of their
number recited "The Street Car
Ticket" very effectively and capti-
waited the audience with her rare
juvenile charm, and another little
Winnipegian sang Keep the Home
Fires Burning" the whole company
joining in the chorus, so effectively,
that the audience demanded and got
an encore. The winnipeg Riddles
are very notable troupe of juvenile
patriots. There are ten of them,
boys and girls, and their mission is
to stimulate patriotism. In Canada
the party raised $4,000 for the Re-
turned Soldiers association, and the
little folks and their managers are
now on a campaign in the interest of
The American And British Recruit
ing Mission. Their advertised APP
pearance at the Orpheum at 4:30
this afternoon and s tonight will
doubtless draw big audiences. They
carried the congregation by storm
last night.
