Liberty Loan Day

Thursday, May End, was big day
in Trego County when everybody came
to Wa-Keeney and helped celebrate
the closing day of the Third Liberty
Loan drive that had been on for a
month Ninty thousand dollars was
the quota for Trego county but she
did herself proud, and went over the
top with something like S1O1, 900 thus
proclaiming to the world her loyalty,
zeal and patriotism. Our people were
there with the goods and everybody
felt mighty happy over it and an i'm
mense crowd gathered at the Fair
Grounds to help celebrate the event.
A splendid program had been prepar-
ed for the day and the large pavilion
could not accommodate the unusually,
large crowd that gathered in and
around the building. Hon. Chas. F.
Scott, of lola, was speaker of the day.
his services having been secured by
R. c. Wilson, chairman of the Liberty
Loan for Trego county.
The exercises opened before enter
ing the building when Company A.
Kansas State Guards, of Wa-Keeney,
and Company B., of Ogallah, gave
some very interesting drills and man
euvers in front of the grand stand,
these drills were witnessed by large
crowd and gave the people an oppor-
tunity to see some of the work they are
doing The program in the pavilion
was opened by an overture by the
Wa-Keeney Orchestra under the dir
ection of Mrs. Steinberger following
by some excellent snappy numbers by
the Community chorus under the dir
ection of Mrs. Niesley Mrs. Lynn,
Mrs. TenneH and Mr.. Sohlberg rem
dered splendid vocal numbers. Miss
Lacy Herrick gave an excellent read
ing and rendered it in her usual sp1en-
did manner. The address by Mr.
Scott was one of the finest ever list
ened to by the people of Trego
county. His out line of events which
involved in the war was intensely in
terestipg and the facts are well worth
knowing. Time and space forbid quot
ing extensively from his speech and
fortunately there were few who did
not hear it. He is a speaker of un-
usual ability and held his audience
until the close. His speech abounded
with frey patriotism and zeal and
was greeted with loud applause and
cheers. At the close of the address
r. c. Wilson presented honor flags to
Wa-Keeney, Collyer and Ogallah.
These flags were given to each town
in America that went over the amount
to be raised in the Third Liberty Bond
sale.
