NEAR HALF QUOTA
S3,392.75 Raised for Salvation
Army War Fund.
StenOgraphers' Give Literally
to the Campaign.
BIBY MAKES GOOD TALK
He Says Every Organization Is
Needed in Trenches.
Dreaming Team Continues To
Lead in Subscriptions.

Reports of team captains in the
Salvation Army $4,000 war activities
drive in Topeka reported total of
s992.75 subscribed since Friday noon.
The making of the report took up
about 5 minutes of the noon hour.
The rest of the time was given over
to the spreading of pep propaganda
with w. A. Biby as the principal dis
tributor.
Red Cross" declared Biby almost
with his opening statement. And
Mort Albaugh would give his life for
this, too, if he had had two lives to
give. Mort Albaugh would have stood
firmly in front of the battle line as a
leader in this drive for the Salvation
Army" This was the spirit of giving
that Biby invoked to lead the workers
of the Salvation Army drive to victory
before next Wednesday, and this, too,
was the uncomfortable spirit that
Biby declared as standing firmly for
backing the war to the end.
All Organizations Needed.
That old argument of the business
men that the Salvation Army was
duplicating the work of the Y. NJ. c. A
reared its head again this noon.
Biby took the floor, and drove home
the fallacy of this 1.-The Y. NJ. c. A,
the Hebrew Organization, the Red
Cross and all of the other organiza-
tions engaging in relief work on the
battle front, if they had five years to
collect funds, could not start to serve
all of the men, nor any large proper
ton of them, even.
England said we have given our
sons, and now our money is the least
backing We can give them" Billy
went to the bat with this statement
and went on record with the declara-
ton that Anything the fighting par
son and Bob Stone are for suits me.
need no other urging
Another view of the work of the
Salvation Army given by Biby is this:
THE Salvation Army has been work
ing in the city of London and in Paris
for years. They have every dive and
house of ill fame and temptation that
is liable to fall in the way of our SOL
dierS catalogued and card indexed.
What institution is better prepared to
protect our boys from these pitfalls 2"
Stenographers Give Money.
Speaking of the present drive in
Topeka Biby held up as examples five
girl stenographers he and his team So
liclted fhis morning. These girls are
working for a salary of $45 or $50 a
month" declared Biby, land out of
this they must dress themselves and
pay for their board and room. Every
one of these girls gladly came across
with S5.''
AS a closing admonition to the
workers and to the citizens of Topeka
Frank Curry gave this bit of advice:
Don't look at the Salvation Army in
terms OF Topeka. Look at it in terms
of the world"
The meeting adjourned until Mon
day noon.

UP FOR COURTMARTIAL
Medical Officers Held Responsible for
Death of Private.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 23.-Dispatches
received here today from Washington
assert that Lieut.. Col. j. H. Allen,
medical reserve corps, and Maj. Mil
ton Board, medical corps, officers at
Camp Zachary Taylor, the new ma
tional army cantonment near here,
have been ordered by the war depart
ment to appear before a court mar
tial for trial in connection with the
death of Private Ohio Murray, a Sc
lect man from Cumberland county,
Kentucky.
Murray, it was said, was ordered
back into training before he fully had
recovered from an attack of measles.
The case against Lieutenant Colonel
Allen, however, is understood to be
based upon the technicality that as
head of the medical reserve corps, he
was responsible for the acts of his
SubOrdinateS.

WHAT PUTNAM COUNTY NEEDS
MOST

In asking ourselves the question
what does Putnam county need most
We become at a loss as to the first
answer. Probably if the same ques-
tion was asked every person in Put
nam ciunty there would be as many
different answers as there are peo-
pie. Some would say that Putnam
county above everything else needs
good roads. Another would say, no,
first of all Putnam county needs bet
ter schools. where children can be
given more time and attention. Still
others would onswer that we need
better churches, and from good or
ganized churches other good will
come. Getting to the more local
side of the question, some men would
say, Putnam county is primarily an
agriculturaF county, so the greatest
need win be something that will
stimulate agriculture. Therefore,
many men would soy pure bred live
stock is the greotest need of our
county. Everyone has different
view point. Did it ever occur to yiu
that possibly the greatest need of
our county is community organiza-
ton.
What do we mean by community
Can it mean thot we
wish ii industrialize agriculture? Com
munity organization is rather hard
to define concretely, bu Tit can be

low prices Why? The buyers in

distance of 500 miles from Nashville,
and yet generally speaking, they will
Putnam county is peculiarly adapted
to the growing of Irish potatoes and
we have as COOL pitatoes here as any
place in the United States. Why,
then, can We not sell them? Because
of the absence of community organ

In cimmunities that are organized
potatoes can be brought tigether and
graded for the market, and after be-
ing graded our potatoes will be wor-

will seriously cinsider the grading OF
potatoes our county and your com.

sound potatoes. Standardization
cannot only be accomplished with
Irish potatoes but with all farm pro-
ducts and live stock.
In order for Putnam county to
keep abreast with the times in the
present demand for better and more
food stuff she will have to study her
community problems. The govern
ment has a right to call on every
community to tax itself to the ut.

nifty will be able to answer the call
will be by an organized effort, that
will eventually lead into a progress.
