Give Days Wages.
Speaking of one of the methods that
for raising war funds. Mulvane today
urged all Topeka and Shawnee county
residents to so arrange their affaIrs
that their particular contribution TO
the Red Cross war fund would be not
less than one days wages. This plan
has been followed in many cities and
its success has been marked, said Null
vane this morning. and here in Topeka
we expect every man TO give US not
less than one day out of his year.
1T seems to me that it is but
small thing to ask" continued Null
vane- Thousands of our boys are
giving their lives on the battle front
that our homes may be kept inyiolate-
Thousands more of our best are going
overseas every day for the same rea-
son. The Red Cross brings comfort
and cheer to these boys in their
camps, ministers to them when they
fall in No Mans Land under the fire
of the Huns, carries them to the rear
and il they are permanently disabled
cares for them in its big reclamation
hospitals in this country. Your boy
is among these fighting men who will
sooper or later come under the care of
the Red Cross and it is little to ask of
you that you feel in your pocket and
contribute few dollars to his care
